That was amazing.
I'm now annoyed that they told me it would get sunny today, and it hasn't.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

I'm also disappointed that this article that claims to be about the Pope dropping the F-bomb is actually about a mispronunciation: [link]

I have a call later today, and I'm not looking forward to it. Well, I'd be looking forward to it if I could just loudly say "NOOOOPE" when the client asks to do the thing and have it end there, but I'm expecting this conversation to be more like having an argument with a five-year-old.

Ah well. Too bad you don't get to be the five year old in that conversation.

I never get to be the five year old. I wasn't even the five year old when I was five years old.

I just took 10 boxes of books out of my sister's apartment and donated them to the library. Ooph. Although that was only mildly onerous, and mostly that was just the heavy lifting. The onerous part was talking to her neighbor, to whom she owed $5000. Said neighbor wants to know why probate is taking so long, and if perhaps I might want to fix the situation by oh, say, giving her my own money and just getting it refunded by my inheritance. Reminded her I wasn't likely to inherit anything from the estate, but that I would see if there was any way to speed along the money she was owed.

Because books.
Ugh, Burrell. That's awful.

Had a good talk with ED about boss lady. He basically agreed with me in my hope that she would stay gone on vacation and never come back. He's going to put the screws to her about honoring her contract to work a full day every Saturday, so hopefully this will help her along in quitting.
So I feel good about that, and then got an extra bonus in that her flight was cancelled and she won't be back this week at all. I was a bit immature with my giddy relief about it.

What is probate, anyway? I'm pretty sure my grandmother's estate didn't go through it. Possibly because all of her accounts we co-signed by either my mother or my aunt? I'm pretty sure we just proceeded with closing accounts and paying bills and handing out stuff and etc.
