... In bed

I've been spending the week playing SQL Goddess in preparation for going on vacation. (Okay, might as well spill the beans: I'm going to Florida next week. Brother-in-law will be housesitting, so please don't go steal my root beer.)

Being SQL Goddess forces me to use the SMARTY McSMARTYPANTS side of my brain, which kind of hurts after a while. So I'm taking a break.

And there's no time like the present to share the latest batch of fortune cookie fortunes I've collected:

• Your talents will be recognized and suitably rewarded.
• Keep an eye out for someone special.
• Your path may be difficult, but will be rewarding.
• You cannot put the same shoe on every foot. Try amending your plan.
• Use your natural talents to obtain more.
• You will receive unexpected support over the next week. Accept it graciously.
• Pain is not a bad thing; it is simply something one attempts to avoid.
• Life is a series of choices. Today yours are good ones.
• You have so much to be thankful for.
• Good things are being said about you.
• You have sound business sense.

YOU CANNOT PUT THE SAME SHOE ON EVERY FOOT, okay, buddy? And if the shoe doesn't fit, you must acquit. Or buy a shoehorn. That works too.

So much packing to do -- and so much pre-trip excitement. But first: data. Lots of it. Right now. Back to work.

... I lubs you guys. Have I told you that lately?
