Well, ok, I lied about not coming back 'till Sunday!!! Was hoping to get my stuff done today as it's early deadline time, but tomorrow sounds good. Procrastination is always good.
Punkin: Thou be right, Amarantha DID mean the shortest day o' the year!!! Longest night!!! Amarantha be just testing thee!
Sticking out fingers, etc., be not an option as I never see this woman. She works in an office 80 miles away and started our relationship by standing me up after I was hired (rehired, actually, as I've worked for this publisher longer than she has) and when I called her to tell her I'd been hired to help out, she threw a fit, asked why they were doing this to her, weren't they satisified with her, etc. ... then when I calmed her down and said I wasn't out for her job or anything as I lived 80 miles away and didn't want it anyway, she said well we should get our heads together and brainstorm ideas, we made an appointment, & I drove 80 miles down and she stood me up and I drove 80 miles back ... when I did complain about this to the publisher, she said that we didn't have an appointment, I was mistaken ... it's gone downhill from there ... she never comes into work before 3 p.m. but sends me emails asking me to come down so we can have lunch and put our heads together and when I tell her nicely that I can't drive all that way so late in the day she takes it as a threat and starts messing with my copy again ... urgh ... sorry, venting.
Arabella: Thou be right, the calories should be shipped directly to the person responsible. Kind of like e-commerce, where the merchant doesn't ever see the stuff she's selling. Urgh!
Autumn: I envy thee the gift of still being able to see Christmas through children's eyes! We should all try to retain that magic as we get older!!!
I'm experimenting with the dropping of the POINTS system! Wrote about it in the journal, so won't bore anyone with it. I'm on a two-day 1500 calorie blitz, not worrying about exercise right now; if I do it, I do it, but deadline stress and writer's block be in the way at the moment.
Hard to believe Amarantha gets writer's block, since she be able to ramble on here for ages, but work is different, somehow.
Arabella: I have been thinking that I don't believe I've seen a crow since living in Arizona. I think we must not have them here. I'll have to ask someone!
Ok, bye!
