the day is now draggginggggg.

whomever is in charge of time, please speed it up.

Father Time decided to pull an early April Fool's joke on you and me. Unfortunately it's not funny to us.

Katie. In a year, I have only been given an agenda for the board meeting ONCE before the actual meeting. If I don't specifically ask what I am responsible for bringing, I would never be told how to prepare.

hates them.

For some reason, people keep leaving messages for random businesses on my home voice mail. Sure, wrong numbers happen, but 2/3 of my OGM is in French. Which LA businesses do they think they're calling? I never correct them, because they're dumb.

When I got my cell phone, a business kept calling and calling to speak to ... someone not me. Eventually I called them back and said they had the wrong number, and they tried to convince me to give them my name (to prove I wasn't her? Dunno) and further contact details. They got hung up on.

Her friends will call her and say, " Your kid called me this morning. It's really hard to hang up on a baby."

My great-nephew picked up my sister's cell-phone while we were completely unaware one day. It wasn't until we heard him speaking into the phone that we realized the three year old had learned to use the damn thing--granted, he just hit the send button and it dialed the last dialed number (which, how fortunate for him was his grandmother). When he realized we were on to him, he said, "I got to go, Grandma! Bye!"

He also loves remote controls.

Allyson, perfect gift for your wee nephew: the wee mote. It's programmable for the child's favorite channels. And safe for them to use.

So annoying!

(I did send an e-mail to the leader this morning. Have heard nada. Oh well. *shrugs*)

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Somebody mistakenly sent out an email which went out Firmwide. Thousands of people.

And NOW dozens of people are replying ALSO FIRMWIDE that they got the email in error. How fucking stupid do you have to be to add your "me too" to the mistake?

file it under: people who are not us, suck.

And in completely unrelated "who is a total dummy? Who is a total dummy and needs to do something right this minute in order to not scream at herself?" news, who just spilled water all over the exercise she's working for the last few days (still unfinished) and now has to copy *everything* because it was written in pencil and by tomorrow it'll be a unreadable paper mesh?

No, come on, guess who.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sorry. I've just seen this So.Many.Times.

Nilly, is it me? Sounds like me.

She called to apologize (she had the wrong area code), and I told her if she hires the guy, he owes me flowers.

It was great of you to call Allyson. And I admire this woman for calling you back to explain her error. Unfortunately most folks would have just dialed the new area code and never bothered to apologize.

Today I had to write a check for 600 bucks to a man whose unattended car my wife damaged in the parking lot. My wife called me at the time to ask what to do, and I told her to leave a note with our phone number. So when I paid the man he thanked me profusely for our honesty. I told him it would be nice if honesty was the norm rather than the exception. Now I hope the karma wheel gets me my 600 bucks back.
