Good thing I stayed home from work today...

When I got up this morning I made sure I checked in on lady_curmudgeon, who hasn't been feeling well for the last six days or so. She was feeling worse this morning and asked that I stay home to take care of her. I called in, spoke with my boss and got permission to skip work for the day.

Jeeze, I hope she gets better. I was wondering if she was reserved during the con for a reason or if that's just how she is (I was leaning that way due to her name).

Did they give a reason for it or is it an ongoing issue?

At the risk of answering for her and putting words in her mouth (she's back in bed and resting) I am going to answer for her and put words in her mouth. The answer is "A little from column A and a little from column B." She didn't feel good so only left the room to experience con for sub-55 minute increments. Not feeling good also lead to her being a bit more quiet and bitey than she usually is when faced with social contact. On the other hand, this is her first MFF and is the first con in general that she has attended in years, so she was anxious and worried. She also worries about the opinions of my friends and people-we-have-only-just-met. [Editorial note: you're caught squarely between those two categories, so nyah.]

And then there's her general personality. As you aptly pointed out, her name does have a basis in reality! But she's a fun-loving curmudgeon, like me.

I kinda suspected that, yes. Well, hopefully I didn't come off as too much of an ass (or maybe just a fun-loving ass) or anything. It was definately fun meeting everyone.

Hopefully she'll be better in time for the next MFF.
