Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I have this constant problem with my boss that she never sees - claims never to have received - my e-mails. And, like yesterday, I get a reproving e-mail along the lines of "are you done with that? I really need it soon" to which I can only reply, "I sent it to you two hours ago; here it is again".

Now, after I send her anything by e-mail, I have to schlep down to her office and - if she's in and not on the phone (which is about 10% of the time) - tell her I've sent her the information.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The thing about the set I'm getting my sister--it's a full Scrabble set. 100 letters, plus special tiles.

Yeah, what I meant to say was: That sounds awesome, and I hope other people don't make the same mistake I did!!

Toddson, I would be looking for another job. When you tell her you've sent something, can she see the emails then?

Our neighbors told us about their swim club and suggested we join this summer. I looked it up and there's a $1000 initiation fee and it's $475 a year. A family membership at the city pool that's nearer, though probably not as nice? $65. How do people afford this shit? I mean, we're well off, but $1475 to go to a pool for the summer?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Toddson, I was having that problem with my boss and manager. I got a terse email (probably the most terse I've gotten) telling me not to send mixed messages to the vendor, since she worked hours on her email to him--but I sent my email to him and her before she even started, plus I told her I had. I mean, I can see if she doesn't want me to do it, but she can't blame me for wasted work--it was in her inbox first.

And my boss keeps saying "That's not in the document." But he also keeps saying "I didn't like the document, so I didn't read it" and it makes me feel kind of awkward to walk him to the parts of the document that he insists don't exist. But it's not my document, and I feel like I must defend the author.

BevDog - did you send me an email? It looks like a spambot got in your account.

ION - FRIDAY!

rainy chilly friday here, but still FRIDAY! I just want to sleep.

I told the dog owner that we could not keep her forever, so she wants to start looking for a new permenant home for the dog. Sad, but mac is COMPLETELY over having a dog and does not want anything to do with the care and upkeep. I think it was good for us to sit her, because he now knows that a large dog is not what he wants, and definately not a large puppy. He HATES being jumped on.

OH! Also.

Happy to report that mac did fine getting to soccer practice last night and he took some of my suggestions to heart (even though on Tuesday he was screaming at me for making them). He showed a lot more effort and did not remove himself from the group as much. I gave him mad props.
