Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[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.
Hundred bucks, Suzi, plus any difference in the fare. Don't know if that would apply for both legs, or if they'd hit you twice, though.
FWIW,
we're
excited for you. And we also realize that the scheduling is a big deal for K-bug. It's not something you shift by a day without checking.
Thanks everyone. I'm trying to calm down now. I might just make the call to him myself. I'm pushing 40. I should be able to stand up for myself and my family.
What is funny, with my dad, is that he HAD called to see about switching weekends and we had reiterated that this was the only weekend she could go and it coincided with the open house. Last I had heard from him was that he was going to get them all on that red eye. No clue what changed.
I made a mistake at work. It's going to mean a lot of paperwork and it was breaking regulations. But I didn't know it at the time.
I have to talk to Big Boss about this, but it's frustrating. We haven't filled the position of her assistant (who was my supervisor) and I have people coming to me because I'm the face they know about issues I'm not qualified to handle. Some people haven't been listening when I've told them that.
This problem is just something that I didn't know because I'm not trained to do the things I'm being sort of asked to do.
I'm also on day three of no caffiene and it's been relatively easy, no headaches, but I miss drinking something in the morning. A Sierra Mist Free in the morning isn't the same.
Called the airline. Will be $159 to change the flight out. K-Bug has already asked work for the Monday off, so not going to push on that one.
Now to suck it up and call dad.
{{Suzi}} Hope your dad listens to reason.
{{{Suzi}}} I'm sorry you have to deal with this.
{{{Cash}}} I'm glad you have more information, but I know that this whole experience has been very stressful for you.
Ya know. I will NEVER understand that man. I called and he was all upset that he misunderstood about the open house. Told me to look into changing her leg out there and he would cover the cost (I played dumb about already calling - didn't want to push too much).
He asked if she needed her own hotel room or if he should get a suite. I said I would have her call him about that.
Geeeesh, Louise.
Good luck Suzi. I hope everything works out with a minimum of discomfort.
Cash, you are such an excellent parent.
Amiee: Skeevy tenants.
Apparently my sister said some stuff in an email that's got the friend concerned. I'm blown away by how thoughtful this friend is, to go out of her way to make sure Meg's OK. But then I remember how sweet she always was and I'm not that surprised.
I remember when a friend of mine was with an asshat who had me really worried. Her dad called to find out what I knew. At first I didn't want to violate her privacy or trust, but you know what? She wasn't talking to me, and her dad might get through to her.
Better a friend who won't talk to you than a friend who can't.
Got me earwormed with You Light Up My Kilt. Damn you omnis!
um. wow. I dunno that one. Is it sung to "You Light Up My Life"?
Aimee! someone's come up with a "toy" that makes Em's naughty worm look innocent.
so, I'm reading at work (shocker). in the theater. With lighting and stage management in the row behind me. I see "toy" and "Em" and think it's some kids cute toy. I click. It takes a minute for me to register that this isn't an "Em" toy. Face blushes as I scramble to Command+W to close the window. :: sigh :: I should have known.. it's Bitches! It was rather funny. Thankfully, it's theater.
Suzi, sounds like it's all working out! yay!
