Really exhausted, not too many linketies tonight. Tomorrow's going to be a long day; 12 hour shift to provide some extra coverage while part of the office is out at an organizational meeting. No ride in, and likely no carpool home, so that'll be a 15 hour day, all told. Ouch. On the positive side, I has pastries from Farkas to take in with me. Best Lemon Bars Ever.
