How did TicketMaster manage to get this seeming monopoly?
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes.
I just got an email that was so outrageous, it made me laugh for a really long time. There's no way to properly describe it to you people, but it was kind of the equivalent of, "Hey you guys, why don't we just make February come AFTER March?"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That's really kind of beautiful. At least, for those of us who don't have to deal directly with the person.
Yesterday I sent out an updated calendar announcement cancelling a 1 p.m. meeting, and got back one response declining my cancellation, with a note saying, "I'm terribly sorry, but I have another commitment at 1." I badly wanted to email her back and ask if it would work better for me to cancel a different meeting tomorrow so she could not come to that non-meeting instead, but I've actually (most unwisely) done that sort of thing before, and it never ends well.

Meeting scheduling continues to be my bane. People still want stuff, but they don't want to come and tell you what stuff. I need to escalate quicker, and play fast and loose with ccs more often.
Same at my last job--I'm assuming that either it's me, or it's, well, the world. That narrows it down some.

It really is kind of better when the wackos get so far over the top, all you can do is laugh.

Our wings are not tired
I had 4 G&Ts last night, and I feel like a zombie.
Did anyone else jump right to wondering why he would order yet another drink? Mmmmm...zombie.

Ah, the beverage that proves you are what you drink.
I had no alcohol last night, but filled up to my eye teeth on half price all-you-can-eat steak. And woke up before my alarm this morning bristling with energy.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just had a meeting which we all got to look at a detailed chart which showed how many phone calls I was going to make that I didn't--in a colored chart. Bleagh. The only comfort is that none of the three of us who were making all these calls met our mark. Still, feh.

I'm with you in solidarity, Robin -- I just emailed two people I was supposed to call on Monday, if not sooner. I finally decided if I was never going to call them, I should still make some kind of contact! Ugh.

I hate to jinx it, but I might have a childcare solution in the future. Noah and I have an appointment at 1:30. So love it ma requested.
I'm also watching FNL on DVD, which I got from Amazon for cheap. Loved the pilot, so far.
I have, literally, a million things to get done.
Burrell, sorry about the sick. That totally sucks.
Also, also, did I mention that Polgara gave me Avenue Q tickets for my birthday. We went and it was brilliant enough that I think I might go again before it goes away.
