I so get bonus points for today. A line of severe thunderstorms rolled in at 6 a.m., so that was it for sleeping, and at about 2 p.m. I hit the mental end of my workday. But then my supervisor let me know about a networking event in the city in the evening, and I went. For three and a half hours. I kept making myself stay each time the people I was talking with changed and it would have been easy to take my leave. Socializing is easier when I'm tired than it is when I'm awake, and also easier when I'm tired than mental work is, so that was all right, but still. Standing, etc. Got back and had dinner at almost 10. Sorry to those to whom I owe a comment or email.

Oh, and the other line of severe thunderstorms loomed at about 5 p.m., while I was walking to the Metro. Those bubble-wrap-looking undersides were back, interspersed with weird right angles as up- and downdrafts must have whipped the clouds' moisture around. The rounded features moved just like a pot of water at a rolling boil, only in slow motion. Never seen anything like it outside of TV.

In conclusion: Zygote.

Oh, I've seen that "boiling sky" thing a few times. It's pretty freaky looking, isn't it? I've noticed it tends to coincide with tornadoes, or at least with tornado watches/warnings.

I was out being social and networking tonight, too. And no, it isn't particularly easy, so I'm really proud of you for staying with it. I know what that takes.

Oh, wow, total bonus points. I hate those things; I end up standing in a corner stuffing my face with finger food. Good for you!

There weren't even any snacks! What's up with that, I ask you?

ETA: On the bright side, dream last night with House and Foreman. Not doing anything House/Foremany, but Foreman had tuberous sclerosis or something, and House had a problem where he couldn't keep things in his head long enough to finish tasks, so he couldn't remember to take Foreman's tissue sample out of the room, let alone run the right tests.

♥ Thanks.

It was freaky and beautiful! I wish I'd had my camera. If I hadn't had to be somewhere, I could have stood there under the glass Metro awning and watched for a while longer.

Go you for doing the mingling thing!

And yay, Zygote! *grin* I am so glad you enjoyed it. It is still making me giggle.
