I'm pleasantly surprised to discover that what began as a conceit has recently become a useful job skill. Our new film scheduling program only knows the 24 hour clock. I seem to be the only person here who can do the conversions (for instance 1pm is 13) in my head. Yay for me being all silly with the 24 hour clock paying off after all these years.

16 days to get phone service seems a bit LONG to me.

Maybe if you didn't live in such an isolated backwater....oh, wait.

Nah, I got nuthin'.

Criminally long.

That's ridiculous.

Isn't there some law about access to emergency services?

I KNOW! And the DH is a freelance writer, who needs to be accessible for work. Something is wrong with the line from the box on the street to our junction box, so they have to rewire. That needs a crew and they tell us one isn't available until then. I hope it's because they are helping people who have been in the fires, which would make it okay to wait, but this runaround started before the fires so I don't think so.

...I sound utterly ridiculous, don't I? Yes, I do. But, but, but - this whole Putting-Oneself-Out-There thing isn't an area in which I excel. I'm more talented in the Stay-Indoors-With-Cat area.

Heh. I know exactly the feeling, Fay! Good luck, I like the sound of the guy! I agonized and worried over what to write in my ad on Craigslist....but even worse was getting the responses!!

Which...I've had a few now, and one seems promising. And one other I'm meeting just for a game of scrabble. There are one or two others that I'll probably email a few more times and angle for a coffee, we haven't seen pics so who knows.

And then the GILF emailed me!! eeeeep! On the one hand, I'm like "You're a grandmother. And took like, a week and a half to email me back" On the other hand, grandmother I'd like to....so....

Needless to say, seeing htat email in my inbox (and she also left a voicmail. And it's a super cute email) made my heart rate speed right up. :)

DH took D to the doctor this morning and we just found out he has asthma. Welcome to my day.

Asthma? He's just a baby!! Good lord.

Sometimes I think my life would be easier if I were. I know so MANY amazing bi/lesbian women. But then, the question would be if they were into me . . .

Heh. And you're awesome and hot, but of course, life would find a way to make things too complicated.

Oh, wow, that sucks. If it was just scheduling a switch to be flipped, but good grief...

If I was online dating and got to meet either Meara or Fay, I'd count myself EXTREMELY lucky.

totally

Btw, meara there was this totally hot and cute dyke on What Not To Wear the other day, and she's a firefighter with buff arms and she's in Seattle.

You should date her.
