Back to the daily grind, I’m not looking forward to unburying. #
@RickMunday 6 days at Disney is enough. Everyone had a great time. I’m looking forward to not walking for a week. #
@ddribin After being gone for a week, I had 177 messages in my work inbox, a good 60 of them were spam that leaked through. Discouraging #
@RickMunday exactly. Actually, i’ve read everything faster than I thought, but I guess that doesn’t fully count as I worked yesterday too #
@heathernorton I can leave! And hey, I haven’t yet come to you today! Its all you coming down this way! #
Thanks to NewsGater/NetNewsWire I just read 7 days worth of tweets. I’m all caught up! And much heterosexual love to @mattlavallee #

yep, I was right, 8:30 is too early for a meeting. At least they have coffee, sweet nectar of life. And @maigrey saved me a seat up front. #
