getting there...

Not sure how much time I actually saved by working at home, but at least I was able to work till all hours in (on?) the comfort of my own couch.

1 section still to do, images to update, grrr. But I think we'll be OK... managed to scare the wits out of the writer doing the referencing by my new version of the storyboard she'd been working on all day. I only had to repeat about 6 times that I hadn't touched the section she'd been working on and she could just replace it with hers before it sank in. /snark

And a lunch-related riddle:

Q What's the opposite of "elegant"?
A "Meatball sub".

Yummy, but it got absolutely everywhere.

It's back to rainy and cold, and I have a sore throat. Poor, poor me.

In happy news...

Gia, who sits next to me, is pregnant (they just found out on the weekend). Due around Christmas. This is cool.

(I was going to post something that just made me laugh but it just sounds silly out of context, so too bad for you. But Steve is selling frozen cookie dough... mmmmm.)

randomness

RIP Nina Simone. I'm embarrassed to say that she's another person I had assumed was already dead. (scratch confused ramblings about the implications of this) Damn. Just... damn. A great loss.

On an entirely different note, while I appreciate that complaining about anything the New York Post does is pretty much a complete waste of energy (I mean, they're running a banner ad saying "Get the Deck of Death! Get Saddam!" even as I type), I was amused when their criticism of Fidel filtered back to me... well, you can read the whole story on the company site if you wish. In an "any publicity is good publicity" note, their store is 5 doors down from my office, and I was quite tempted to run over and buy a T-shirt this morning. However, I see they've been busy making marketing hay out of the situation, so I can resist.

small, tightly controlled editing rant

Actually, yes, it does matter whether you put "corticosteroid" or some other drug name entirely on the label of the bottle in this image. Why? Because the drug regimen being studied — as I think is made perfectly clear in the script — had a corticosteroid as one of the components. The drug whose name you chose to put in this image is utterly irrelevant to this page.

Really, it's not that complicated.
