How can it only be Wednesday?

I don't get it.  I was home sick on Monday, I only came in part of Tuesday, and it's only 11:00 on Wednesday.  How is that possible?  So, in honor of the week that will not quit, and having missed Tuesday's Things, here is my Wednesday whine:

  • Someone stole one of the department's new computers and my receptionist is a dipshit.  She noticed the computer missing on Monday, but didn't mention it to me until the end of yesterday.  She forgot to mention it.  A computer disappears and she forgot to mention it.  "Oh," she says, "I just thought maybe one of the professors needed it for something."  Really?  Because how often has a professor ever moved a computer?  NEVER!  So, two days after the computer was stolen, we finally call campus police who, not surprisingly, say, "It's too late to dust for prints or anything." 


  • My head is full of snot.

  • Last night while watching a movie (Persuasion with Ciaran Hinds), Flannery bit me.  Hard enough to break skin.  Go figure.  Sipporah decided to make up for it by sitting on my shoulder and cuddling me.  It was nice, until she lost her balance and slid off my back.  As she went, she reached out with her front paws and grabbed my right ear to catch herself.  I look like I've been mauled by Mike Tyson.

  • Rejection.  I has it.

On the positive side of things:

  • Watching Lost, 8 episodes in a row, and fast-forwarding through the recaps and the boring flashbacks.


  • Watching so much Lost that every time I hear a plane fly overhead, I expect to have a flashback.

  • Sock monkey pajamas.

  • Working on a new writing project.

  • Sending out more queries, because hey--hope springs eternal.

  • Staying home sick, getting stinko drunk (because liquor kills germs), and watching my favorite DVD's.

Awww, poor Redz. Can you bring bourbon to work? I could send you my travel flask. It's very helpful for stuffy heads.

Sorry to hear that Parrot Cat lost her balance (she would be outraged that you've told us!).

"liquor kills germs" - oh, man, I really should have thought of this when I was sick. ;) Hope you feel better soon.

Ahhh Persuasion. Red...Excellent taste in the movies. Hopefully Austen on screen will boost your will to live and fight those evil germs.

Oh noes! I hope the cat-inflicted injuries aren't serious. Yay for the liquor, though. Get well soon.

((((((((Hugs)))))))) yes I have heard bourbon and lemon does wonder for colds. Jeez your receptionist will be a good replacement for Puppy. lol

Feel better soon. I am so addicted to Lost.

My sympathies on the cat injuries. After dealing with aggressive Monkey-cat without a scratch, Macaroon the Menace raked my palm the other day when I was trying to pick her up off the counter and she decided at the same time to jump. Gaaaah! I keep clorhexidine gluconate around as a disinfectant. It keeps cat scratches from puffing up.

Can you get the receptionist fired? I wouldn't be surprised if she or a friend stole it. Are there cameras in the department?
Redzilla
No, she's a dipshit not a thief. I suspect that a former student worker or janitor or friend of one stole it. No cameras, so the odds catching the thief are pretty much zero.

Tequila kills germs AND viruses!

I agree with the Bourbon and Tequila statements. Killz germs viruses and dulls the pain of having preternaturally stupid coworkers. It's the ideal solution!

Between the cat and the Med Techs, you are going to look like a homeless heroin junkie. Oh, but in cute sock monkey jammies...
Redzilla
Kzinti, you're such a flatterer.

That version of Persuasion is so much better than the dreck we were subjected to on Masterpiece.
