Things That Are Awesome

1. Planned Thanksgiving dinner for the family with my grandmother last night in 7 minutes. From start of planning to when everyone knew what they were making (as calling people takes longer than that): 25 minutes.

2. This weekend, because the race was boring and bubblesbrnaid was not with me (wails), I wrote three cover letters that are customizable.

3. Today's lunch is (supposedly) great Asian. I've already looked at the menu and they do have Thai (but lots of Chinese, ick), so I'm good. I hope.

4. I have found several recipes for Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles). I'm hoping to make some over Thanksgiving.

5. tenel will be in town tomorrow.

6. Yuletide research is going well.

Things That Are Not Awesome

1. On the first day of wearing my new boots, the boss wants me to deliver something. Four blocks down the street and over railroad tracks. Which is why I now have a swollen ankle from rolling it. And I had to wear flats and a brace.

2. PMS is making me a hungry bitch. I've put on 4 pounds in the last few days.

3. My sister wants me to go out for her birthday. Of course she schedules it for THIS weekend, when I already have plans (as tenel, bubblesbrnaid and eliz are way more awesome than my sister). What you want to bet she'll be distant and bitchy to me at Thanksgiving because I said no?

4. My grandmother weasled the green beans away from me for Thanksgiving dinner. Our hope was to avoid her cooking too much AND that the green beans would be the way we like them (my mother and I like them juicy, but my grandmother cooks the water out of them).

5. My dog is being particularly annoying lately. He sniffs everything on his walks, which leads to me freezing my butt off or having to drag him back inside.

6. And my freaking carpal tunnel is acting up. *headdesk* Why the hell is my left hand killing me when I've been good to it of late?

You got the machines?

ME: XYZ Company

LADY: Hi, yes. I need talk to someone about the machines...reader? Root. Yeah, the machines are...the machines.

ME: (Actually not surprised, as we get calls about "machines" quite often. Usually it ends up being in reference to a time clock company.) Actually ma'am, we're an advertising agency. You have the wrong number.

LADY: Oh, you do the advertising? Do you have a number for the people about the machines?

ME: Um, we don't have anything to do with machines, so I don't have a number to give you.

LADY: Okay, but I just need the number for the machines. You do the advertising, do you have that number?

ME: We don't do the advertising for whoever this is. I don't even know what machines you're talking about. It could be a car, it could be a copier, it could be a coffee maker. I have no knowledge of the machines. I'm sorry.

LADY: But don't you have the number?

ME: *click*
