Yeah, I meant in DCJ's time zone.

ION, we finally used up the soap part of my penguin snowglobe soap, leaving just the snowglobe, which is an actual globe. It rolls around and the little sparkles swirl about inside!

Hey Hil, isn't that right by we Dcista took Nilly for dinner?

Yep, same shopping center.

I'm making sesame noodles for dinner (one of my throw-stuff-together recipes: mix peanut butter with a bit of water to get a vaguely saucy texture, add some rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, and hot sauce, mix in spaghetti - preferably the whole-grain flax-seed kind -- and top with chopped-up scallions, cucumber, carrots, red peppers, or whatever else happens to be in the fridge), and I noticed that the vinegar bottle says, "Vinegars are naturally fat-free and cholesterol-free." Which I suppose is true, but do we really need to advertise vinegar as fat-free?

Er, is the guy working? If so, "after work" would've been a better description of the time he was planning to come, but would make it not quite so ridiculous.

Though I guess where Daniel is, it's 7:30. So I'd expect him to have shown up by now, yes.

No, he was not working. originally he drove away after saying he'd be back in 15 minutes, as he had to run home and get the cash.

Then he called, left a message, I called him back and he said his brother had taken his trailer, and that he still wanted the van. he also said it would be "a couple hours." That was 11:30 Am.

I left the message for him asking "What's the holdup" at 6:30.

I left another message for him at 8:30.

It is now 9:50 PM. I sent an email to his girlfriend/wife's original email.

I think I need to send an email to the other interested buyer, who said he would buy it if it was available Saturday.

I'be already saved the draft.

Either he's a jerk, or he's been in a horrible accident. It's always hard to know how to feel in those situations.

Man, I need music advice. Don't suppose Hec is around, is he?

Today's Two Lumps must have been written with MM in mind: [link]

I got the Complete X-Files collection and I'm on the first disk of Season 1.

There's nothing like the original. I'm regretting watching these while I'm in the office alone and having to walk out to my car. This stuff is still scary.

"My girlfriend has worked for 2 1/2 years and not taken a single sick or personal day." "I work 11+ hours a day and can't take personal days."

All joking aside, that's an attitude that's really hard to fight in the Midwest. More so than other places I've lived, anyway. You may take the days you're entitled to (if you must), but there's something morally suspect about it.

Everyone is allowed to take personal days. There are laws.

In which country? Not the one Aimee's in.

DAMN that Puritan Work Ethic! It's ruined a couple of perfectly good "sick" days for me with its guilt.

Come join me on the next leg of the cruise line work. 20 hour days, 7 days a week, and I didn't even get meal breaks!
