argh! this monday has SUCKED

1. Up till 2AM just because I wanted to get the last of the books on the shelves.

2. Cleaners lost a button on my suit, had to wait for 20 minutes while they ran around looking for it.

3. Parking space was blocked off by construction guys, who then proceeded to tell me that I needed to give them my contact information because they're painting next week. I told them that I would move when the parking office told me to move, and I was tired of them blocking up the parking lot.

4. Stuck in a meeting with the horrible Power Point presentation. Notice that my boss has my name on the agenda despite the fact that I have TOLD him that I will be out of town.

5. Found out at 1:15PM that boss wants me to revise my PP presentation by 2PM.

6. At 3:15 PM, call my generally reliable student assistant to discover that she isn't coming in today and she forgot to call. I have a lot of shit that I need her to do today.

7. People i have never spoken to continue to call me and say "hi stephanie, I need X" Bitch, I don't know you, do not use my first name if I haven't said that you can!

My heavens Ms. Vortex, that seems like a lousy day, ma'am.

that's a bad day, Vortex.

I question this assertion on the grounds that Harvey did an excellent job raising Sammie, and Katie before her. Male cats often have much better parenting skills than most people think. Your own might surprise you.

Percy's 15. and so much happier being a single cat than he was when there were two of them. He wants nothing to do with other cats. OTH ,Bert would have been a great mom. He loved other cats and wanted to be friends with all of them.

{{{Vortex}}} What an awful day.

Yikes V. No clue what to say there.

VW. Um, holy cow. I just point upthread and nod, since a lot of good advice has been given. I hope the wee ones help renew your love for the world. Don't let one bad apple spoil your life.

ND, that is awesome news! (Sorry I had to push your call to VM, I was on one line, with crew waiting and stupid IT guy talking to me all at once. Aggggg).

GC, hope the hydration does the trick for kitty. Y'all need some warm fuzzies to keep you going. I vote for this one to stay with you. All in favor? Aye! The Ayes have it. There, kitty should be fine now.

GG, added you in LJ. Mine is, well, same as here, Omnis_audis. Ya, original, what can I say.

OK, enough of a Meara. I really should be working.

{{{{{GC}}}}} Here's to Josie's health.

Vortex, that is a sucktastic day. Clearly, you should come visit. It's warm here!

Maybe a new outfit and a manicure will quell the demons before we do get the pictures taken.

I like this plan, too.

That is a whole lot of Mondayness, Vortex. I hope it means that the rest of the week will be unusually smooth and easy.

Vortex, that is a sucktastic day. Clearly, you should come visit. It's warm here!

that is actually the only plus. it is a GORGEOUS day here. I am so glad that I wore the lighter turtleneck. I'm only sorry that I have plans tonight so I can't sit on my balcony and have a glass of wine.

Which means my real question is, should I spend the rest of my free afternoon attempting platinum blonde?

I second Juliana's "dooo eeeet" because the glimpses we've seen of you very blonde have looked very cool indeed.

OMG Y'ALL

The blue didn't get completely bleached out, so I am currently rocking a kind of ashy blonde lavendar and it is AWESOME.

Pics in a moment.
