livid

I'm more than spellcheck
it's time to find a new job
deadline: October

bleary

feeling very ill
sunshine, ice cream, and cider
a dangerous blend

Ben & Jerry's Sundae (on Saturday)

a helter skelter
sixteen different flavours
pitchers of Pimms

over Ireland

soon we'll be landing
then immigration, customs,
and my sweet husband

abandoned by the packing fairies, again...

feeling jittery
happy for the holiday
tense for the packing

out

tidying my desk,
saying my farewells, and then
leaving the office

copydeck maintenance

slowly accepting
myriad red-highlighted
long-ago-made changes

work is where the AC is

staying late isn't
such a terrible thing when
the mercury soars

what the thermometer said

politics aside,
I suppose there's something to
this global warming

hot

heavy stickiness
they say it's not the heat, it's
the humidity

"complete"

updated message
now our case goes to London
an interview soon?

Maya Lin

a mountain of wood
a "systematic landscape"
made of two-by-fours

soon

counting down the days
'til I head to Blighty and
finally see Wil

Dr. Amy Deans

what a nice surprise:
a good doctor who has a
helpful office staff

Matt

talking easily
about everything and
nothing, all night long

tired

exhausted by this
waiting, feeling like our lives
are stuck in limbo

Rita's moving day

on and off the truck
a busy elevator
good moving karma

ugly mugs

Welsh-made pottery
funny faces hand sculpted
collected by Wil

snorse

a woodland creature
light blue skin, tiny black wings
dining on truffles

sweater weather

summertime office
an arctic zone thanks to the
air conditioning

dentist

the hygienist laughs
and says "I'm the gentle one"
as she polishes

Sidekick 3

configuration
error results in the site
crashing to a halt

headbutt

only Zidane knows
just what Materazzi said
hope it was worth it

clipless pedals

this year's first bike ride
nearly falling while waiting
at the first stoplight

quarterly review

writing the same old
platitudes; like counting each
word in an essay

blah

listless, bored, blue,
complete lack of energy
is it the weather?

Portugal loses

dirty play, that wink...
Ronaldo's going home, his
diving days are done

Germany loses

they had become my
team of choice, playing cleanly
and honorably

fireworks tomorrow

reminders that this
separation is just a
quirk of history

1-0

even angrier
at / about Rooney, after
Brazil's loss to France

England out

"Que será, será"
sing the terraces; going
out on penalties
