a day that ends in Y

Apparently today the copier hates everybody except possibly me. The only reason it likes me is because so far today I have figured out what's wrong with it twice, unjammed it in five places, put paper in it, put new staples in it and put new toner in it. (This is the curse of both seniority, which means I know how the copier works, and sitting in the cube closest to it.)

However, I'm hoping that was the last gasp of the rough spot I've been dealing with for the last two weeks. I think we might be on the way back to normal levels of insanity. Which would be nice, because then I might be able to keep track of what day it is. All day Tuesday I thought it was Wednesday, and yesterday I had no idea what day it was.

Speaking of levels of insanity, Snip finally got the idea that the laser pointer should be killed, but only when it's going up the wall so she can stand up and swat at it. Lily thinks it should be killed just for existing, and she gets so into killing it that she will run full tilt into Snip if Snip happens to be in the way.

This afternoon's Quest is to find my opposite number at Yale School of Medicine. I hope it's easier than finding my opposite number at Johns Hopkins; that was a Serious Quest last time I had to do it.
