Someone earlier posted a link about using it for bags under the eyes. It said Preparation H is a powerful vasoconstrictor.

Usually I go on a murderous rampage. After about a week, I feel much better, much more calm.

I'm annoyed at the fact that I've had the trots the last two nights.

Apparently it's a side effect of my 'condition' atm. Never happened before. I guess this one is going to be 'special'.

This crazy gnat that is stalking me. (I was just informed after several years that someone from another state is trying to find out where I am through myspace mailing) Unfortunately my myspace was not set to private, and this person probably knows which state I am in now, and now I have had to change the account to indicate a different state and drop hints that I am in the process of moving. That's greeeat.

Why are people so insane sometimes? What kind of loser seeks people of long ago out to try and be vindictive? Especially when the alleged slight was another crazy hallucination?

Everyone and everything, due to lack of sleep.
And Mondays are always my busiest day as more artists are in than on any other day. And they all believe that all I do is sit and wait for them to need something.

Example.
Chris is on the phone to a supplier. I don't think about it one way or the other (except she has been mithering me re getting an order number and the order book has not been replaced by the last person who used it and her guess is as good as mine as to where it is)

I've just stood up to go to the toilet and she calls across the office - "I need the company credit card!"

So if I'd been 30 seconds faster, what would she have done? I come back, unlock the safe and get it out for her. But honestly - she knew she was placing an order. She knew she was calling a company we didn't have an account with. So how come she waits until they ask for card details to get the card from me?

Because they are used to dealing with me by phone. And that gets an instant response. So they expect it's the same in person.

Grumble, grumble, grumble. I hate Mondays.

I'm with you, girlfriend. This is an especially hairy Monday because it is my designated counseling day and payment due date for fall. This means I will hear a lot of "I filled out the paperwork yesterday...you should have it. What takes you so long? I'm the only student here, aren't I? You people suck and are trying to ruin my life. My dead dog is rotting in the backyard because I can't afford to buy a shovel to bury him. That's your fault. I popped out sixteen kids because I didn't understand the concept of birth control and that's your fault too. They're turning off my electric and I find your school to be at fault there. Them applications is hard, I can't figure it out but I am trainin' to be a rocket science person..." and various combinations and variations of the above.

Anyway, there was a little yellow butterfly in my car this a.m. The wind from the window I can't close was whipping him around, and I told him he should fly out. I was worried about him. So he flies over and lands on my shirt and I drove the rest of the way to work with him there. I considered it a good luck sign for the day.

That does sound like good luck!
I predict it is a symbol for something mundane and perhaps even slightly ugly coming to beautiful fruition.

Or maybe you should just get a butterfly tattoo on the way home.

I will use my standby phrase for the tattoo: That'd be like scribbling on the Mona Lisa.

I bought a wireless keyboard & mouse from Logitech for our home PC.

I liked it enough that I picked one up for my desk at work, and our server room as well.

The KVM switch in our server room flips back and forth using the scroll lock key.

The keyboard not only does not have a scroll lock key, you can't program one using the four blank, programmable function keys.

* KVM = Keyboard Video Mouse. Lets you take one set of k, v, and m and hook them up to multiple computers and swap back and forth.
