I hear the phrase "the day compares" as a kind of existential sigh.
I'm off to sell some CDs because we have no moneys. I was able to scrape Emmett's lunch money today together out of belly lint and match sticks and bus tokens. Tomorrow: there will be blood (donations). Or not.

We just had a, well, more than a kerfuffle in the office. Some people have company credit cards, intended to be used for company expenses only (travel, meals, etc.). Well, one person got confused and used it for a personal expense; she apologized and promptly made out a check for the amount charged and gave it to the financial person. The financial person who's resigned and is currently coming in to the office a couple of days a week as a consultant to help the new financial person find her feet. Well, the "old" financial person decided that the person with the card needed to be made an example of and went to her boss, who's the #2 person in the office hierarchy. Made a fuss about it. Which wouldn't have been so bad, except that (a) almost everyone who has a company card has on occasion used it for personal expenses and (b) at least one person has several hundred dollars in personal expenses on a card and hasn't made any attempt to pay it back for something like six months.
There was yelling and slamming of doors. (I'm very grateful to have been merely an observer.)
Argh. Why with the melodrama? Why must there be melodrama?
I know, I know. It's high school. But there so hasn't been any up till now!
Nonsense. This is the best Swedish Chef scene.
I was very excited about the new blogging gig I'm gonna get. But now, I'm thinking "I'm supposed to use my ties to the disability community...*what* ties to the disability community?"
Even other disabled people think I am a freak.
Which is not exactly really *cultural* like Sunil's thing, but in a way I relate.
I didn't say best - I said my favorite!
