Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Vortex, I hate when that happens. I'm sorry.

Congrats, amych.

Gack Vortex...having nice bite just...bites. That feeling chokes me sometimes. Perhaps my sense of civility and justice is inflated but hey, when you do unto others kindly, that should put you closer to the front of the queue, rather than the "oh, she doesn't care so we can screw her" ass-end.

Sorry that happened.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

For Vortex:

After Vortex's invites are done, may that printer only be able to use the Sans Serif font on everything. In bright Hulk green.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Huzzah for amych!!!

Vortex, that bites. I'm sorry.

I would be more pissed, but in anticipation of the inevitable fuckup of the print shop, I sent out a 'save the date' email last week.

Go, amych! Good luck with grad school.

Aargh, Vortex. I run into that attitude so much where I work, it's a wonder I'm not in a straightjacket somewhere. I'm a great believer in, if you want it tomorrow, you get it today, but so few others believe in that. I'll join in on Aimee's smite and say, may they bind everything backwards and in Sanskrit.

Good planning.

But doesn't it bite even more to have to be that vigilant?

Years ago, I had a chatty, cordial relationship with a mom and pop registration company I hired to manage the data processing and invitations for a major non-profit national meeting. I heard all sorts of 'it's going great!' until I woke up (like in the movies, stock upright and sweating) at 4am with a psychic flash that they had fucked me royally.

Waiting until normal business hours nearly killed me. Their response when I demanded proof that they'd done what I paid them for? "Um, well soandso has been out with personal problems and, well, we didn't want to tell you (for the last 3 MONTHS) because we didn't want you to get upset." DUDE. It's a week before the event and no one has received their registration materials. You didn't think that might upset me?

Rather than curse the dark, I hired temps to come in and do the whole months long project in. one. day. Superhuman. And super expensive for the reg company. I fear the expenses (which they did pay) may have put them out of business.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Just saw a picture of a bear in a zoo getting a "Birthday cake" made out of fruit and chocolate. There were slices of watermelon, avacado, melon, chocolate twists for candles, and in the center of the cake was...a chocolate bear.

I mentioned this to Andi and she agreed this was odd. I then said, "it isn't like we put edible people on top of our cakes. We have wedding cakes, but--oh no. Now I have an idea. I didn't want this idea, but now I have it. "

She looked at me and grinned.

I continued, "Wouldn't people look at us strange if we did have edible figures on the cake?"

She jumped right in, "We could take molds. Then use sugar free chocolate..."

I love this woman.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Yay amych!!!

I second the recommendation of New Balance shoes for walking. The store where I got my shoes a couple of weeks ago -- where the employees watch how you walk, and examine the pattern of wear on your old shoes, and carefully measure your feet -- ended up recommending New Balance *running* shoes to me, even though I told them I would be walking (*fast* walking, but walking nevertheless).

The shoes, as I believe I mentioned, feel like heaven.

FTR, my feet are wide as hell, I have high-ish arches, and I'm on the upper end of overweight. New Balance shoes have always done me right.
