7. By an employer or someone else?
I do admit to sneaking into the public library Monday to send a few work-related e-mails, but that's all I did there.

9. Yeah, the boss. He lives in a different world than I.
My experience this week is getting a confidence that Kerry will take Ohio. That is half of this struggle and really did raise my spirits. Five days to go!!!

Are we going to go to DC for the inauguration?

6. Lucky you
I feel like sometimes I wish I didn't have a tv, telephone or computer. My telephone rings all day.

11. Just a little break
The weather was gorgeous and we spent many wonderful hours hiking in the woods. Yesterday, we went on a cave tour.

Unplug. You really have the power and certainly deserve to do so after the election.

12. AAARRRGHHH!
Thankyouverymuch, proles. :grr:

Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, back to reality

However do you want me
However do you need me
However do you want me (However)
However do you need me (Do you need me now)

However do you want me
However do you need me
However do you want me
However do you need me

Back to life, back to the present time
Back from a fantasy, yes
Tell me now, take the initiative
Gon' leave it in your hands until you're ready

However do you want me
However do you need me (How)
However do you want me (All that I have you-you-you-you-you-you)
However do you need me

However do you want me
However do you need me (However)
However do you want me
However do you need me

However do you need me
However do you need me
However do you need me
However do you need me

I live at the top of the block
No more room for trouble or fuss
Need a change, a positive change look
Look it's me writing on the wall

However do you want me
However do you need me
However do you want me
However do you need me

However do you want me
However do you need me
However do you want me
However do you need me

Back to life, back to the day we had
Let's end this foolish game
Hear me out don't let me waste away
Make up your mind so I know where I stand

However do you want me
However do you need me (How)
However do you want me
However do you need me

15. How sweet!
Thanks! :hi:

How are things in your world? Sometimes I feel guilty about being so deliriously happy right now. I guess that Catholic training sticks with you even after you've long since given up religion.

16. Things are going OK, all things considered, in my world.
Gotta take the crunchy with the smooth and all. No need to feel guilty.

17. It went quite well
Thanks for remembering and asking. I met them separately. His mom was really sweet and his surrogate stepdad was quite interesting.

I guess I could have left yesterday to avoid that, but spending another night was certainly more fun.
