Awesome exchange there....

Why do I decide at noon to start work on something that there's no way will be done by quitting time? I mean, I can totally leave it hanging, but come Monday it will take forever to figure out exactly where I was and what in the hell I was thinking.

I'm having tea after work with hot french/moroccan boy next week.

Yay. & Oh go have interesting conversation!

Awww that's not totally true, we have a ton of domestic business

Hee! I should have said, none of my US clients have DHL accounts. (As opposed to all of our UK production houses, which are constantly asking if they can use DHL, since the cutoff time to send a package overnight from the UK via Fedex is ridiculously early. UPS is later, but they're constantly losing things, so not very helpful.)

Additionally, Sweet Home Chicago Pizzeria now sells the authentic Chicago-style thin-crust pizza in the Salt Lake City, Utah, market,

I wonder if it's in the average-folk areas or over in the froofy "please, tourists, come over here and mingle with the rich folk" areas.

Aww. This is the last day *of* my vacation. Technically. Although there's the weekend, still. Although I'm teaching tomorrow. Although I'm only teaching one student.

Okay, I still have plenty of vacation.

If this were a livejournal post, I'd use my coffee icon, because I am having the best cup of kona coffee, the loss of which is the worst bit about my parents moving back from Hawaii to the mainland.

The SO totally let me sleep in this morning, for which I will be eternally grateful. And I didn't even stay up unbelievably late last night so I actually feel rested. Today is his birthday dinner even though yesterday was his birthday. But we dunno if anyone will show up because we've got a friend who is deathly ill, and lots of our mutual friends are helping take care of her/praying for her tonight.

Anyway, I still have nothing else pressing to do all day, and then I get to put on my pretty new stripey dress and go out. Even though it's snowy and rainy and dreary out, I am still pretty relaxed.

eta: Mmm, Chicago pizza. And also, mmm, tea with hot spicy brain dude!

I don't understand why we have to wait so long for Summer Fridays. It should totally be Spring Fridays.

Pizza was quite nummy.

My plan was to get caught up on the "My marketing activities will dominate your face" dude over lunch, but there's just a ton of new posts. The fiasco is still going on. The guy is still posting and taunting, and adding new "products" to his website. WTF?

none of my US clients have DHL accounts

Well we are stiving to be the #3 domestic carrier. This is no lie! Isn't that just lame!! A couple of years ago we had a bunch of intercompany stuff that said "3 in 3" -- yeah 3 years to be #3 man, that stuff never gets old! (but it doesn't beat the horrendous CD that our parent company sent out a few years ago of a "specially commissioned" song about DHL.... when I played it at home my kids were on the floor laughing. This reaction? Not unlike the reaction in the office but with more swearing!)

It should be All Year Fridays. Four-day workweeks all around!

I forgot to take my BP meds yesterday morning, which explains why I was feeling flushed in the afternoon and why I got about 3 hours of sleep last night. Hence zombification today. Cross your fingers for me that i don't mutter "braaaaainsss" while on the phone with my boss today!

What's sad is that I was convinced our Summer Fridays mean we leave at 2, but a coworker said no, it's 1. I'm pretty sure I mostly left at 2, which is a pathetic version of the best of both worlds: still get to leave early, feel virtuous for staying later than necessary.
