GC, couldn't be happier for you and GF!

Argh. Just got a letter from the unemployment office that I failed to turn up for a...something. On some day last week. They don't say when.

I would've GONE to whatever, last week, but never GOT a notice saying to show up anywhere! Grrr.

I feel I deserve the cupcakes I am now making. Harumph.

pokes head in..

Hi, everyone! So, this whole b.org blocked at work thing really blows. By the time I get home, I don't really want to get on the 'puter. But, I miss you all and think of you often and occassionally read 'n lurk.

sloppy kisses all around!

A friend, a college professor is moving to Japan for nine months as part of an exchange program. I already got him the lonely planet travel guide to Japan. Any suggestions as to one additional gift? Something useful in Japan. Maybe I should post a query in tech to find a list of cool tech he can pick up there cheaper than here, or can't get here at all.

Does he have a Flickr account or something like that? That would encourage documenting the trip. DH lived there for 3 years so I'll ask him if he has any thoughts.

March strikes again. Notice in the mailbox says that the IRS has sent ND a certified letter. I have to go get it tomorrow. I have a bad feeling about this.

ETA: Oh wait, it gets better. ND either has to go get it himself or sign the slip saying I can go get it for him. I have a feeling that this is not something that should wait for several weeks, and it should definitely not get returned to sender.

Okay, I realise that this is UNSPEAKABLY PATHETIC, but I have to come and squee in a really teenage fashion.

See the cute boy I mentioned the other day? With the flirtage? Well, he just phoned me to ask whether he could use our school for a rehearsal. People quite often do, and presumably they arrange this via the office, as I've never had anything to do with arranging it - so I'm all craply blushy and squeeish and stuff about the fact that he went and tracked down my phone number to call me about it, rather than calling the office.

I know. I know. It's really sad to read anything into this. But, you know - unexpected flirty phone conversation! Yay! And now I have his number! I can totally engage in random textual intercourse!

Now is the time on Sprockets when we SQUEEEEEE!

I know. I know. It's really sad to read anything into this.

I don't know anything of the sort. I think that's great!

Oof, Drew, hope it isn't bad news. Also hope the letter thing works out before returning to sender.

Everyone and their mother is at the laundromat tonight. Don't they know I come here this late to avoid the crowd? Sheesh. Now it will take me at least 2x longer. Although if I get enough washed for tomorrow I might just bag the rest for later.

Fay, you are adorable, and "textual intercourse" is my new favorite phrase in the history of phrases.
