{{sj}} I'm sorry, hon. Any chance of taking another quick look around and finding something you both like?

Doubtful. I think the real estate guy we have been working with has pretty much had it with us. I'm going to ask him if he thinks there is anything else new that is worth our interest before we sign on the other one and see what he says. I'm difficult because of the first floor and because I want to be in a nicer neighborhood in a clean apartment.

{{sj}} I'm sorry that finding a place to live has been so difficult. I'm also annoyed that you don't get the place you want because people are dorks. If you're going to be denied, it should at least be for a good reason.

Thanks, -t. It's just confirming my "All people that aren't buffistas, suck" suspicions.

There's a lot of data in support of that theory, I'm afraid.

{{sj}} and it's just ridonkulous that this

because I want to be in a nicer neighborhood in a clean apartment

is a tall order. Because hello? Shouldn't we all be able to live in a clean apartment in a decent neighborhood? I mean, really.

sj, I'm so sorry. I thought it was a done deal. Stupid new owner.

Teppy, I'm glad your doctor gave you reasonable news about your back. Take it extra easy. For reals.

Suzi, congrats on the raise.

Teppy, I meant to say that I'm glad that you back is just a muscle thing and I hope you're feeling better soon. Also, thank you for the information. I wouldn't have bothered you about it if I had read about your back first.

It wasn't a bother! And you e-mailed me LONG before I ever decided to go to the doctor (or even post here about my back pain). So how could you know? Unless you're deliberately not using your clairvoyant powers.

Netflix sucks.

They sent me Desperate Housewives Season 2 Disk 6 in the Disk 5 package, so I thought maybe I'd seen all of Season 2, so I watched some of the special features--which TOTALLY spoiled the end of the season. And I'm all, where are these episodes? I didn't see these? I thought I'd seen them all! But, no. Apparently, there are four I haven't seen. And now I have to wait.

Me hateses them.

staggers into thread, collapses.

OMG, meetings all day. So I probably missed stuff. sj, I'm sorry about the house situation. Teppy, I'm glad that your doc gave you comforting news about your back. Suzi, congrats on the raise!

What else did I miss? Oh, and who wants to see photos of me from my big hair and scarily thin days? Pete scanned some for me.
