Um,I think you're INSANE for driving from Frederick to DC. But at least your employer gives you a car and gas?

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Poor Emmett. No one should have that many things go wrong in a day until they're out of college at least.
I think you're INSANE for driving from Frederick to DC.
Bwah! I know I'm lucky to have a company car. If that would ever change, I'd probably be looking for work closer to home.
So I took him to Yum to console him and it's closed and gone. He was bereft, "I loved going soda shopping! They had 300 different flavors!"
Oh, shit! I knew that, and I thought I had warned you about it but now it looks like I am an ass who never did.
Poor lamb. Will the two of you be picking Matilda up? Maybe some extra cuddle time with her will help.
Ah hell.
One of my best employees just gave notice. It's going to be difficult to replace her. She rocks. No way our company can counter the other company's salary offer. Damn. Not what I needed.
Awww, he's okay. The closures and stuff have been happening all summer. He's go a band aid and he had a milkshake as consolation. Which he enjoyed plenty before we rushed home.
He's now happily curled up with his Nintendo and we've got 5 baseball games in the next four days.
Speaking of which... Suzi we're going to be in Alameda all weekend. Friday night, Sat game 1pm, Sun games at 1pm and 4:30.
Poor Emmett. Poor Javachik.
Will the two of you be picking Matilda up?
Yeah, we're getting the pootie. He's already eager about that.
I hope she's in a good mood.
No way our company can counter the other company's salary offer.
Can you counter it in other ways? More vacation time, flex time, or something of that sort?
In mememe news, next week we're going down to Alabama to spend a week with my mom, who's undergoing chemo for lung cancer. We'll be gone Tues.-Mon.
I like my new job. It's either the best or second-best I've ever had. But this week it's been crazy. My to-do list has been expanding far faster than I can cross anything off of it. I just got an urgent "sort out this impossible bureaucratic tangle by Friday or world go kablooey" task dumped on my desk. And that's leaving aside everything ELSE in my life, like sudden urgent parent-teacher conferences at daycare (AFAICT Annabel is just being a normal limit-testing 3-year-old, but they called us down Monday afternoon as if they'd never heard of such a thing as acting out during naptime), trying to get our house clean enough to not shock my friend who's watering the tomatoes and picking up the mail, suddenly remembering that I'd forgotten to judge a writer's contest and have three entries to get through by Sunday, etc.
Anyway, I thought I'd make work a little less stressful by dividing the to-do list into "before Alabama," "after Alabama," and "either."
80% of the list is "before Alabama."
AUGGGHHHH. Send cabana boys. Cabana boys who understand government/university/hospital bureaucratic protocol.
