i have successfully survived a week without coworker d at work! go me. nothing went missing, i didn't print anything on the wrong letterhead, i knew what i was doing (mostly), i didn't get totally swamped. altho! the color copy machine near my desk went down TWICE, necessitating a lot of bitching, moaning, whining, complaining, and running up and down the stairs. the copy machines in that place give me nothing but grief, i swear.
also i got to spend a lot of time in air conditioned offices and FRIGID buses. oh my god, those buses, seriously. i know i shouldn't complain about the cold air - it has been so god damned hot and humid - but it was like riding in a freezer. and i'm not a bag of peas.
because it's so brutally hot, i decided now would be a fabulous time to cook my beets. >.< now i'm just waiting for them to cool enough for me to rub the skins off, and then i have to decide what else to do with them. maybe a little marinade, i don't know. i've determined that i'm too lazy to bother shredding them for borscht. and i still have two zucchini to make into muffins. in the heat. bleh. on the other hand, zucchini muffins. which, you know, yum.
i got two entirely random compliments on my tattoo on the t tonight, in the space of like five minutes. i may or may not have preened inwardly a little.

my god, it's hot. i might have to leave the house and find myself some a/c.
