Well, he just called me back from his cellphone (tricksy man! has a different area code!) and I gave it a shot, and he said he'd talk to to the people tomorrow and look at it (and blah blah blha, have to make sure it's similar to people with similar titles/experience, blah blah blah). So fingers continue to be crossed.

get-paid-what-your-worth~ma meara!

Ion... I have googled and wikied and even visited the offical Paul Gross website (oh my!) and I can't figure out what the heck are Paul Gross arms. Anyone care to enlighten me?

My car is fixed! I spent today on the bus trying to get to places that might have a bolt that met the specs--Grade 8 metal, specific length. The car place didn't have one, the building supply place didn't have one, Home Despot did. Hubby installed the new bolt, and I took it on a brief drive to make sure all the pedals works.

I had made arrangements for a ride tomorrow, but I have not been able to confirm one-to-one that specifics--such as my address--are in the possession of my ride. I stupidly did not get his non-work number to tell him I don't need the ride. Unless he happens to check his voice mail at work, he doesn't have my address. That voice mail also has my home phone number, which he hasn't called. He lives near me, but he leaves half an hour after I do (supervisors in offices have more leeway than tech support with defined shifts). I'd rather drive myself, but I hate to not be here in case he stops by.

To do...

• Write paper that was due Monday (got extension to tonight)
  
• Do laundry
  
• Pack for FLORIDA!!!
  

My aunt is doing a big Persian dinner Friday night and my dad is taking us all out to PF Changs Saturday night. Beyond that....no clue. I have never spent more than a few hours with the folks from my dad's side of the family. And it is just me, no kids to hide behind.

But still - 4 days AWAY!!!!!

thank-you brenda!

I just had an employee tell me he watched Rocky Horror on DVD. I went all crazy about how he hasn't really seeen it and then of course it became my personal quest to find him a showing and I found this! Oh LAistas. I think we hasta.

Rocky Horror must be experienced, not just seen.

Thanks for the pomade rec Plei. I appreciate all the input available about such things. I know that different hair needs different goop, but left to my own devices, I will choose incorrectly every single time.

Although I do love the story of the time my brother found out that his fiancee had never seen the movie. He described the scene to me in a letter... they sat on the living room floor, just the two of them and at appropriate moments he handed her a newspaper and then squirted her with a squirt gun, threw toast in the air, stuck a hot dog in her ear...

I love this warning from the Queen Mary site:

It is possible you might see women in lingerie. You might see men in lingerie. You might see lingerie and not be able to associate the one so adorned with any gender.

Andi, are there particular flavors your group likes/dislikes? I have not yet baked with my agave syrup, but I'm more than willing to bite the bullet for you. Mmm, dessert.

d, what a dearling you are. I was leaning toward chocolate myself. I have been really thinking that the best way to go might be a cheese-cake-ish whipped cream cheese dip with various fruits or berries on the side, along with some sugar-free chocolate sauce .... or something.

Negotiating~ma for meara.
