Ugh, Kat, that sucks a lot.

I've been in a grumpy mood today--yesterday's date who gave me a hug at the end but did not seem at all interested in doing more? Texted me this morning! WTF? ...but then when I responded, has not texted since. Who the hell knows. I slept terribly. The kitten is not gaining weight. I'm sore in various places, none of which are the place I"m getting physical therapy for. I want to have a magic way to get down to Portland and hang out with the 23 year old, because it would be fun and I wouldn't otherwise be able to see her for a few weeks. I accidentally didn't cancel this week's Blue Apron even though I went on there a few days ago to do just that, so I'm getting a shipment of food tomorrow that I don't want/don't really have time to make. GRR.

Kat, that sucks. If I had a spare iPhone, I'd send it to you.

Let's just burn it all down, shrift. 7 weeks in to major issues, now let's form a tiger team.

Yaasssss.

Bev, I didn't get to see JDM. He was only there on Sunday and his autograph and photo prices were the highest. The lines were long and the people I talked to who had met him gave glowing reviews.

I have another fun story from the night with Barrowman. The event was in a third floor ballroom of a hotel. The room had one wall of glass that opened up to a patio and gave us a view of the hotel next door. Part way through, the folk behind me yelled "naked lady" and sure enough, there was a woman striped down, visible through the windows. John ran out on the patio to look but she had disappeared by then, so he went on with his stories.

A bit late from behind me there came "she's back". John ran out again and she appeared to be priming in a mirror, not realizing she had an audience. John tried whistling into his mic to get her attention to no avail. His security guy gave him a flashlight which he flashed across her window. It worked cause you could see her look and then drop to the floor. She tried to slink down the wall to the window to drop the blinds, but those windows are the full width of the room, so we saw every step of her naked progress.

John laughed so hard and doubled over again after a rep from our hotel told him something. He asked her to repeat into the mic "if we get a call from that hotel I'm having you (John) answer it". "No problem".

I just checked into my hotel room and step one was closing the drapes.

Oh god, that would be so horribly embarrassing!

Does anyone else think it is odd that Kareem Abdul Jabbar wrote a fiction book about Mycroft Holmes? [link]

meara, at least she was far enough away that we couldn't see anything that would allow us to be able to identify her beyond "naked lady".

He is an interesting dude!

I have a rule of thumb that if you're going to be naked in front of an open window, you should be prepared for people to see you. Call me crazy?

Making pretty charts is a low priority when I can barely keep the system functioning. Deal with it.

Yeah, in Chicago my office building was across the street from a hotel, and occasionally you'd be in a meeting and see some questionable stuff. People forget that if they can see out, others can see in those windows.

Ha ha, bitter high five. I have a training on my calendar this week on how to make better presentations.
