Skype interview went OK, I think. Not great.

I am rolling my eyes so hard at the facebook group for the town where I grew up. Someone posted, asking, "Where can I buy a good pair of stockings?" Some people commented with specific stores (which are generally the stores where you would buy stockings -- the department stores in the mall and stuff.) Someone else commented, "Any grocery store in America?" Original poster: "if you read my post I said "a good pair" not a cheap pair from the supermarket that people probably use for arts and crafts." This is a thing now? Stocking snobbery? And someone who is this much of a snob about stockings needs to ask an internet group in order to find out that you can buy them at Lord & Taylor?

How else will people know they're in the market for good stockings?

I think there's a lot of entertainment available in watching small town America on Facebook. All the town squabbles out where hte world can see.

I never understood buying expensive stockings. I've worn them before, but they get runs just as fast as the cheap ones when you're as remarkably ungraceful as I am.

Edit: Oh, and congrats on the good interview!

People can be snobby about anything.

I was expecting to get my pants from Land's End today, they were out for delivery. Now they are at the post office. I don't know why, UPS delivers here all the time. Land's end has a Today only sale on pants so I was hoping to try those on and if I liked them order another pair. Phooey.

Because sometimes UPS does this bullshit thing where they deliver it as far as your city but then don't bring it to your house and instead take it to the post office, where, if your post office is anything like mine, it takes another 3 days to MAYBE get delivered. And the thing is, if you even have the option at checkout to select your method of delivery, when you pick UPS, they don't tell you that you really just chose the unholy incompetent union of the UPS and the local post office.

I ordered some frozen meals, which are being delivered by FedEx. They were sent from Los Angeles on Monday. I got a tracking update on Tuesday saying that the package had left the facility in Los Angeles, and then nothing since then. The website says "packages are shipped on Monday for guaranteed delivery by Friday." I'm waiting to see what happens.

It shouldn't take that long, I don't actually live in a city as much as a small village that doesn't rate it's own zip code. And the post office is about 15 minutes from here so I'll be hopeful. But we'll see.

I didn't even notice an option about delivery I just picked the cheap option. UPS can get me stuff from Amazon! I should be able to get something from Lands End.

My sinuses are being evil. Breathing hurts and I don't like it.

I also got my hair cut today. Well more like reshaped. I'm late to the fauxhawk party but that's kinda what I'm rocking. I got the stylist to do the back and sides at a 3 setting on clippers. The way she cuts it -if the hair stands up there's a dip in the middle, it's there for a reason somehow it makes my hair lay right.

I think this summer I'm going to go for a 3 setting clipper all over.

I ran into this issue at Christmas. I was NOT happy.

Regarding getting a cleaning person. I looked into it when we first bought this house. We had the house cleaned professionally before we moved in and then asked for a quote to wash the hardwood floors, and all of our teeny kitchen and teenier bathroom and were quoted $160. I don't know if that is a reasonable quote or not, but it's just not doable for us even on an every other week basis. I should probably look into getting a quote from someplace else just to see.
