I’ve been huddled beneath my desk in the fetal position all day. ---

I was seriously starting to twitch! I may not post often, but I’m reading all the time… That was scarrry! ---

I was sobbing hysterically and could not be comforted. Okay, maybe not. Maybe I actually got some work done. ---

That was a complete “In space no one can hear you scream.” moment. I have been chewing on my own knee all day. Phew. Glad it’s back. ---

You’d think that I would have gotten a ton of work done today, not having my usual distraction. Here’s how my day actually went: [Work for 30 seconds] [Check to see if SDMB is back] “DAMN!” [Repeat above] It’s hard to get any work done when you’re interrupted every 30 seconds… –FCOD ---

I went the whole weekend posting only minimally, when I had time. No problem. But work is sloooooooooow in the summertime, and yes, i was pretty twitchy all day. And now it’s time for me to go home. ---

I noticed the temporary demise of the boards seemed to coincide with a decided lack of chocolate Love Offerings sent to me. Coincidence? Certainly something affected the cosmic balance… :eek: It’s not gonna work, is it? ---

Our power went out for about an hour this afternoon. During that time the dog paced back and forth; laid down, got up and then did it again; kept looking out the window; and got very clingy with me and the kids. I know just how he felt. ---

I was downright petulant all day. Fortunately, one of the notifications in my inbox contained a link to a bajillion pictures of \*\*Hal Briston’s \*\* cats, so I looked at all of those very intently. I feel like I know Boo personally now. 🙂 ---

The google ads are for vicodin and addiction help. ROFLMAO!!! That’s just too funny. I got a lot of stuff done at work. If this had gone on one more day, I might have cleaned my office. I hate to think what kind of universal havoc _that_ would have caused. I think most of my staff was thinking, “why does he have so much more time than usual today to bug us about stuff.” 😃 ---
