What worries me is I have an early afternoon launch meeting for a new project I'll be working on the next few months. Crossing my fingers it's not run by Murphy's Law.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.
'Get It Done'

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fingers crossed for you Matt!
I'm glad Jesse you had the same reaction to the drugs/floor thing. I figured you would.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
In "Why Me?" news- my landlord did not get my rent check this month. I sent it late, and my bank sends it (I don't have checks), so I chose "Send by Courier". They send a cashiers check via FedEx, and it is supposed to be signed for or they don't leave it.
The tracking says that it was left by FedEx at the "front door" and no signature was required. The bank can't cancel the check because it is a cashiers check, and so they either need to take 3 -4 days to investigate and then decide if they give me the money back, at which point they send me a claim to fill out which I have to sign and HAVE NOTORIZED! Or I can wait 90 days to see if it is cashed. My landlord wants their money!
I went to take my rent out of the ATM to get a money order to send them, but it won't let me take out that much money. Which is maybe good, because it will leave me with no money to eat/live until I get the rent money back from the bank (if I do).
Also, I am just laughably poor, because this $525 unexpected outgo is killing me!

Y'all are definitely making me want to watch Crazy Ex-girlfriend.
I watched the pilot yesterday because it was about to expire from Hulu, and I loved it.
I was watching crazy ex girlfriend (because I was wrong about when Jane the virgin started). And next week's episode preview involved someone saying "you don't take a pill because it's on the bathroom floor! Because it's next to the toilet!" Or something. And all I could think was "it was white and looked like a tooth and so I ate it!"
Heh. I haven't seen that yet.
Ugh, Sophia and Matt. I'm sorry your Tuesday is acting like a Monday.
ltc has an eye infection, and I'm exhausted and cranky. My in-laws are coming by and I so don't feel like being a sociable hostess.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, god, Sophia, what a nightmare! If they didn't require a signature and they were supposed to you should be reimbursed by somebody! THis is in no way your fault and someone should be jumping through hoops of flame to fix it for you. WTF?!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Definitely, what -t said. They messed up. They should pay for it.
Our garage door is apparently rotting right off the motor. So, we're not using it while we wait for an estimate for replacing it. Luckily we have too much junk in our garage to park either car in there anyway.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is a nightmare, Sophia! I'd push harder on the bank on this.

Man, I was going to complain about having to wait for bloodwork and then my shuttle being suuuper late, but Matt and Sophia definitely have me beat on Turd Tuesdays.

My meeting did go fine and I now have my spare on the car, albeit in urgent need of airing up. (I called my mechanic for a service call to change it since I'm wimpy about using my dimestore jack on an inclined surface—rightly so as it turns out, he said my car started sliding off his pro-grade jack.)
