twirlgrrlWell, howdy, everybody! I have a bunch of new LJ friends, thanks to the fabulous and amazing ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
slinksgirl, and I should be writing a bunch of dazzling new entries to welcome everyone to my super cool LJ, but I am BEE-HEE-HEE-HEEAT. I am so tired that I feel like I'm walking uphill with every step, and it makes me weepy.
This morning I had a meeting in Santa Cruz (1.5 hours away) and I was up at 5am preparing for it. When I got to the meeting and passed out the agenda packets, this one doctor totally bitched me out in front of everyone because I had pressed the wrong button on the copier without noticing and not only were the copies single-sided instead of double-sided, but the machine had inserted an entire blank piece of paper in between each page. So instead of 6 pages long the agenda was 24 pages long. The doctor didn't stop talking when I said it was a mistake--nooo, he gave the whole room a giant lecture on how reducing and reusing was even more important than recycling because recycling uses so much energy and blah blah blah, and OMG it was all I could do not to dissolve into tears at the table. I wanted to explain how the mistake got made and apologize more and explain how I've been cutting the agenda down to a smaller size every month and how ecogroovy I normally am and that I taught a bunch of my friends how to recycle back in the day and how much I care about the planet and how I'm a dirty tree-hugging hippie but of course that would have been silly. So I just sat there feeling stupid while he went on and on and on. Awesome.
Of course I pulled it together and the rest of the meeting went great but yeah, I need a nap. Hope you are all having a better and more energetic day than I am.
