i'd forgotten what a pain in the butt it is to access the value of the current selection in a dropdown in netscrap until i did this server switch for Jill. had to look back at wizard's duel.

trying to keep myself occupied leads to a new desk arrangement. Just started reading The Western Guide to Feng Shui, we'll see how that goes.

i heard Gregory Fenves last night on npr. i was relieved to hear him speak, it bolstered my denial system by giving me technical details to focus on. how do people deal with stuff like this? denial gets you through some of it, concentrating on the actions which must be performed now by leaving the emotional baggage for later. but then innocent little words like ‘baggage’ bring it all flooding in. so then what? you talk to people, anyone you can find. your roommate, your co-workers before you get sent home, people on instant messenger, email, greymatter blogs, and then are left to carry on, sorely wishing your girlfriend wasn’t visiting LA for the week.
