One of my East Coast coworkers asked me if I was coming in tomorrow, and I said "Of course," and then realized what he was implying -- I should have taken some time off.
My job is stressful. It's not supposed to be, and my boss doesn't want it to be, and the basic fact is that I've re-invented the department to the delight of nearly everyone ... but another fact is that perks (like getting people to say yes to me working out of Connecticut for 2 weeks) are connected to characteristics that cause me much grief in the workplace. Even telecommuting.

Spent the evening at the Lenox Lounge in Harlem. Beers, chicken wings and great music. A man named Ron asked me to dance, but I said no, because I couldn't.
I love Harlem. I love the grit and the dirt and the jazz and the diverse people - white, black, hispanic, asian -- they are all there, all at the same time, on the subway, on the streets, helping a clueless tourist find her way home.
