We're babysitting for G tonight. TCG is reading him a book. It's beyond adorable.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hill, do you actually have to sign a contract by May 1, or just let them know whether you intend to return?
Well, I was supposed to sign the contract by April 15 if I wanted to stay, but I was able to get an extension until May 1.

Hil, I'm hoping you get a great new job before you have to sign.

Glad to hear things are okay with your dad, Maria. Damn.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Thanks to all of you!
His heart is enlarged but there's no signs of disease. No blockages and no twisting. He's on a restricted diet, which he's not pleased about, and he's going to have a full work up with the family doc. I'm glad it wasn't more serious but I've really had enough excitement to last me a lifetime.

I'm glad it wasn't a heart attack, Maria.
G has been picked up, and I am going to bed.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Relief! The same thing's happened with my dad, and it was pretty scary

Thrive to spite them
I should be in bed since I'm opening in the morning, and I closed tonight.
There are two phone calls that were kind of over the top. One woman was mad because she bought a computer FOUR years ago and the virus protection wasn't renewed and it's all our fault. I guess she was auto renewing and then it stopped and so there was 5 months without protection and she wants 5 months free. From Best buy. Not the company that makes the software because "I've only dealt with you and you sold it to me". Yeah, well it's not our responsiblity to make sure your stuff is up to date.
And then someone called to ask about our price match policy. Okay fine.
But he wanted to "price match" an Amazon gift card. Basically he claimed to have an Amazon gift card, only he didn't want to shop with them "I only want to buy from you" but only if we'd knock $45 off the price of the item he wanted as a "price match."
