Nicole, the shoes arrived!

YAY!! PICTURE TIME!! WITH YOUR FEET IN THE SHOES!!

Teppy! There is no way I am asking for pictures of you in the shoes after the prior discussion

Pfft, Laura. That was a stranger. A weirdo stranger. I want PICTURES!! WITH HER FEET IN THEM!!

• *I do not now, nor have I ever had a foot or shoe fetish. Just a Teppy in kick-ass shoes fetish. So there.**

I have to go dry some clothes at the laundromat down the street because my shitty dryer died on me (again!) last night. I will keep my fingers crossed for pictures to be posted when I return.

Aw, Beej, been there, done that, bitten holes in the t-shirt in frustration. The most persistently irksome thing about it? The question of why, why, why every single creditor you ever have is willing, eager and able to make harassing phone calls to you wanting to know when the hell you're going to pay up, except the damn people who gave you the phone number in the first place.

Signed,

Had My Phone Turned Off Three Times Due To Ineptitude Largely No, I Was Too Generous, Entirely Caused By The Phone Company's Inability To Pick Up The Phone And Call Me (or, for short, Fuck Pac Bell, those fucking fucks)

Weird how the dsl works...guess I musta paid THAT ONE and just forgotten to pay the phone, which is on the same bill.

I had this happen with local and long distance FROM THE SAME COMPANY. It took me no end of grief to work it out, and now I have a different telephone company, which has been a dream for me to work with, but not always for others. I hope that your situation is resolved much more easily and quickly. I guess the good thing about phone problems being widespread is that hopefully your clients will be understanding?

eta: Upon re-read, I realized that this post inadvertently turned into being all about mememe. Sorry!

Phone company distress does seem to be a common complaint. Just about everyone I know has horror stories. I just moved my office phones and despite the massive advance notice I still had the disconnnected message. Grrrr.

Libkitty!

I know I owe you mail. I have not forgotten!

You're fine, Trudy. Just fine. You may not have forgotten, but I had.

Catching up,

Drunk!Juliana is adorkable. Awww.

she's still shy, and she's never met anyone over the internet before. SOOO CUUUUTE!!

Never met anyone over the internet before? Where has she BEEN? t /totally addicted to teh intarweb

ita, you should krav him. Just to prove you can

Now that I've heard more info about his scare tactics? I"m totally on board with this. Maybe he could be the demonstration person that you beat the crap out of for your test!!!

See, that's just sad. black leather pants should give everyone a +5

Well at least, almost everyone--I'm thinking Joe Schmoe with the beer belly is just gonna look worse in black leather pants. But anyone who's already reasonably attractive...

ast week was Restaurant Week here (special deals on meals at purportedly nice restaurants) and several people have gotten sick

Dude! That's no kind of good! I went to Restaurant Week, but it wasn't very good...but at least I didn't get sick!!

t smooches libkitty

awwww. Now I feel all content, and I have to ruin it by going to class. Not that I don't like this class. I do. It's great and I love the folks in it. But, awww.

Never met anyone over the internet before? Where has she BEEN?

Beijing! She worked there for a few years, though she did high school in Melbourne. I know what you mean, it's like Allyson said, "I don't know who those people are, they must not have the internet."

Meamwhile, in the best evidence yet that things are not right in my head this week, I just bought some muesli bars for workplace hungries, paid for them, and then left them sitting on the counter. In my defence, the attendant was trying to talk to me about stuff and I am not friends with The People right now. Happened to me last night too. Stoopid People. Stoopid Miss Manners, who won't acknowledge that it's perfectly ok to tell total strangers to leave me the hell alone. I know how to say "Don't touch me" in Arabic, by now I should be able to beam it directly into people's brains.

Or maybe I can, my performance appraisal this week notes that other people in the office find me "aloof". Remedial action is needed, my goal this year is to get it upgraded to "haughty".
