Where does the time go?

I don't recall authorizing it to be the 9th of March. I'd like to speak to whoever is responsible for this, please!

Got felled by another migraine yesterday. It wasn't the usual kind, either. It was just sort of a latent "Ick, my eyes kind of hurt" that lasted all day until around 8:30pm, when it went from "ick" to "Okay, I have to go home NOW."

Went home, collapsed into bed, lapsed into a coma until 8 o'clock this morning. Am now feeling considerably better, but have decided to take the morning easy. I am happily posting away to Bluebook, and later on I may continue watching Battlestar Galactica.

Four migraines in ten days is not my idea of fun. I think I have to start refusing to take those double shifts for a while. This is very clearly a message about not getting enough sleep.

Something else I forgot

Many thanks to sorceror for the Forgetful Jones pic. It is now a happy icon. :)


The thing I forgot to mention (among many others, I'm sure) is that they fired the little Italian boy at work this week. I can't say I'm surprised. It's not that he wasn't a good worker, because he was, and he was nice in his own way. He just played a little too fast and loose with his hours worked/hours charged. He was warned repeatedly, and when he ignored the warnings he was fired. That and a few other things.

It's too bad. I kind of liked him, and he certainly kept things interesting. The central is much quieter without him around. That's a good thing and a bad thing. I'm not worried about him: he's finishing school in another month and he'll be able to concentrate full-time doing ceramic work, which is what he wanted to do anyway.

Oh well. The good news is that they like me, think I'm doing a great job, and have patted me on the back and told me to carry on as I've been going.

GIP!

I've been meaning to make this icon for ages, and I finally did it today. I expect many of you will recognize him. Expect to see him on writing-related posts for the most part. ;)
