heh, thanks megan. I just remembered it.
Seriously I sometimes scare myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In re long distance calls - years ago the place I worked would hire the teenage children of staff people to work as, basically, temps over the summer.
Oh lord -- we had a group of high school kids staying in a hotel last summer and one of them used the room phone for long distance calls. That was a HUGE to-do, as well as being a large bill.

I am scared that your skylight fell off and you climbed on the roof to tape it back on. Be careful!

your skylight fell off?!? that's scary.
but not as scary as Brenda's boss. GAHHH! Good luck, Brenda. Ew. Ack. Meh.
Also, if I could get a teensy bit of -ma, in about 40 minutes. I have a preliminary type phone interview--it's with HR, so it's more "is this position really suitable for me/do you want to pay me what I want" on my part and theirs, I expect--it's a grade lower than what I had interviewed for with the same company about a year ago in another location of theirs. And I have a lot more experience than they're asking for. OTOH, they DIDN"T hire me for the other position, so who the hell knows--if they're willing to pay me what I want, I'm not sure I care if they advertise the position oddly lowly, and then only hire people with scads more experience than they're asking for. That's on them....so we'll see...

This too! Although I realize your roof is not as high as some might be. BUT STILL.

It used to be no big deal to get on our roof and it was covered in gravel. The new house (they've now lived in it longer than the old house, but whatever) has shingles, but more of a pitch, so I hated having to go up there.
Tired, again.

Roof isn't high, so being ON it isn't scary. Climbing up the rickety ladder is the part that makes me the woozy.

I have never been on a roof. Well, a slanty house-roof. Buildings with flat roofs, yes, but that's a whole other vibe.

I gave up climbing on the roof about 10 years ago, when I found I was getting increasingly terrified by the transition from ladder to roof and back. I'm perfectly fine *on* the roof.
