01:54pm: Feeling almost human after a shaky start. Good. Phew.
01:58pm: @Zoonie Nothing that ibuprofen and caffeine couldn’t cure!
02:01pm: To prevent further concerned queries: I AM FINE. Note to self: Don’t allude to feeling peaky on Twitter or people will think the worst :)
02:22pm: @abscond Are you OK?
03:42pm: @revdancatt Or at least have half-day-closing on Wednesdays.
08:10pm: @revdancatt Ha, folks in the office today were saying that stubbornness was all that’s required to win Tiny Tower too. Last one standing.
08:13pm: @revdancatt Likewise. It sounds like it’s all grinding of one kind or another, and no way to do it faster than anyone else.
08:33pm: @benhammersley Travelodge again?
08:43pm: What’s this “Webpages are not responding … all webpages in other tabs and windows must be force reloaded.” in Safari? Keeps happening. Grrr.
08:46pm: @alanconnor I liked his drawing style too. And some of his other cartoons are lovely too: http://t.co/eIaEI2V
08:51pm: @ethermole That sounds awesome! I’m so glad they improved Safari so much in Lion! Yes!
08:59pm: @alanconnor Yes. I loved the Bart t-shirt, and the “casket size” for some reason.
