I just spent way too long with a supervisor at Amazon customer service explaining why the rep who called me "Lizzie" was rude and insulting.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

World Cup Spoilers:
If the US can hold on for the next twelve minutes--eh, who am I kidding? They're getting out-shot 3:1. They'll never survive overtime at this rate.

And... over!
Spoilers: France apparently out-played the US for 2/3 of the game, but the US came back in the last 20 minutes and won 3-1. US is in the World Cup Finals for the 3rd time.

Bleargh. I just spilled a whole bunch of oil from one of those noodle bowls on my shirt. I smell like garlic oil now. And it shows big time since it's a dark shirt. Meh.

ION, work is still going well. They want me to take on some new marketing efforts and it taps into my long ago used skills as a fundraiser (organizing address lists, ranking potential customers, writing appeal letters, brochure and web designs, messaging....). They have a pink Sharpie at my desk also, so I think they are keepers.

My office's power is still out. I called my boss and was telling her how frustrated I was getting with not being able to get things done, and then I mentioned that maybe I could update stuff on our intranet if I could access it from my home computer. Turns out I can! (Me and my big mouth.)
So, after I get back from the grocery store for a restock of my fridge and freezer, I'm going to start working on updating our chapter number lists, which I've been getting behind on this past week due to working on something I cannot access from home. I'll put in four hours today, and then if the power is still out at the office tomorrow, another eight hours then. I'm still going to take the half-day I was planning on taking Friday afternoon, though, so I can get my car fixed up before seeing HP7.2.
