I hate running errands.

It takes too long. But at least I got lots of things out of the way. I bought the discount tickets for Lilac and me to go to Pirates tomorrow. I went to Office Max and picked up a photo mailer and other mailing supplies to send out the t-shirts. Then I went to Best […]

The Nimbus Ship Debate Transcript. Okay, reading that is SCARY for me. Thanks so much to Zorb for taping, transcribing, and posting it for your reading pleasure. The tape recorder cut out during my closing statement. Unfortunately, my mind has almost completely blanked out on the whole episode, so I honestly can’t remember what else […]

Long-overdue Update

September 21st, 2003 · 2 Comments

Sorry I haven’t updated. I just haven’t been in the mood. Don’t know why. Friday was incredibly busy. Had two co-workers call in sick– one in each of my jobs. Plus my other coworker is still out because of her broken ankle. That left only me on the switchboard. Little old me, not been there […]
