i spent most of today working on a brief while checking the internet obsessively for an indication that the folks at the nlrb approved my request for an extension so i could immediately stop working on it. if they don't grant it, this week will be shitty. it was that kind of day. it was also my last day with chocolate for the next month. working furiously on a brief on the last day to eat chocolate is a bad combination.
