What, me worry?

Dalai Lama quote for the day: If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.

I try to live by those words. Like with the job thing. What will happen, will happen. I'm doing what I can, and the rest is out of my hands, right? (and yet I still have that nagging voice in my head saying 'yeah, but...')

I forgot to mention Charlie lost one of top front teeth on Friday. Tooth Fairy brought him a silver dollar. You know, the whole Tooth Fairy tradition is so odd, isn't it - it so obviously stems from some ancient folkloric belief about someone using one's body parts for magic or something. I wonder how paying for it negates it. I need to research that.

My cat is doing much better, by the way. He has a thyroid problem. The antibiotics seem to be clearing up whatever infection he had, and he is much more cheerful and lively, as evidenced by the strip of skin he took off my hand when I gave him his medicine this morning.

The snack food machine in the office is broken. Someone put a sign on it to let folks know this is the case. They wrote, "The machine is broke". That really annoys me. I crossed off 'broke' and wrote 'broken'. That was snotty of me, wasn't it? Tough. These are grown people who ought to know the difference between 'broke' and 'broken'.

Right. Back to work.
