ARG. I'm going f-ing nuts today. It's 63 today but there is NINETY PERCENT HUMIDITY. I'm not even exaggerating. You can check weather.com. And when it gets that humid I go CRAZY. I feel like I'm suffocating and the world is pressing against me. (I'm claustrophobic, can you tell?) What the hell San Francisco, who do you think you are? Charleston ( Read more... )

I am a West Coast wussy. While I was in Boston this weekend I complained about the cold A LOT. My poor California-acclimated self couldn't handle it. Not so much because it was cold per se, but because it was windy. I do have to say though it's nice to put my heavy winter sweaters to use because otherwise they're languishing forlorn in my closet, ( Read more... )

Last week my fairy godsibling J told me this awesome quote by Mark Twain:

"The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco," which apparently he didn't actually say, but regardless, it's awesome.

My boss just sent out an e-mail detailing what articles on our website have received the highest hits. Guess who's article is number two? AND the number one article was my idea. (It was a physician written piece on mammography screening. Although I feel like I can't take all the credit because it was really God's grace. I needed another article for ( Read more... )

There have been some interesting things about getting to work today. First, there's a high of 86 today, which to my knowledge is unheard of in SF especially in April. We expect this is September and October, maybe the summer, but not spring!

Secondly, maybe I'm really self-centered but I think someone took a picture of me. There was this guy with a ( Read more... )

I obviously love San Francisco but sometimes I wish I too could have an unexpected day off not due to a natural catastrophe like, you know, an earthquake.

I think mostly I just want to wake up in the morning and feel rested.

For all you snowed in East Coasters, I hope your day is most excellent.
