Hoo Boy...One of those days...

So, I've had this headache that I just can't shake. It started Saturday while we were in Bratislava and I haven't quite been able to get rid of it. It's always there, right behind my eyes. Oddly enough my throat aches too - not sore, just achy - like my head. As a result, today at work was problematic. I mean, we're in a forced air, florescent light laden tower. Not good - so I skipped the opera tonight (sorry guys!) and came home to lay down for a bit. After 3 bottles of water and 4 cups of tea, I still have the headache, but it's not as glaring. So...then...

Given that I was functionally computer illiterate this morning, I spent 3 hours fighting with Microsoft Word trying to get it to do what I wanted it to do. My computer kept freezing up and I'd have to shut it down and bring it back up...a good time, for certain. So, I finally get it all worked out. Done, right? Nope! Victoria (aw, dear girl - you asked for it! Hee Hee!) was adding her cases to the same table. I stop in her offices and the dialog went something like this:

Victoria: Um, I think I have some bad news. You might be upset (or something to that effect)
Me: Uh-Oh...what happened? Did you delete my table or something?
Victoria: (laughing somewhat nervously) Actually...

Oh my...it was one of those moments that was so laden with irony that I couldn't HELP laughing. To be fair, it wasn't as if it was intentional - Word is the devil (perhaps now she'll agree with me!). When she was inserting her cases, it was copying OVER mine instead of inserting them. So when she saved...yep. Bye-bye cases! She sorted it out though. It was a moment of the ultimate "WHAT?" I'm sure I had that look of someone that isn't sure if the other person is joking or something - maybe like stunned amusement. As Victoria said: "Now you're going to go blog about it aren't you!? You'll be all - she didn't work all day because she was at the Working Group and then came back and deleted all my work!" THAT is a direct quote. I can laugh about it - because it really is damn funny when you think about it. Imagine this going on in your head...and you'll realize why I think this is so darn funny.

I'm loving SkypeIn - I've talked to most of my friends that I haven't talked to in months. Such fun! I talked to Dad tonight and had a good laugh over some old family stories.
