madrobins• Overheard at Starbucks today: "I can't afford to be bi-polar."
• Also overheard: a fascinating conversation between a supervisor and one of her office workers. What I gathered was that Office Worker A had had an affair with another Office Worker B and, after said affair ended, Office Worker B had taken to sniping at OW-A until he stopped talking to her, to the detriment of office morale and productivity. I was impressed by the supervisor's firmness and sympathy (and her clear intention to keep this guy on the payroll because he was a good worker, if he and OW-B could just work it all out) and good humor.
• I got 1000 words written, plus 1000 words or so of prior writing transcribed. Also got my eyes examined and took Her Nibs The Royal Emily to the park. Also got a massage.
• I note that when I get a massage my nose gets stuffy. Immediately afterward everything unclogs. I'm sure there's a reason for this, but I don't know what it is.
• No matter that I'm 3000 miles away: my darling family members must send me texts and call me to complain or explain about life and each other. Even when I suggest that they might want to talk to each other... Nah.
