I miss pneumatic tubes.

My grandma routinely made cookies for the staff at their bank branch because my grandpa would drive off with the pneumatic tube t edit cannister all the time. The staff was too nice to tell him he was banned from the drive-through, so they just put up with it, and when he returned the cannister, it often came with cookies, which I think softened their position even more.

aurelia, feel free to post on Facebook.

Steph, that is adorable and hilarious. How do you drive off with the pneumatic tube thing??

It's super easy if you are getting cash. That's very sweet to return it with cookies.

Yeah, when the pneumatic tube cannister cam back with cash or a receipt, Grandpa pulled it in the car to open it and get the contents out, and apparently just tossed the cannister on the car seat next to him.

I want to go home and sleep. My body is being stupid hormonal and I keep crying. And everything is shakey and won't be still.

It's been said before that millionaires who don't have these in their homes clearly do not know what to do with their money.

I've been in Harlan Ellison's house, which he had built to his specifications from his Star Trek and Irwin Allen TV money.

It definitely has secret passages and little tiny Alice in Wonderland doors, and an Art Deco diner booth for breakfast etc.

I am in the office alone and so I'm trying to get things done, but also I'm also having to answer the phones and make a bunch of phone calls, and to dial out, I have dial our area code each time, which is 919. Since I'm stressed and distracted, my finger slipped, and I accidentally dialed 911, which means that they have to send a police officer over to make sure that I'm not being coerced into saying that I'm okay and that it was a mistake. Awesome!

The last time I did this (which was the first time I had ever done this, which is a miracle) was a few weeks ago, when I was also alone in the office and trying to do a million things at once, and when the officer came by, I asked how often campus police have to go around and do this. He said that it was his eighth call that day, and it was only 11:00 a.m., and that was just him, that there were other officers doing it as well. I bet they suuuuuuper wish we had a different area code.

Now I have to miss a meeting because I have to wait for the cops to come by. Yay.

I'm sorry, msbelle. That's a horrible feeling.

Hec, that's awesome.

Ugh, amyth. How annoying.
