This can usually be found on Twitter.

So, there ends the weekend which was not a weekend. As a way to start the next week, I woke up (after re-sleeping, then having a really weird dream about packing to return to Singapore - from Manek? - and, later, two charging elephants) - I wake up at 10:45, which is pretty much the earliest I can wake up and not have time for breakfast.

As an aside, in case you are not one with the Twitter, the weekend which was not a weekend was not a weekend because of a illness which struck me down pretty much exactly on Friday evening, then let go of me around Monday ("three day weekend") afternoon. Extraordinarily boring, and - initially - somewhat painful, but there you go. My upsides are still clogged with goo - ugh! - but everything's a whole lot better than it was, and I expect all symptoms to vanish (except maybe for mornings) by tomorrow or the day after.

The other reason for making this post - apart from solidifying much anti-rhinovirus rhetoric and complaining about a lack of breakfast options today - was to make a mental note of how disturbing - both in language and deed - are these two very disturbing (but completely unrelated) cases. So much for right-to-speech (as always, subsection 2 bites us where the sun don't shine).

On a cheerier note: there have been some fantastic LOLcats on ICHCB lately. Including: that is not right, Right around the next corner NO NOT LIKE THAT NO STOP, (average) *Caught*, Oh my, the religious cameleopard, and - the pièce de résistance - Cat in repose in other's bed.

Let's hope things pep up at work somewhat. Otherwise: another day, another week! Luckily, a shorter one than usual.
