Whew. Better. Beginning to recover I think. The cold struck a serious blow to my job security, I think, but c'est la vie, that is life. There's nothing I can do now, except to hope I can straighten it out over the next couple of months without screwing up again. They don't like it when you're really late, apparently. Anyway, it has been a crazy week. A lot of self-discovery, some of it not all that pleasant. I uncovered the possibility that, although I prefer to think otherwise (and operate from that assumption), there is an equally compelling body of evidence which indicates that I may be completely nuts. It is all simply a matter of perspective. Anyway, more on this at another time. I have run out of my specialized vitamin combination that keeps me in a (relatively) healthy state of mine, so I must address this need. Anyway, on to linkage, and some miscellany I found on people's pages and appropriated.

I forget exactly why I linked this site, except that it was funny. I'm not on here yet, but I should really go ahead and put my link up there.
