Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

wow ... I'd find that annoying for meeting a friend for lunch (in the days when we did things like that), but for a professional meeting? with someone you hope will bring in some money? I'd say unprofessional, at best, and an indicator you aren't on her priority list.

Our wings are not tired.

Wow, realtor needs to consider a different career.

Hope her cabana boy is in the market for a new house.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Oh, I doubt she'll miss us - I'm not going to be in a position to drop multiple millions on a event spacehouse overlooking the San Juans any time soon - but the other realtor I've spoken to seems to be more on the ball. I'll have a better sense after we chat tomorrow.

Hope #2 is a much better option, amyparker.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Question. If my neurologist (for the moment) has managed to fuck things up so comprehensively that my botox is 5 weeks late, they've sent a prescription with the wrong number of pills to the wrong pharmacy once, then to the right pharmacy but a new wrong number of pills, and twice called me to have discussions about scheduling that we've already had...is setting the building on fire excessive?

Obviously I will not do anything of the kind, but I've spent a lot of effort over the last five weeks trying not to stress about this, and now that I'm about to go get my botox, the stress is bubbling up.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I can think of no spitefuller curse than to hope that amy's realtor needs a neurologist and Dana's neurologist needs a realtor and somehow they find each other.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hm, the whole building might be excessive. If you can confine the fire to that office, otoh...

is setting the building on fire excessive?

Certainly Expressive!

You make me feel better about the scheduling and messaging snafus I was dealing with last week, Dana!

I missed you lot, I really did.
