Like the words of a song I could not forget...

I had to call someone named "Desiree" to get some information. I couldn't stop singing this song in my head afterward. Which brings us to five things that didn't suck today:

• Neil Diamond. Neil Diamond never, ever sucks. Sometimes he's not what you want or need to hear, but he never, ever sucks.
  
• The cheese plate at mandatory fun hour this afternoon. That was some good cheese. The crackers were pretty good too.
  
• Figuring out the root cause of a big problem with someone I really enjoy working with, even though the root cause essentially ended up being our collective fault. I learned something useful and I got to work with one of my favorite people. So that was good.
• Her Maj is drinking lots of water, even though she stopped eating this morning. We have an appointment with the specialist on Tuesday. Tomorrow she's getting her weekly injections which always make things better (until about Tuesday, so that all works out I think). I am dealing with all this information pretty well despite the week-long out-of-country vacation coming soon and rapid depletion of the house fund. Although I'm not sleeping much. Meh. Sleep when you die, eh?
  
• The prospect of wearing out my very generous Regal Cinema gift card I got for my birthday in prep for Oscar voting. I can't win, obviously, but it's still a competition between me and you.
