“Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.” ~George Washington

Bruce Wayne: Why didn't you just... kill me?
Bane: You don't fear death... You welcome it. Your punishment must be more severe.
Bruce Wayne: Torture?
Bane: Yes. But not of your body... Of your soul.
Bruce Wayne: Where am I?
Bane: Home, where I learned the truth about despair, as will you. There's a reason why this prison is the worst hell on earth... Hope. Every man who has ventured here over the centuries has looked up to the light and imagined climbing to freedom. So easy... So simple... And like shipwrecked men turning to sea water from uncontrollable thirst, many have died trying. I learned here that there can be no true despair without hope. So, as I terrorize Gotham, I will feed its people hope to poison their souls. I will let them believe they can survive so that you can watch them clamoring over each other to "stay in the sun." You can watch me torture an entire city and when you have truly understood the depth of your failure, we will fulfill Ra's al Ghul's destiny... We will destroy Gotham and then, when it is done and Gotham is ashes, then you have my permission to die.

(Bruce Wayne [Batman] & Bane - The Dark Knight Rises)
(Have I mentioned how much I _LOVE_ Bane? I _LOVE_ him!)

I swear sometimes people have their ears plugged when they call me at work. I just spoke with someone for several minutes who could not understand that the business I work for did not send him the package he was calling about. He even asked me if I know the web sites of other companies with the same name as my company. Jeepers. How would I know all the my businesses in the world? Most of them aren't even in the same _industry_ as my business!  (For the record - I don't mind when people ask if we have other branches, but I've had many people not believe me that we're not all connected!)

Speaking of work - we've had some policy changes that are pissing off the Bully. _smirk_  We're now required to use a time-clock, and for our "working hours" to be during business hours, oh, and there is no working from home anymore. None of the changes really effect me, but it's nice to finally have them all spelled out. Also, my boss is looking into changing my hours! I'd have a shorter lunch, and get to leave a half hour earlier! I'd _LOVE_ that change!

Sawyer's birthday is today! We'll finally be 29 together. His parents may come for a visit on Sunday. I'm not really in the mood for visitors, but I can't complain that nobody visits and then complain when someone _does_ visit, so I'm keeping my mouth shut. I have to wrap Sawyer's gifts. I was just going to put them in a gift bag, but he asked me to wrap them, so I'll do that tonight. One of his gifts only shipped yesterday, so I doubt that will be here by today. I'm also making pizza for dinner. (I was going to make some Pillsbury Cinnamon rolls this morning, but I overslept. _pout_) I'm also baking him some cupcakes (Cherry Coke Cupcakes - if they're any good I'll post the recipe). I'll bake those on Saturday.

I've been having some pretty crazy hot flashes for the last couple of days. (I also have the hiccups right now! My hiccups are violent, and loud.) I have no idea what's causing them (the hot flashes, not the hiccups!). Perhaps hormones? I'm also tired _ALL_ _THE_ _TIME_. It's getting annoying. I've been taking 5000IU of Vitamin D everyday (per my Dr.'s instructions), but it's not really helping like I thought it would. I'm trying to cut back on my caffeine intake - no caffeine after 5PM - but today is the first day I'm enforcing that, so it'll be a bit until I can know if that's helping or not. This health stuff is driving me bananas. I'm holding off on making a doctor appointment - I hate going to the doctor. The hot flashes are making me nervous because the two times I've passed out I got really hot right before I passed out. I'm afraid that overheating causes my passing out, but I have no basis for that. Blah!
