I'm sorry, Maria.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Maria that sucking sucks. I hope your company knows how well you presented though.

Oh no, Maria, I'm so sorry.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
You just never know with that shit.
Exactly. We all left the room feeling good about it.
We didn't make it by one fucking point. One. Point.
Nanita, they do, because I pulled out the big guns for this one. Executive Directors and VPs were on the presentation with me. My grandboss just said it's not my fault.
Congrats on the promotion! You absolutely deserve it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, shit, Maria. I'm sorry.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I got LDB'd at my own dinner table when the SO put on an album, but at least it's an excellent version. It's the band whose show we're promoting on the 18th, so I would only have lasted until then anyway.
For vocal stuff, I'm sure there are free apps out there, but I really recommend this book by Anne Peckham, out of Berklee press. It's an excellent self study tool and comes with a cd with the exercises on it, so you can use those.

Aw, Maria. I'm so sorry.

Thanks Maria. I am glad your bigwigs are recognizing you (finally!).

Because books.
I'm so sorry, Maria. That sucks.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
And the relative has just told me I need to learn from the Creation Museum.
Um, FTR, I've been to the Creation Museum (at least, the Institute for Creation Research), a few times, when it was located just outside San Diego. I still think your relative's full of crap and behaving like a jerk. Perhaps she should be reminded that "...All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..." (Assuming she's not presently afflicted with Stage 4 Judgment Cancer).
Sheesh, people like that making the rest of us look like a-holes.
Maria, so sorry it didn't go the way you'd hoped.
