My boss ismaking me look crazy. Or maybe I am making me look crazy. Or maybe the situation is just crazy.
... I think it is the latter, and I'm not in the mood for crazy right now.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of what's "easy," I just heard that my boss was dithering around about something I was supposed to have done, but about which I had no memory. I went back to my desk and found the email telling me to do it. I just said to boss, "Yeah, I did have that email, and I just dropped the ball... but I'll pick it back up." And I think that will be OK!
I'll let you know if my 2pm meeting with her is an hour on the topic of my dropping the ball, but I have high hopes we are done with that part of the conversation.

After combing through the last month's worth of email (am I glad I'm having problems keeping on top of emails lately and so my oh-so-useful response is to not delete much of anything, which means I have it all, even the stupid auto-reminders? This time, yes) it's very clearly the situation and my boss just doesn't know how crazy it is.

I'm also given to understand that, since it is a one unit situation (over a liquor store), I am sol in terms of rights.
yes, a lot of the landlord/tenant laws won't apply to you because your landlord isn't a "landlord" in the legal sense, becuase he doesn't have enough units.
Are you on a month to month lease?

As I think about it, landlords can only raise the rent by a certain percentage per year. I want to say 3% is the maximum. But, again, not sure if that applies here.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

In CA, it wouldn't.

This is why I don't like giving gift cards.
I don't like giving gift cards because you trade convenient money that you can spend anywhere at any time for inconvenient money that in some cases expires.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Kat, what sizes are the kids in, now? And can K come with me to see Gracie this weekend?
