I spent a good three hours this morning on the phone with various state and government functionaries in North Carolina trying to gather information necessary for conducting business there. From 0930 or so on 'til about one, when of course it's five on the east coast and they're not there to answer phones anymore. I therefore spent most of the afternoon fighting off the urge to let the lovely drawl still stuck in my head come out of my mouth. ^_^;
Cold. 'S been cold all damn day, and I apparently can't turn the heat up any higher in my office. I swear to god the building is still running A/C, never mind that it's October. And individual space heaters are a fire-hazardous no-no, so I guess I'm just stuck to freeze. Dammit all.
'Kay. Dinner. Chow mein and sesame chicken. Check. 'Nother pumpkin to carve, check. Various other projects to do, check. Proper attention to old email...? Not so likely. *sigh* Check.

They didn't *plan* to leave the AC on, you see, it's a case of men too smart to actually read the labels on the thermostat, and insisting that they turned it "on" so all the freezing little old ladies were just being post-menopausal or something, it was all in their heads. Grr...
