*Stupid boss, stupid thoughtless boss.* There, that feels better. That, and i will take an aleve.
I had a cup of coffee -- 16 oz, i guess -- yesterday morning. Boy, did i feel the caffeine hit my system. I wish i could blame yesterday's headache on that , but i'd had a headache the day before.
I've made progress on some of the worst of my procrastinations outside of my work procrastination, so that's not to blame...
--==∞==--
Hours later. Headache worse. bother.
Anyhow, here's a work procrastination:

Please fill out this survey so I can get to know you better. Old friends, fill it out too! Even if I know you well, I may find out something about you I never knew. Feel free to spread this around so we can all get to know each other. If there is a question you don't want to or don't know how to answer, just tell me something else instead.
Name: Elaine is my middle name. Grey is not my last name.
Preferred gender pronoun: she/her.
Birthday: 2 March (Yeah, it's a security question, but it's so pervasive leaked before that was an issue)
Where do you live and/or time zone: I live in UTC-7 during summer, UTC-8 when the clocks fall back, and i'm often called to work during the headquarter timezone of UTC-4/UTC-5.
What are you studying/What are you working as: For the past three months -- maybe a little longer -- i've been learning as much as i can about California wildflowers. My work is sending emails and attending meetings in support of my tech team's programming work developing the identity management modules of a "software as a service" enterprise application for libraries.
What makes you happy/hobbies: I don't pay attention to happy, so much. I've many hobbies: plants gowing on our deck and other places, fiber activities -- dying, crocheting, "knooking" (a knitting variant) -- photography, other paper arts (although not recently), reading.....
An interesting fact about you: A useful fact is that i'm introverted and have a large energy barrier to overcome to interact with people. I like people, but the energy issue really keeps me to the sideline.
Are you in love/have a crush at the moment? Haven't had a crush in a rather long while. I adore Christine .
Favorite place to be: "field work" out and collecting photos or other experiences, and then analysis/research - -which mostly means in front of my computer.
A word to describe yourself: Quaker
FANDOM. Not so much
PLUS
One thing you like about LJ/DW: The ease with which i have been able to find people willing to share their lives and reflections with me.
Two things you like about yourself: i continue to grow and change, and as i do i feel i can help others more.
What House in Hogwarts are you in/would you be in? no idea. Tell me.
