Her first question: "Are you still single and childless?"
I am about to have my book published, have friends all over the world and many of them right near where I live, and have a great hair.
[Edit: x-post with msbelle, sort of. In spirit, anyway]
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What Calli said, Cash. I hate people trying to cheer me up in any circumstances, anyway, but leaving the dentist in pain? @@
Allyson, WTFF?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think the "you rude bitch" is implied.

Nilly, I am honored to be in spirit with you.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
It's a weird question, right? I think I don't get the point.
I got my first check for the book, BTW. I forgot to bring it to work, I wanted to make a nice copy of it for framing.

msbelle, I'm honored too. So we're in the same corner again. Which is a very nice corner to be in.

Oh, that's an adorable idea. Are you going to spend it on something fun for yourself, or be all practical?

Some of it is going toward time off to finish it at the end of the month. The rest goes into savings. And maybe a teeny bit toward nephew spoilage.

What is even happening?
What Nilly and msbelle said.
Sophia, I'm with the people who think you should swing by the old apartment. That said:
It turns out that it is being delivered to my old apartment! So the t-mobile lady said that all I can do is wait and see if the phone is shipped back to them, and then it can be shipped to me! So I ask what happens if the person chooses not to ship it back, and basically I will have to pay for the phone, extend my contract two year, and have no phone.
Which is my fault, becuase I confirmed the order-- I just assumed they had the right address because my bills come to the right address.What? No. If you can't get the phone from the new people in the apt. please do not accept this. Go up the food chain at T-mobile. This is utter nonsense. You're the customer. You made an error; it's not like you killed someone.

Given that she's an old friend, is there any chance it's a joke, or a reference to something? Because saying "still" like that seems really peculiar if she's referring to 14+ years ago.
Or was she not that kind of friend?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It seems so frivolous
Less frivolous would be paying for me to have a massage and a body wrap, but if you're going to be All About The Cowgirl, so be it.
Rescheduled meeting ran over two hours. Perhaps I can get some work done between now and heading out for training this afternoon (my boss will be in the same session, so little goofing off may be possible). However, I still need to eat and nap or bad things will happen.
Allyson, just send her the Sci Fi article. Unless she's great friends with you, that's hella rude. Did she happen to deprecate herself in the e-mail?
