Gkikas, as in Chris Gkikas.
Althea and Elise prefer to eat their snazzy new bibs than to wear them.
I wasn’t sure anything could top what undoubtedly was the crappiest Christmas on record, but safe to say, this cold I caught has taken top honors.
Why? It’s just a cold. You’ve had these before, right? Yes, but the consequences are different this time, and they’ve got me depressed, lonely and miserable.
The runny nose and sneezing doesn’t bother me in the slightest. The body aches, meh they’re no big deal. The phlegmy cough? No problem. What’s really bothering me is that I can’t play with, or even get near the babies, for fear of infecting them.
If I got them sick, passed on to them even with the mildest of sniffles, we could be sunk. It’s rough enough taking care of these two when they’re in perfect health, as ‘perfect health’ includes spells of gassiness, fussy fits, explosive yellow shits, etc.
Granted, it’s liable to happen someday, likely even, that they’ll both be sick at the same time. Obviously though, we want to avoid this as long as possible.
So, I’ve been relieved of all baby-related duties until further notice. I haven’t changed but a single diaper in three days. I haven’t burped a single baby. I haven’t been spit up on, shat upon, or riled into a frustrated mental knot.
And I miss it. Terribly.
An email was sent out yesterday by my boss to the entire organization I work within.

Subject: Congratulations to Chris Gkikas on Red Hat Certified Technician certificationPlease join me in congratulating Chris Gkikas on his attaining the Red Hat Certified Technician – Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 certification. Chris is looking pretty spiffy walking around with his red fedora!
BTW, as much as I enjoy basking in the glory or Chris’ achievement, I’d really appreciate it if the congrats were directed to him as opposed to a REPLY ALL (and I suspect many of you would too! :>)
It’s extremely cool to get feedback and praise like this.
So now, this makes me, professional-certification-wise,

I clicked the Magic 8 Ball on my Google homepage just now, after asking it a series of questions. My network connection was up the whole time, so I know this wasn’t a fluke. After as many questions as I asked it, the answer was shown, in an unprecedented and indisputable way, that I will, in my lifetime:
As proof positive of these things, I’m posting a sanitized screenshot because I just know some of you are reading this.
