The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Could you spare some stinkeye this way?

Absolutely, especially now that Tom doesn't need any.

I had a blerghy work thing today too. Must be the day for it.

Sigh. I just read my brother's facebook page. He insists that he's not voting, so it's OK that he's posting all this crazy anti-Obama stuff, becuase all his friends are liberals and he just wants us to "think about it". I'm just like "DUDE. What are you SMOKING??? Why are you eating this shit up? And how did my sister and I emerge from our dad's crazy conservativism all hopped up and raging Democrats, and you....you....WTF????"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Speaking of pronunciation, we are having a pub quiz at our company meeting tomorrow. The tie-breaking question will involve either pronouncing or spelling my last name.

How do you say your last name? Is the last syllable in english or polish? If you know what I mean....

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I left my cellphone (a $349.00 T-mobile wing with internet and email) in the bathroom in the lobby of the hospital at 6:30 this morning, I think. No one has turned it in. I am still here at work working, and I am quite upset. I know it is because I am so tired-- it isn't even theatre, I haven't even had a chance to go there, and I am going to end up doing all the sewing in the one day before tech.

I was going to come in late tomorrow and work at the theatre, but I am so tired I can't think of things I can leave for my student minion....

In the US, I say it Americanized. I wanted to switch at some point to the Polish pronunciation, but habit is a hard thing to break.

In France, people don't even blink, and pretty much everyone pronounces it in a consistent Frenchified Polish version.

Here, most people don't attempt it on sight. In airports, conferences, etc., I'm consistently interrupting the inevitable pause after the first syllable to say it myself.

ETA: Really, it's easier than it seems at first, being only 3 syllables.

Yup. It is out of battery (I have to charge it during the day or it will run out just from sitting). I left my name and office extension with security and I tried calling the visitor information desk by the bathroom I used, but they are closed now. I also went back to the bathroom. Aargh. So angry.

OK, then it doesn't seem overly complicated. My best friend growing up said her Polish last name in a Polish fashion (Americanized, I'm sure, but still), but her cousins said it straight English.

Ugh, Sophia, what a nightmare.

It is my own damn fault. That is just the last place I remember having it, and it is not in my purse, my desk, my pockets or my laptop bag. I am pretty sure I sat it on the tampon container thingie, but really it could be anywhere, even in my office. It is not a good time to be without a phone for me (this replaced my landline), so I think I am going to have to order the cheapest phone they have if it does not come back tomorrow, and downgrade my plan just so I can have a phone....
