That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

flea, I'm coming in late, but S. got picked up a few years back for going 25 over the limit. He did have to appear in court, but as soon as he got there the DA offered to drop the charge to 15 over (and thus no chance of suspension) in exchange for pleading guilty. It still sucked, of course, but NC is pretty willing to deal. Either you or mr flea are welcome to email if you have any questions.

And to repeat, sucks.

Review went good, squee. I still have a job and we're getting raises!

Well done, oh bon!

Hope you're getting some "it was nothing serious" news soon, ita.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Right on, bon bon!

ita, I hope everything will be okay with your dad.

In house news, today was all business. The bank, the mortgage broker, the lawyer, and the inspection. I am exhausted.

ETA: Yay for the raise, bon!!

The status is NOT quo.

ita, wishing all the best for your dad. Hang in there.

Bon, YAY on the good review and raise!

flea, I'm so sorry about the ticket. How frustrating!

~ma for ita and her dad (and family).

Yay, for bon bon! Also for Sue and your new house!

I just filed my taxes. Why do I always end up owning Illinois one dollar? Oh, well, at least the refund from the feds should be enough to get the laptop I need, either that or pay for my glasses and make a decent payment on my one remaining credit card. But, I'll still need to get a laptop sometime before July.

Hmmm, must think about this...

Thanks for the advice, Allyson. If I can drag myself out of bed early enough, donuts are a fine idea. I even pass a Dunkin' Donuts on the way to work.

And Dana, any suggestions would be keen. My supervisor finally sent me an outline she wants me to follow, so I'm not feeling quite as tossed off the deep end as I was earlier. And I have rum now. So yay.

When I got home from work, I was sorting through my mail and found an envelope from my high school with a "please verify your graduate information" stamped on the front. I stared at it for one horrified moment, thinking, "WTF? No! You can't make me go back to high school!"

Then I opened it and found out they just want my alumni information.

Phone just rang. Verbatim conversation:
Guy on phone: "Hey, how's it going?"
me: "Hi, who is this?"
Guy: "My name is Tony Somethingorother, and I'm sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ tonight. Can I share it with you?"
me: "No, thank you." Hangs up.

Christian telemarketers? What fresh hell is this?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Maybe they get a commission when they get to heaven.
