Faceplant

My coworkers (as well as the temp in the area) are in agreement. It would apparently be very, very funny if I faceplanted into my keyboard, breaking my nose and deleting all my files. Can you feel the love from my office coming through the monitor and into your heart? I think so. I'm just so tired right now. I could not sleep last night. Lots of weird thoughts and all. And then that bad, bad cat DKE went completely mad. She just decided to jump at shadows and run back and forth the length of the apartment as fast as her little kitty legs would allow. Loudly. While good cat Nani and I just scowled at her. So I am rather useless today. Which is fine. As I have already had my review. So who cares? Yes.

My parents called this morning. To chat. From Florida. Where they were waiting for a drawbridge to rise or lower or whatever. Good times. They're off touring around and having a blast. Though Dad does agree that I'm an excellent navigator and he wished I were there. So sweet. He and I will kick some butt when we finally make it on to The Amazing Race. I hope. We have our tape ready. We made it back in September. I think we should remake it in December if we don't have to submit it before then. We both acted kind of dorky and got into a little argument about whether or not I live on Long Island. I mean, I guess, technically Brooklyn is on Long Island but I live in Brooklyn, not Long Island. So, this little debate is captured on tape. As is Dad telling the camera what a great navigator and traveler I am. But lately they've been having worse and worse travelers on and the casting team seems fond of people who CAN'T read maps so I don't think he should play me up like that. Ah well. We'll see. Mom thought it was cute.

Anyway, they're having a blast seeing friends and going to Busch Gardens and all. And soon will be going to EPCOT. Without me. Which makes me sad. But Mom says it's better to be young and young and young than old and retired and able to get away for Florida vacations. Though Dad isn't retired yet. Just a pilot with a fun pilot schedule. Though this trip isn't nearly as bad as when they went to China with me. Why do people keep going on fun trips without me. I might start to get a complex if this keeps up.
