Wifi "iron curtain"

There is a wifi network somewhere nearby that has thefantastic name of
"Iron Curtain." Could someone at the Russian embassy possibly have
that good of a sense of humor? That would make my day.

Hiding under your desk

Is it bad that I have the reoccuring urge to hide under my desk at work. I am not cut out for this job, despite the fact that most days I am apparently fairly good at it. The entire department works on fire to fire basis. We only work on the most urgent thing, never forward planning. For something to gather enough attention to merit work, it has to be blazing out of control and going badly.

Alright, I admit: I am in a bad mood today but I am not sure how to change the tides to better. Any suggestions?

For those who wanted more Malia. . . I just wish this was more
interesting. It's awkward watching yourself.

I figured out

Mei-mei plays more and better when I watch and the toy is in the
middle of the room. Yep. She is better when she is the center of
attention. Good to know!

Without

There is a great deal to tossand turn over in my life at this moment.
And with the suitably oblique statement I will explain what I am
currently without: SLEEP. Despite being bleary eyed and heavy headed,
my mind and legs aren't getting that memo. I am anxious, for many
things, med school apps to name one. Yurhg. I just can't find that
happy moment of brain unengagement and physical comfort to rest. Pray.
Luckily I started this tossing and turning torment early so there
maybe some hours left when I finally call this day quits.
