It's less than an hour before I go on vacation and people are freaking the fuck out!

Dear Region,

I cannot do everything you're going to want me to do while I'm gone in the next 50 minutes. If I'm that important, give me a bloody raise. I'm not going to be checking my email every 10 minutes before I leave, so I hope you got those requests in early! All your numbers are stored in my phone under the city you are calling from, so don't bother. I will recognize the number, and I will. not. answer. It's a vacation for a reason.

Hugs and Kisses from San Francisco,

Me

Health ~ma for your mother, erika.

DJ, I hope you have a fabulous time in SF! Take pictures so we can live vicariously, please!

~ma for erika's mom.

I know! I'm picking up shoes after work, then home to double check the packing job (and to get rid of 2 out of the 3 nines I'd packed), then to Walgreens for last minute stuff, then a bottle of wine so I can get to sleep tonight, then wake up, get dressed, get to the airport, fly across the country, AND THEN I'LL BE THERE!

THEN I'LL BE THERE!

SQUEEEEEEEE!!

I just turned down a bartending job for tomorrow night. I'm all, "Hells, no. My girl's in town and we got some squeeing to do!" Some whiskey to drink, some boys to ogle..... SQUEE!

Mr Jane last night:

So are you excited? I'll bet you're excited. Is that why you're still up? I bet it is... I'm jealous.

And, a coworker just came in to tell me I looked giddy, and another told me this morning I looked "very San Franciscoey"

Foggy, but with great architecture?

I dunno. I think it was the Chinese satin brocade skirt I'm wearing.

ETA: Actually, I think I like your description better. My husband has often complimented my architecture. And the foggy? I do drink a lot of scotch.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

(also, DJ, insent)(you, too, Juliana)

I used to get this all the time at my old job. Dude! We're an international company with billions of dollars in assets involved in dozens of markets! Do you really think Schmoe Customer Service Rep is going to be able to just dial up the CEO? "Hey, Jim, yeah. It's Joe. I got a customer who'd really like to chat with ya."

A friend of mine is a nurse-anesthesiologist at OSU Med Center. He had the president & CEO of Wachovia Securities naked and at his mercy last week. The guy flew his corporate jet up here to have prostate surgery or something. He was apparently pissed that he had to wait amongst the peons before going into surgery. He didn't yet know that not only did they not have any private hospital rooms available, they didn't have ANY hospital rooms available that night.

I told my friend he should have hit him up for investment tips.

Mucho~ma for erika's rockin' mamma.
