Today was the first *really* warm day of the year in my area, so it was just my luck to be working on what should have been my day off, and to make things worse, be tied to my desk for most of the day. I did have a fairly productive time of it, though ;)

Hopefully I won't feel too tired during the day and will be able to survive the overtime shift I'm working tonight...

Just dropped my ConFuzzled commemorative mug on the kitchen floor, spilling coffee and sugar all over the place and smashing the mug into a large amount of many-splintered pieces :/
