Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Y'all are funny with the resumes. I should take notes.

Good luck with the gall bladder, katefate!

Would it be bad form for me to start knitting while sitting at reception? My gut feeling is that it would.

Hey. New board.

I agree with Andi. I stand behind Mature!Dawn as a character filled with possibility!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Sometimes I just hate having friends. It's so damn hard. I asked how my friend had handled a situation, in a roundabout way, in front of her (granted, student and underclassman) boss in our mutual class today, because we don't talk enough that I know what's going on with her; and after class she said, "Never do that to me in front of my boss again. He doesn't know what's going on, and it puts me and my job in a bad position."

Which, granted, I could have picked a better time to ask her about it--but I was only asking out of concern, and it wasn't in any way phrased so that it would reference her job, and it's not like I see her more than in class anyway, so I wouldn't have had a chance to ask her.

But I sent her an email asking that, should we get into a conversation like that again, she not order me to do something; she ask. To which she replied, "I hope we never get in a conversation like that again."

Okay, I realize the mundanity of this and that I'm making something of a bigger deal than it really is. But would it have killed her to at least acknowledge that that bothered me? Instead of throwing thinly veiled blame at me again? jesus. I might just become a hermit. Honestly.

Sounds annoying, SA. She's not the boss of you.

I really dislike handling mail.

Thrive to spite them

I'm sorry SA.

Thanks to the patented Buffista~ma my day at workdidn't suck more than it had to. I avoided a meeting!

howver, I got to Mom's to discover I taped the wrong channel for hockey AND managed to cut off the part of the USA game.

Instead of a tape full of hockey! I had a tape full of CNBC. Hockey was on MSNBC. But tomorrow I'm going to get it right. I wish I had tivo because trying to tape around games showed right in a row really hard. Thank god it's all live and they list the exact times the games are on.

I can't wait for it to be Friday.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

OMG! I totally forgot to tell you guys what happened at my great-grandmother's funeral luncheon! (I think) Nora, I can't WAIT for you to go off on this.

My Eldest Uncle, said, to my sister, in front of about 15 relatives, and I quote -

"Yeah, she smokes. And she wonders why she doesn't have a job OR a man!"
