Also check the trunk of your car(s), Sean, in case you dropped it in there. (Why yes, I've done it.) Good luck. I hope it turns up before the need to report it all missing.

DH has taken the kids to the market. I've got to get to the gym while I have some me time.

I am really, really hoping that you get scheduled for SF interviews. Only with my luck, I'll be in the UK. Boo!

Dude! I would love to meet you!!! Fingers crossed it all works out. (She wanted me to come next week, but I have an interview Wednesday here in DC, and am on a vacation to Maine Thurs-Sun)

Yeah, I'm about to go do a thorough check of the car, again, but I'm hoping it'll turn up there. At this point, I'm not sure how much more I can tear apart my apartment to convince myself it's not here.

All that's left after that is going over the theater with a fine-toothed comb.

I hope you find it Sean.

javachick is mos def worth meeting. Even if you only get to hang out with her for a little while.

Dear People I Have To Deal With Today:

We are going to have to establish some rules so I don't have to choke a bitch. You have already driven me to drink when I really need to go home and clean and finish my damn dress.

1. Please do not call back over and over and over. They will call you back when they have a chance. Meanwhile, you are driving me insane. Yes, I do too know it's you. I have caller i.d.

2. "Someone called me from there." and "I'm returning a phone call." are not helpful things to say. I do not know who called you, and even if it was me, I've probably called two dozen people in the last 3 hours. Listen to your voicemail. Telling me no one left one is bullshit, and we both know it.

3. EVERYBODY WANTS THE FUCKING LATE APPOINTMENTS!!! No one else wants to take off either. What this means is that everything from 4-7 is scheduled at least 3 weeks out. What it does not mean is that we are not accomodating to people who have to work, or that we're not here until 7:30 or 8:00 at night.

4. You saw the appointment book when I scheduled you. You know we have back to back appointments all day every day except Friday when we try to get caught up on the paperwork you repeatedly call about. You asked to be squeezed in. Being 15 to 20 minutes late is a big fucking deal.

5. We get sick too. Deal.

Fuck you very much,
Me

P.S. Not only will I cut you, I'm sharpening my scissors right the hell now.

Git outta Daisy's way! And take 100 steps backwards if yo ass is from Plano, pal.

Awwww. Same to you but more of it!

Meara, if not this trip, then soon. I'm in the UK from this Saturday to Sept. 4th.

And take 100 steps backwards if yo ass is from Plano, pal.

True.

I should have added. "Do not call back to ask for each and every other person in the office. Everybody has appointments."

I think I'm gonna go look at lolcats to calm myself.

I'm in the UK from this Saturday to Sept. 4th.

Good grief! That's quite a while, good luck!! But yes, we will meet someday, someday...(insert evil very sweet laughter)

I've spent most of the last year paralyzed by my horribly messy house

Oh, libkitty, what a relief that I'm not the only one this happens to! Tell you what: you come to my house and help me clean up, and then I'll come to your house and help you!

Did you know that the sign language for "phlebotomist" is the same as that for "vampire"?

Considering my last experience with flea-botanists, I can believe this easily.

Calm~ma, DJ.

Wallet~ma, Sean. For me, my wallet and my keys are usually in the place I looked for them 10 times before. Good luck!

Lolcats+smoke break were working until I got the "Someone called me from there?" and then the lie about no message being left.

What truly chaps my ass about it? They won't take the 2 seconds it takes to press the voicemail button, but have no problem asking me to waste 10 minutes walking from office to office to ask if someone called their ass. And then they lie when called on it.
