So my boss just showed up and told me his flight was cancelled. Thirty seconds later the annoying client called me. I'm so glad my boss was there to take the call, as the annoying client denied two or three times that he had installed our program a certain way, and finally my boss figured out he did do what he said he didn't do.

I would have been pulling my hair out if I had to talk to him alone. He's also one of those clients who just keeps on talking without letting me get a word in and he goes off on tangents that have nothing to do with what we're talking about.

Or as in every year, my biggest complaint, rockers wanting to do Hollywood glamor. Why stick with the ball gown shtick? Where's the leather and silly fun?

They need to make sure Björk attends, that way you can count on at least one person being dressed as the Empire State Building or arriving in the pouch of a giant animatronic kangaroo float.

shirft, mr. flea had a job interview in Dublin in 2011, and I went along. It's a great city and I'd love to live there (assuming I didn't have to buy a house, which looked crazy). One caveat - it's really far north, so the midwinter is dark.

But their winters are like Seattle winters and not Chicago winters. (Which is hardly winter to me at all.) I was there this time two years ago and it was cool, but green.

I did get home for lunch and got a chunk of burned CDs thrown away, plus 5 paper grocery bags full of shredded paper into recycling. I broke down 4 boxes for tomorrow's recycling.

Not sure what to do with all the cds I have, I don't want to keep them, but I do not have cases anymore as I kept them in sleeves in 3 ring binders.

msbelle, do you want empty CD cases? Because I have a bunch.

But I don't have pets or kids, so I'm just going to be open to the possibility and see what happens.

That's great!

I do not know what to feed myself for lunch. Might be a vending machine meal.

K. and I were in Ireland in May and it was cool and pleasant. We were in London and Scotland two years ago in November and it was cold but not deadly, and it didn't snow. Winter is definitely cloudy and not a lot of sun, though. Based on, you know, my extensive experience.

Ugh. My massage therapist texted me and cancelled my appointment tonight because her next door neighbor tried to kill himself yesterday (she helps take care of his dogs).

I don't know what happened but the phrase "blood everywhere" was used.

Never a good phrase to encounter in real life.
