I am overcome with excitement. Wait, no...no...that's not excitement, that's... apprehension. Because today is a Day of Improvement. *shudder* I really, really hope though that this is one of those things where they make us sit in a huge hall and listen to somebody Improve us, rather than split us off into groups and make us Participate in our Own Improvement. Because that's just not right! But yes, the morning will be filled with Productivity and Time Management! Hurrah! And the afternoon in giving our Right Brain it's Turn! Which brings to mind experiments and labs and jars and it is LuthorCorp so I'm not ruling it out. Be wary if I come back with witty slogans and extra perk, it means I've been brainwashed.

Also, it's not helping matters that it's being held at a hotel that's further away from my home than work. Which means I have to leave the house earlier. But I'm still sleepy! I don't wanna leave early! And I will be with only the most fleeting touches of your company all day. But remember! If you do need me, I'll get back to you eventually! To make up for the fact that I have to go to this thing, they are providing us, at 'check-in' (CHECK-IN! It's totally some sort of psychological experiment we're entering into! I'm not signing any forms, I'm telling you that!) is 'coffee and Danish'. Yes. Exactly like that. So I expect my morning shall be spent sipping the beloved brew while listening to some Scandanvian folklore. And...wait...that's probably much better than the alternative.

Lastly, I have a sore throat. It was bugging me two days ago but went away before it got severe. This morning it is pain. I drank lots of juice and I hope it goes away soon.

Wait, that wasn't lastly. This is lastly. I dreamt last night that I got an email from somebody who composed a little song about how much they loved me. At the time I thought it was odd that they did so using a nickname of mine they didn't know, but I figured it just scanned well. And I was all happy and glowy and like, oh that's so SWEET. I woke up and thought, "ohh, nice, I'm so glad they did that. I was all warm and fuzzy and beaming". Then I fell back asleep and woke up a while later and was like "Oh, darn it, I keep waking up. But at least I got that email!" Then I realized that, um, I hadn't gotten out of bed yet, so how did I know I had an email? Because I was convinced it happened. I had to tell myself 'swmbo, just because you are generally able to get your email from anywhere doesn't mean that you can download it directly into your brain while you sleep...yet.' *cries* And when I did finally get up this morning and it wasn't there? I was desolate. *sniff* I miss it and I only remember a little bit of it.

Anyway, I need to get dressed and go off to be brainwashed. I'll be slow at responding to posts, coments and emails but it WILL happen today. I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Ack!

My website is down for no known reason! Which means I can't email, including comment notification. Which means I can't actually *respond* to comments yet, because the 'dropdown' comment notification boxes uses scripting that the phone browser does not support. I am practically out of touch!

Also, the speaker is peppy *shudder* And his name is Greg. And his wife's name is Marsha. Which is totally giving me Brady Bunch issues.

I am surviving somehow! I luff you guys. Make my site come back up! I left them a voicemail but of course I can't hang on the phone *or* send an email. Am grumpy.

*loves* But I have a *fourth* cup of coffee and a cheese danish.

I think the full magnitude of the horror I experienced today can be summed up by one simple event - the final one.

At the end of the day, each table had to make up a song, set to a children's tune, about the things we had learned from the day.

We then stand up as a group and sing it.

I rest my case. I plan to have nightmares.

I might be able to talk more about it later. Maybe. Or I might just have to go jump to my doom.
