I'm confused about this Jillifont costume: [link] That's WAY too many legs.

I have an assigned task that I think isn't what we should do (I get to argue a lot more in this role), and I haven't yet been sent the source material to edit. I'm lacking in oomph, but this needs to be done by 11:30. Oof.

Ugh, it's pouring rain, and I have an appointment later that is not that easy to get to via public transportation (like getting nearly anywhere from my office), so I think I'm going to take a cab. I just took a cab on Wednesday! This is more cabs than I've taken all year.

Got three emails for my electric bill. One was I owed almost $400, another that I had a balance of $2, and the next that I had a balance of $55. They were all sent at the same time! But the top two in my inbox were the ones where I didn't have to pay nothing, so I'm going with that.

Stayed home sick today, which, yay no walking in the rain! But, my tummy is very not happy with me.

Julie - I would call the electric company. that doesn't sound like something to ignore.

obviously, somebody made a mistake, but which one? Actually, changing my doctor to the same one as my mom's was not as hard as I feared. Automated system was sort of difficult to use, but did cut down on hold time,

tumblrs that do not update everyday make me sad.

Julie, I second what msbelle said. Do not ignore. Also? make sure to note time, day, duration of call, and the names of all representatives to whom you speak. If this becomes a clusterfuck, good documentation may prove that the screwing around was not on your part.

All sorted. The lady on the phone kept saying "this makes no sense, why did they do this?". The big number was, oddly, the total of a payment plan I'd already set up to pay off over the course of 6 months, yet they'd lumped it back at me. So I don't have to pay anything this month (but I will, just to reduce the future months installments).

Burrell, I have Noah at work today and Grace on Monday. Maybe.

AM TIRED.

Also, Rick's story about the blocks reminded me: I was listening to something about gendered play on NPR and there was a study that said if teachers put blocks on a table and not the floor, girls are more likely to play with them. I wonder why?
