Tara ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Casper's friend Ellen was visiting this summer and mr. flea was lifting her into a swing. She said to him, "I'm heavy because I'm fat." She's 4 (and squarely built, but not fat). I know her mother isn't giving her that message; it's her grandmother. So sad. FOUR.Where on earth is old Biff Tannen with that metal fist handled walking stick when you need him.
I nerved myself up to make some calls I'd been putting off all week. I sat down, put on my telephone headphones and was ready to interview away. There was no dial tone. I've put in a service request to ATT. The last time this happened, I had to go through the tortures of the damned to get it fixed, including the service person who swore that he had been here and I wasn't home. I was here the whole fucking day, and my office window is about 8 feet from the front door. Then they charged me for the invisible lying SOB's visit and said they couldn't reschedule for three days.
NOT. HAPPY.
Ginger! Much ATT-repairo~ma for you. Silly repairfolk lying. BAD!
As for me? I learned about this great site [link] that has refurb computers and monitors and phones and office equipment, etc at super cheap prices. At work we are in want of (3) 17" flatscreens. Don't need to be fancy with 2 ms response time or anything. They sell them for $100 each. SUPER! They, being local, are high on my list to deal with, no shipping charges, instant gratification, etc. For THREE WEEKS they've been saying "ya that order should be in [a few days from time of call]. Call us back then." Alas. No arrive. Very frustrated, but I really don't want to pay twice as much for a new flat screen when we don't need fancy bells and whistles. Much frustration. Sometimes being frugal sucks. Actually, having tight budgets is what sucks, frugality is just the result of said suckiness.

And then you follow this with all-caps? Very crafty of you, Erin.
Totally unrelated to anything...Tessie just started playing on iTunes, and it reminded me that the girl that cut my hair today is thinking about getting married at Fenway, which I just think is about the coolest thing ever. Apparently, it's the same price as renting a hall at one of the local hotels, and really, the cool factor is, well, COOL. Plus, she and her fiance got engaged at a game at Fenway, so just perfect.
I'm just all, "awwwwwwwww," about the whole thing.

Well, I tried.
It is autumnal here! I am so jazzed! I can break out the cute patterned tights and tight sweaters!
Timelies!
I haven't had much internet time 'cause my new boss started this week. Following the nano-management style one who just left, he practically had to be an improvement ... but it looks like it's going to be good (for me). I think our styles are going to mesh well. AND the first time he saw me, he said, "you look just like my best friend!"
yay?
wow. now that big show is up, and ready to open tonight... all the hard work done. prep'ing and planning payed off wonderfully. Suddenly motivation to work on pithy small shows is fleeing and out the window. Can I just go home? Please?!
Of course, day of slothness feeling seems to be coinciding with a day of slow bitches. NOT FAIR I SAY! So. Aside from 42, what IS the meaning of life? (something to start conversation!) ;-)
OK, this is me working. No really. I am. I swear. Off I go.
ok. too funny. loud mouth light board op really truly thinks she doesn't stink when she sweats. Um... Ya you do! Even when you don't schlep heavy equipment around ya have a bit of BO to ya...
ok, now I'm off to work. Really. I promise. I'll do something... sometime... soon... maybe today.... or next week....
