Mal ,'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just got a text: "Hi! It's [name] from [place]! We're doing free [service you're actually interested in] at [time you can't make] and [time that you totally could]. Which time works for you?"
Is it weird that I'm ready to ignore the opportunity for this free service just because I really don't want to reward this level/type of pushy salesmanship?
Nope. Not weird.
I appreciate the validation, Dana.
I'm still torn.
That is a real dilemma.
Nice nails, Laura! That's fun.
Timelies all!
Yesterday Mr. S's behaviour at home and at school was awful. He's been suspended again. He also got hold of scissors and cut the cord for my mouse, and both cables for my printer. Is it bad that I'm looking forward to work tomorrow so I don't have to deal with him much?

Nope! Totally normal parenting impulse.
So this whole "we're going to cut the power off but we don't know when" thing is extremely frustrating.
The best part is that despite knowing for days that this would happen, PG&E's website with the maps and schedules went down under the strain, and they still haven't put the new one up. Their PR is SHIT.
... hmm, now it looks like the blackout will be at midnight. Fun.
Off to plug in devices and make sure there's a flashlight next to my bed...
If I were a customer, I'd be burning effigies in front of PGE HQ. They had HOW LONG before fire season to get this done?
Sheryl, so sorry for the current travails. Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better.
Tomorrow Step-dad is getting hearth catherization and loop thingy inserted after passing out at home. Sister is getting esophagus opened with some balloon procedure and then botox'd open since it collapsed or some such. Going to be with my sister and other sister is taking care of step-dad.
Me, working on stepping up my diet and exercise game because it is still easier to be the driver and visitor than it is being the patient!
John Bolton is now writing a book. That should be fun, except for the whole having to listen to him on his interview tour.
