done

Whew. I'm off the hook until tomorrow when I get back on the same hook. Ugh.

I rode home on a bus that is nearly two hours behind my regular one. It was crowded - standing room only for a part of the ride. I sat next to an older guy talking to another older guy in the next seat in Spanish.

Why do people who speak languages I don't understand feel the need for speed? I want to tell them to slow down, I won't understand it even slowly so there's no need to rush. These guys were blahdy blah blah (or the Spanish equivalent) with just enough English to make me listen. Blahdy blah four-forty, blah, blah... Blah next Tuesday blady blah. There's a slim chance that if they were speaking French I could pull out the odd mot or deux but pretty much only if they were talking about the pen of my aunt.

It did make me think of my LJ friends mindme and vetch and Jason Stone who hear languages they can't readily translate every day every where they go.

I have a sty in the same eye that wears my contact lens. It is very very tired and sore after having to focus so intensely for so long today. This morning I had to pry my eye open to even get the lens in. I think it's a little better but still sore. Stys are better than a broken arm but still very annoying.

When we finally do get moved into our new building I will have a new office mate. Her name is Kathy and she told me today that she is leaving in January. So she will be my office mate for about a month.

Oh and a bit of fun Mom news. When she first went into the hospital last August, they screwed with her medicine and whatever they did made her hands shake so badly that she hasn't been able to write or even hold a pen and for a while she could hardly feed herself. It was very frustrating for her and depressing. Her doctor has been dicking around with the medications and this morning she did the crossword puzzle!!!! She was so excited she could hardly stand it.
