Countdown
In 
another 124 hours, I will be leaving on my longest work trip to date. 42 meetings and workshops spread over 8 days. Woohoo. Just think of all the miles I'm going to rack up on my Krisflyer card. Free tickets, here I come!
Oh before I forget, all fans of "Desperate Housewives" MUST go to the official website if you've been watching the show in Singapore and read the recaps. It's censored! And Monday's episode had 2 fairly interesting bits that were cut out. If you don't want to see anything else besides the recap for Monday, and you will if you click on the main page, then click here.
That was my good deed for the day. Now I can go back to being my normal bitchy self. Heh.
So many errands to run, so little lunch hours to do it. My to-do list has 35 things on it and so far I've only crossed out 17. Hey, I'm almost half-way there! Of course, you could point out that instead of wasting time writing a to-do list and updating it every so often, I could have done more important stuff. And of course, in the time it took to blog this I could have crossed off maybe 1 item. But hey, give a girl a break. I'm cranky and tired from taking my laptop home almost every night this week to catch up on work that I honestly should have done weeks ago. Yeah yeah, procrastination bites you in the ass and when it does it hurts like a bitch.
(Chances are though that I won't learn this lesson and sometime in the near future I will be bitching about this topic again.)
Time to reopen my to-do list and try to tackle more of it. In the meantime, more math for you: If it was 387 mails on May 6, and 467 as of today what does that mean?
Addendum: Jokes of the day
A guy gets on a plane and finds himself seated next to a cute blonde. He immediately turns to her and makes his move.
"You know," he says,"I've heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger. So let's talk."
The blonde, who had just opened her book, closes it slowly and says to the guy, "What would you like to discuss?"
"Oh, I don't know,"says the guy. "How about nuclear power?"
"OK," says the blonde. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff--grass. Yet the deer excretes little pellets, the cow turns out a flat patty, and the horse produces muffins of dried poop. Why do you suppose that is?"
The guy is dumbfounded. Finally he replies, "I haven't the slightest idea."
"So tell me," says the blonde, "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?
The Internal Revenue Service sent an auditor to a synagogue. As the auditor reviews all the paperwork, he turns to the rabbi and says, "I noticed that you buy a lot of candles."
"Yes, we do," responded the rabbi.
"Well, Rabbi, what do you do with the candle drippings?" he asked.
"A good question," noted the rabbi. "We actually save them up and when we
have enough, we send them back to the candle maker and every now and
then, they send us a free box of candles."
"Oh," replied the auditor somewhat disappointed that his unusual question
actually had a practical answer. "Rabbi, what about all these matzo purchases? What do you do with all the crumbs from the matzo?"
"Ah, yes," replied the rabbi calmly. "We actually collect up all the crumbs
from the matzo and when we have enough, we send them in a box back to
the manufacturer and every now and then they send us a box of matzo balls."
"Oh," replied the auditor, thinking hard how he could fluster the rabbi.
"Well, Rabbi," he continued, "what do you do with all the foreskins from the circumcisions?"
"Yes, here too, we do not waste." The rabbi answered. "What we do is save up
all the foreskins, and when we have enough we actually send them to the Internal Revenue Service."
"Internal Revenue?" questioned the auditor in disbelief.
"Ah, yes," replied the rabbi, "Internal Revenue. And about once a year, they send us a little prick like you."
