So we're having a tea at Jane Austen on Saturday, and you had to make a reservation by Wednesday/yesterday.  I sent three emails to the group to remind them of this; one at the beginning of the month, one a week from the particular Wednesday, and one on the Tuesday before.  And what should show up in my inbox this afternoon?  A full fourteen hours ( Read more... )

You know, it would awesome if work would stop trying to kill me every day.  I really do not want to go in tomorrow because if the last two weeks are anything to go by, tomorrow will start off with horrible, ugly surprises that I do not want.  Like the two user ids that needed to be set up today, that were sent in last Tuesday.  Ugh.  No more.  I ( Read more... )

Okay, I managed to go probably about 60 hours without having a moment of painful awkwardness until last night's swing dancing.  This time it was so-worried-about-saying-something-wrong-that-I-can't-speak awkward.  Ugh, I swear, I'm going to choke on my own awkward neuroses one of these days.  Can you do that?  Death by self-inflicted awkwardness ( Read more... )

Hey, guys.  Boy, has this been a lame week!  Well, it started off okay, but after Wednesday, things just started to be dull.  And I was so psyched for swing dancing last night, and I could barely make it to eleven.  I've also discovered a new rule for single girls: do not trust men in bad hats!  Silly hats, unusual hats, innocuous hats, those are ( Read more... )

Man, my computer is getting slow.  I think it's taken me twenty minutes to set up my music for this post and get this page to load.  Oy.  Anyway, the week wasn't so bad except everyone at work was grumpy Thursday and Friday.  I was having a perfectly amicable Thursday and then I went to see how Brian was doing, and he was in a bad mood, and my ( Read more... )

Ugh, I had a miserable day today.  I don't even feel like talking about it much, since all I do on here is complain anyway.  Just rest assured that my job still sucks royally.  I wish I had more deskspace so I could *faceplant* at work more often.  Or at home.  That'll work too.  I'm so disappointed...and I feel like a complete idiot, but what else ( Read more... )

Yes, it's snowing again.  I need my best friend not to see her shadow on her birthday so that spring can some way earlier this year than it did last year.  Gaz ( Read more... )

Inane things I heard about this week:

One can still be excommunicated by the Catholic Church, and for of all things, money.  What's up with that?  I can understand if you're a repeated Commandment offender or something like that, but seriously, investing unwisely will get you thrown out of God's house?  If you're funding a drug running outfit or  ( Read more... )
