Yesterday's dream involved 3 attempts on my life by a stalker rapist... each time he tried he used a different story and my name was different. The first time I was walking home from the center and he wanted to look at the bottoms of my feet... I was barefoot for some reason... that time I bashed his lights in but like the stupid people in scary movies I left his lifeless body there to come at me again. The next two times were at my parents' house wherein the last time he was at the end of the hall and I only barely had time to slow motion close the door. Woke up in the midst of trying to reach for a cordless phone while trying to keep my back against the door. Every time I knew he was a sexual predator even though he was a very kind man with misleadingly kind eyes. The eyes turned evil right before he began to attack. This dream was a direct result of having the Freecycle lady come over WAY too late and me pretending to not be there which gave her the audacity to come into my back yard. My windows were open so before and after she came I heard lots of ruffling (it was breezy) and jangling (scary scary ghost ghost ghost ghost).

How I'm doing/Main Topic: The Company and my return to constant low-grade panic
[16:18] D Leigh R: In August, we announced that we would explore strategic alternatives for First Choice Power and announce the outcome within 120 days. While we’re more than 30 days away from that target date, it has become clear in our evaluation of options that First Choice Power has more potential value to our owners through retained ownership than current market conditions would enable through a sale. As a result, we have decided to recommit ourselves to achieving that potential through continued operations. [16:18] D Leigh R: = they couldn't find a buyer
[16:21] Jaime Whitney: oh wow
[16:21] Jaime Whitney: ha
[16:21] Jaime Whitney: that's pretty bad but I like the way they worded it
[16:21] D Leigh R: hahahahha
[16:21] D Leigh R: we were waiting to see how they'd spin it
[16:21] D Leigh R: we'd already had it on good authority that they couldn't find any buyers
[16:22] Jaime Whitney: hahaha
[16:22] Jaime Whitney: that is hilarious
[16:22] Jaime Whitney: but not
[16:22] D Leigh R: Isn't it though?
[16:22] D Leigh R: the gas prices and credit crunch did a number on R-competitor too
[16:22] D Leigh R: I think T-competitor got lucky in it's sale and privatization
[16:23] D Leigh R: Our focus now will be on assisting F as it seeks ways to succeed in the developing market and reduce the volatility of its earnings. Current lower fuel costs provide us with a good platform for moving forward. [16:24] D Leigh R: so... current stock:
[16:24] D Leigh R: 3 companies I support: T, F, and E
[16:24] D Leigh R: E said they would not need us for 2009, but maybe for 2010
[16:24] D Leigh R: T is mostly outsourced
[16:25] D Leigh R: and F is the bastard step child that no one wanted
[16:25] D Leigh R: I rule at following shit around
[16:26] Jaime Whitney: :(
[16:27] D Leigh R: I think I'll soon try a life of crime
[16:27] D Leigh R: ... I mean, it's not like EVERY robber that attempts it in town gets shot, right?
[16:31] Jaime Whitney: ha
