    And there's a problem with the menu? What time is dinner?

    ((redrhodie))--that's a big mix of stuff. I'm amazed at how clearly and simply you can articulate those issues.

    Let's all just drop in at Oak's house for seafood and then we'll leave.

    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Ha! Spellcheck is a wisenheimer. It likes to put 'a$$' in place of 'was' for me. It's only a matter of time before that bites me in the rear.

    The old friend and I exchanged emails. She said she loves and misses me, and is there if I need her. I wished her a happy birthday and said I didn't feel like talking. I'm not sure where it goes from here. I'm letting it rest for now.

    Went to the house inspection with DS and DIL. As I spent 2+ hours going through the process with them, I thought, how can this be? In my mind, my son is still 3 years old! Ack, it made me feel really old.
    Which of course necessitated DH and I going out to dinner at an awesome Argentinian restaurant.

    to whom it may concern
    ok, so last week we broke my weekly bike commute because of totally ridiculous weather every single day. So this morning is the first dry morning (ie not raining/snowing) in almost 2 weeks and what, it's 29 degrees? My poor bike is groaning and moaning while my leg muscles quickly recede. ENOUGH already!!!!!!!

    Quit complaining - it could be worse. Beautiful weather, then lots of wind, then lots of snow (at least 2 feet) at my house. Just barely got out of my neighborhood by about 9:00 today in my subaru!

    Dear Allergies,

    Seriously?!?! You hit me so hard I feel like I have the flu... in March???

    Please, for the sake of all that's good and right in the world, give me a break, I have enough on my plate dealing with my mom... and because of that have ZERO sick leave left.

    I'm begging you.

    Dear AT&T

    Dear Team,

    Good morning! I resign as of today.

    I will miss all of you. I will even miss most but not all of our customers as well as most but not all of management.

    I started with Pacific Bell in collections, transferred to Disabled and Elderly in ’96 where we did a ton of good and had a ton of fun helping customers.

    Now in a different department.

    Meanwhile back “in real life” KnottedYet and I met in ’06. I know you told me “no dating outside of the local calling area”. Two years later she proposed on the golden Gate bridge on midsummer’s day! We got married in our church in October of 08.

    So I’ve been trying to transfer to Seattle for a long time.

    I’d like to have been able to stay with my AT&T family. I gave it the ol' college try, really I did. I tried all means of transferring and even some processes you can't imagine; followed the rules, broke the rules, looked outside of the company of course ... it was not to be. I'm missing opportunities with other companies which I know I'd get if I was right there.

    I GIVE UP! Not on my long distance marriage, on you.

    So today was my last day of work at da' phone company at least for now.

    Tenants are moving into the condo, I'm moving out, I'm now "gainfully unemployed" and moving to live with my wife.
