Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Booze? Dinner cruise or similar "experience"?

Also, imagine being 40 at your kid's wedding??

Is there any bright colored dye that will take to just my grays?

ISTG, the person who invents hair dye that only sticks to grays will make a fortune.

Punishingly Intricate

My public school had a policy against unnatural hair colors. Is that not a thing anymore?
Not in MD, at least in Frederick where my 8 year old niece has dyed green hair ( her school color) or in bmore where my 10 year old friend has had several different color streaks added to her blond hair.

Yeah, that's a tough problem. I tried it once and that's why I had to change my last name to Anderson and move to Idaho.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I had a Revenge of Matilda moment this morning when I went to comb my hair and got purple stripes in my white hair. (It washed out after a brief moment of grumpy panic.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

omg. Flight arrived around midnight. Got home a little after 1. Checked email and my work wants me to attend a 9:30 meeting. Got to sleep some time after 2. 5:30, big heavy piece of furniture falls in bedroom, waking me, husband, and the dog we're dog-sitting for. Dog is scared of noise, so it takes forever for him to calm down. No idea what time I got back to bed. Despise the whole world.

Oh dear, Dana. That is terrible.

Yeah, that's a tough problem. I tried it once and that's why I had to change my last name to Anderson and move to Idaho.

I KNEW IT.

And of course NO ONE is in the 9:30 meeting yet.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My office recently switched to a new tech support company. There have been, shall we say, issues. This morning everyone arrived to find that, due to some changes the tech support people made, we have no office email. Which has brought most of us to a standstill.

We have someone on-site working on it ... hopefully, we'll be up and running before COB today.

Yep, looks like no meeting. This is the price I pay for having fun at con, isn't it.

Jesus, Toddson. I guess you all just sit there and twiddle your thumbs all day?
