I spilled my coffee (thank dog not all of it) on my pants as I was getting out of my car at work this a.m. Classy!

In more fun news, my band may be playing in Las Vegas in August at this great big rollerderby convention thing. Am beyond excited at the prospect!!!

Between my boss and I, we've been on hold with Comcast for over three hours.

I've been calling the east coast for technical support for days. Because some users don't seem to understand the concept of calling technical support themselves. Despite the fact that I am in no way connected to their problem.

NOT YR SYSADMIN KTHX.

Comcast bought out Time Warner in our area, so we technically have to switch over to them for our internet. I have heard horror stories. I am not looking forward to it. I mean, it's hard to believe they could be worse than TW, but still, horror stories.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats on the new job, lisah! And the fancy Vegas gig!

Yay for the new computer, Nilly!

I think I may die before my 1pm meeting. My office is imploding all around me. I heard a rumor that my boss is going to take a month of medical leave, but she hasn't told me that yet, and it's killing me.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

tomorrow, June 1, will be Jon and FAQwife's anniversary, and to wish them both a great day and a wonderful year together.

Aww, thanks Nilly!

In Bee news, the girl from the Bahamas is out, but the one from Jamaica has survived round 5.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I bet every cable operator has horror stories. My mom has worked for the local cable operator for 25 years and if I thought I got shit about my job-- family reunions in different states were devoted to complaining to her about what that effing company did now.

Swouncing

you didn't lose anything.

I lost just a little. It could have been so much worse, I'm not even thinking about whining.

I may have more perspective to the whole computer thing, considering how in the last couple of weeks (1) my sister announced that she and her boyfriend are getting married (in two months!) (2) my best friend (and her two sons, who are the closest thing I have to nephews) are leaving next week for the USA for around two years (3) a dear friend became a father (4) and scheduled the "brit" to his son in the one time I couldn't possibly be there

[Edit: I should add (5) I seemed to lose the ability to spell]

my band may be playing in Las Vegas in August at this great big rollerderby convention thing

Awesome! When will you know for sure?

Jon! I'm so glad I get to early-congratulate you in your screen! I'm so very pleased I got to meet FAQwife (when she was "only" FAQGirl, but still).
