Please no talking plants or animals.
While I do not really know what to say about the hurricane, I feel like I should say something. So, check out the flogging it's getting at Salon. Or donate money or something.
I will also say that it's unfortunate for Bush that he can't sling his arm around a uniformed public servant of some kind and vow vengeance on Katrina through a megaphone. People might not be noticing his complete incompetence if he could do that. While a lot of bloggers seem pretty upset over his reaction, I can honestly say I've lost all ability to gauge how a president's doing. Who am I to know when to cut short a vacation in Crawford? Who am I to tell whether a person's speech is sensical or grammatical? I'm not even kidding about that; everyone's been pretending for so long that he's not an incompetent, incoherent boob that the idea occurs to me as if it's new each time I see or hear him talking. I'm like - hey, that didn't make sense... that's weird...
Last weekend, when I went home to see most of my dear family, my dear brother got my dad and me sick. So I was sick for my first day of my new job. And went home after an hour. I'm already very popular.
So, I do have a job (yea!) and all that entails; no more whiling away 8 hours at a time on mini-quilts or knitted projects or whathaveyou, we get to go to the dentist, I get to get new lenses and maybe even contacts. I have to actually use Excel.
I did go back on Friday and work every hour that I was supposed to work, and didn't screw anything up. I also got to meet the Office Beagle, and rescued him from the fire drill. So I guess it's looking pretty good on that front.
I'm feeling a little better now, too, although I still have no appetite whatsoever and my throat still feels like it's about the width of a coffee stirrer. And hurts. Hopefully, though, I can ride this lack of appetite right down into a size 2!
