Definitely not a good sign

We have Real Orb today. I'm not sure what to do with it.

Timelies all!

Sunny here, too. Don't have any real plans today.

It's unbelievably gorgeous out.

And I have to clean house. eta: but at least I got to enjoy it with a lovely walk to the market. And fresh eastern shore strawberries, which are heaven. Had to eat a few on the way back,

That is a very high level of flakiness and non-leadership like qualities. Someone needs to sit down with him now. Even if yesterday was a bad day

It's gorgeous here, too. I've been sitting on my porch reading Harry Potter. I'm not sure what I'll do for the rest of the day.

I set up my university email account to automatically send suspected spam to a spam folder. Now, once a day, the system sends me an email listing the spam received that day. Usually, it's just one message. So I'm getting the same number of pointless emails as I was before.

It's pretty lovely here. I went running earlier, and the air was like champagne--all cool and fresh. I'll be shopping with amyth, then walking the cat, reading, doing laundry, going to the nursery. Ants have discovered my hummingbird feeder, so I need to get a water barrier. (I tried the petroleum jelly barrier earlier this week, and the little bastards just walk right over the stuff.)

I thought the a light in the basement was on, and I realized it was sun coming through the basement windows. I was seriously confused for a minute.

Liese, he didn't even call? Uggh. I hope he's just getting all his flakiness out now.

He did, but not until he was nearly there. Which means that I, who live 45 minutes away, was already on my way. And there was just no way he was going to make call if he'd left a normal time, because if he was trying to go after work, unless he left at 4:00, he couldn't get there.

It sounds like your music leader needs to learn some respect for other people's time, Liese.

Exactly this.

I hope this rehearsal was more of a hiccup than how things are going to be.

It doesn't bode well, that's for sure. And the drummer we had came up from the Valley too and I thought he was going to ride with the leader. When I asked him about it, he was all, "Well, I knew he'd be late, so I didn't want to ride with him." So it looks like it might be habitual.

Someone needs to sit down with him now. Even if yesterday was a bad day

The thing is, he's not even hired yet! Imagine what he'll be like if he knows he has the job! (At three times the salary of the guy that just quit, incidentally.)

Huh. Guess I'm not any less pissed this morning.

10 AM, and it's already warmer than it was yesterday. I may need to put on clothes and go outside.

re: the Rapture, it occurred to me that this is actually a plausible sci-fi scenario. 5000 years ago, some powerful entity finds out that something evil has nasty plans for our little planet. So he plants warnings, but he can't be too blatant else he'll trigger the event. Unfortunately, 5000 years to him is nothing, so he fails to take into account the changeableness of humanity so the message gets totally screwed up. He sends his son to try to clear up matters, but that doesn't end well, etc. etc.

I realize this sounds like the plot to Fifth Element, but it was a thought of an early Saturday morning.

re: the Rapture

Personally, I really like Wonderella's take on it: [link]
