• I've been called into a mystery meeting at 2
• My doc inspection meeting was scheduled for 1:30
• There are no 90 minute slots in business hours left for the attendees any time this month
• 90 minutes was too short for the inspection
• I have spilt coffee up and down the sleeve of my white shirt
• MYSTERY MEETING

Oh, and I'm way behind in my headache diary.

I hate a mystery meeting.

Our sole HR person just gave notice. How do you get a new employee if there's no HR person???

I am an emailing maniac today. I may not have actually gotten anything done, but I sure have put a lot of questions onto a lot of other people.

"Mystery Meeting" could be a more adult version of "Mystery Date."

more adult version of "Mystery Date."

Wouldn't that be "Mystery Hook-Up"

Wouldn't that be "Mystery Hook-Up"

And the sequel, "Mystery Rash."

I got Mystery Rash already covered, yet no dates or hook-ups.

How sad.

Okay, migraine diary slightly up to date. I missed an entire week. I have the high level filled in, but would be cheating on most of the details.

Slacker-me.

Now off to update project plans, which have much better notes.

Ya know....

Stephen Baldwin preaches to teens that Bono is in league with Satan. Don't laugh, the born-again actor is a cultural advisor to Bush and one of the most popular new evangelists in the country.

...

Furthermore, he writes, efforts to end global poverty and violence are just the sort of "stupid arrogance" that incur God's wrath, which we'll be feeling any day now in the coming apocalypse. I suppose when the star of "Bio-Dome" is advising the president and converting kids by the thousands to his gnarly brand of faith, the end is, indeed, nigh.

[His new book] "The Unusual Suspect" features an open letter to Bono, lambasting him for lobbying for debt relief for developing countries instead of preaching the gospel on MTV. Bono must be in league with Satan, whom Baldwin spends a lot of time thinking about.

Jellied Gin and Tonic

I made a variation of this for my Goodbye to Summer party and it was a bit hit. My recipe was 1 cup gin/3 cups tonic though. Also, it called for plain slices of lime, which was a disaster, with the gelée cubes sliding all over the place. I look forward to trying the baking thing next time.

FWIW, moose don't do well in captivity, rarely lasting beyond a year or two, and no one knows for sure why. Thank goodness they're still far from endangered at this point.

Fucking hate mystery meetings. Phone calls that consist of "can you come up?" (I'm on the top floor!) scare me shitless.
