Please, please, don't tempt my wicked sense of humour with comments like that.

BTW, have you guys noticed how often we seem to do simultaneous coffee:ass and coffee:astounding posts? Goes to show some days are diamonds, some days are dust, but most days are a mixed bag
And, Paws, SO sorry about your girl. Asthma is horrible. I'll send up a prayer for you all.

Third year reeeeally sucks so far. 5 hours of talks today or so. Two hours of that just to set up a timetable of shows for originals season, staring at a spreadsheet with very small print projected onto the very old screen in the very badly lit theatre as no one had put the workers on the brighten up the gloom a bit.
And they gave me the wrong course handbook. Musical Theatre? Me? Pfffffft.
And I had to sit with Kirsty Wray at lunch. Course had only been up a day and a half and she was at it already with her whining
Rain...rain rain rain.....damned rain spoiled braai day for me
at least the food was still dellicious, just didn't have that bbq taste to it, but it was still delicious when it came out of the oven after grilling it.
Student loan still hasn't come in. Despite having warned my delightful landlord this, he still takes my rent money out that I owe him from the summer so I'm now considerably over my overdraft limit.
After weeks of searching, I thought I'd found an old floppy with the original of my first "Junior and Gammy" story. I had thought about submitting it to some fantasy mag. ANYway, I cannot get my laptop nor my old Win98 relic to recognize it. Usually (@n@l-retentive person that I am) I have a hard copy of all my old stories, but so far in digging thru the clutter have not found this little treasure yet.
On the "astounding coffee" side, however, my Dad says he still has DRVSPACE utility on one of his puters so maybe ... just maybe I will be able to rescue the story.
We shall keep our fingers crossed.

I was up til 7.30am being ill this morning, got sent home three minutes after arriving for work, so missed a day of wages, kept on being woken up by my housemates, and I am missing what could possibly be the best party of the year - my friend's 21st as well to boot, because I have no energy and am on the verge of being sick every half hour. I also was told to stay home from work tomorrow, so no wages then either.
And my loan (well I'd like to point out everyone elses loan is still not in, so everyone I know is suffering too) is still nowhere to be seen. Wankers.
I have to go back to school tomorrow... I've had a nice 2 week break and it's ending too damn soon. I have ballet (my teacher is hardcore) and musical theater performance IIII tomorrow. WHY ON MONDAY? *grouse and sulk*
When on the phone, "May I please speak to so-and-so?" is a yes or no question. "May I ask who's calling?" is not an answer unless it follows a "yes" or "no."
Don't ask to take a message if you're just going to hang up before the caller leaves their number.
If the caller asks to speak to someone by name and you don't speak English, don't just randomly hand the phone to anyone who might know a few words. Just say you don't speak English. But only if you really are not comfortable with the language. I can tell when a person lies about that, and there's nothing that makes me want to reach through the phone and throttle people quite like any variation on "No speak-o English." Deceit, racism, badly faked accents, and an insult to my intelligence all in one mangled sentence fragment- no thank you!
If the caller says they see that you requested being contacted, don't accuse them of lying, stealing your identity, and such unless you're really sure. (I, for one, like to help bag identity thieves, but can't help you tip off the FBI if you're too busy accusing me of being one to accept my help.) And if you don't want people to call you, for the sake of all that is holy, be careful what you click and DON'T GIVE OUT YOUR NUMBER!
If you have an answering machine greeting along the lines of "Hello? Hello? What's up? Ha! Fooled you! Leave a message!" change it right away. It's not funny, it's not clever, it's not even remotely original, and it's annoying and a waste of time- just like the first million such answering machine greetings I've heard.
Also, if you're under the influence, you're a perv, or you think the whole world is out to get you, and the phone rings, best not to answer it.
Never ask if I know it's Sunday. Not everyone is Christian, and at any rate, the more Christian reaction would be one of compassion for those who have to spend fine weekends on the phone getting harangued to pay the bills while you get to go to church and spend time with your family.
As you can guess, I had an absolutely lovely day at work.
Meddle not with the heartstrings of fans, for we are powerful and hold your pursestrings.
Jesus crap. Government put through a sneaky little bill that means that if I'm not careful who I talk to, both me and my fiance could face a prison sentence of 3 years or more, depending.
For consensual friggin' sex.
(Not going into details to keep this clean, ask if you want details)
Oh, and the holding of certain types of pictures.
....
Yes, because clearly being given love-bites is OMG!icky.

Those who know, don't say; those who don't, say too much.

Got that at the airport. Getting a real desk tomorrow, hopefully. Would have done it today, but I had to go to the hospital... then the hospital was CLOSED so I have to go back next week. Who ever heard of a hospital that just randomly closes on a Tuesday when it isn't even a holiday or anything! (I'm not sick, it's for immigration.)
