  • I'm moving tomorrow, but not until the afternoon. I'll probably still be really busy in the morning and everything, so I may be offline for a day or two. I don't know how long it will take me to set up the network at …

  • Well, I won, 4-6, 6-2, 6-0. She played one of those aggravatingly slow games and it took me a while to adjust to it. Her serve was so slow that I finally ended up standing about a half step off the service line to re…

  • Well, wish me luck. I'm off to a singles match in about 45 minutes. I worked really hard yesterday, packing and stuff, and got a pretty decent night's sleep, and the weather is cool this morning so I'm feeling good ab…

  • I'm writing this mainly because I want Jill Newman to Google her way here, maybe, someday. I'm also writing it because I'm writing a story about something that happened years ago, in which Jill Newman played an impor…

  • I'm so tired I feel like the walking dead. I'm supposed to play tennis tonight but am waiting for Mike to call back to let me know for sure. I hope we don't. I have a singles match Sunday, and a doubles ma…

  • Wow, what a difference a day makes, not to mention a few drinks. No, I actually just had one drink, with dinner. I figured out late in the day yesterday that Mr. S was actually mad at The Shrew. I don't know how …

  • I don't have much time to write at the moment, but I may not feel like it when I get home tonight. I'm having the worst day. I thought yesterday was the worst day, but this is actually worse. I just can't even go i…

  • I got off work early yesterday, at about 12:30, because the copy machine wasn't working and my boss is a drama queen. We didn't really need the copy machine or anything, but he wanted to tell Xerox that we had to shut…

  • More things that are pissing me off Verizon: I don't believe an explanation is necessary. But don't you think it's a miracle that they have so many abject morons in one place? They must hold job fairs at the DMV. …

  • Things that are pissing me off Mr. S: The man cannot make up his freaking mind. I've been working on editing a photo for him, a group photo with the people's names added. It's a large group and a lot of name…

  • Heh. Lucky socks. I bought 'em, a pair of Wigwam socks, the same kind I had in high school. I drove to the tennis court in my sandals and then was going to put on my socks and shoes in the car. When I picked up my…

  • Gah, I just lost the post it took me 25 minutes to write. To summarize: 1. Mike, my tennis partner sort of has two personalities. I only like one of them. 2. Alan Jackson Sucks (capital S). I'm going to stop lis…

  • Credit Where Credit is Due I got a nice e-mail yesterday from the "other side" of the deal Mr. S and I did last week. You know, the one I worked almost double time to accomplish. I missed tennis, missed time with my…

  • Wow, it was one of those weekends that seems to be gone in a second. I got off work at noon on Friday, which was nice but not exactly equitable, and ran errands. I picked up some demo tennis racquets, went to the post…

  • House Update Keep in mind that everything is covered with dust from the drywall, and that it's not finished by a longshot. I like the tile, but think I will like it more when the appliances are in. Everyone else we…

  • As of last night when I left, I'd worked 45 hours this week and I also took Monday of for the holiday. Mr. S promised me that if we finished things up last night, I could have the days off as an "incentive." (Great in…

  • Hi, I'm working a lot right now. I'm under extreme pressure to finish a project TODAY. Which would technically be possible if Mr. S didn't change his mind every 45 seconds. I had monday off and have worked 8 a.m.-…
