Celeste and I are working on a directory of our investors. She compiles the thing. I format it. We hit a little snag when one of the investors, Jack, has 2 email addresses that are essentially the same. With just that one extra line, I couldn’t fit 4 profiles in a row. Celeste: Well, I called Jack and he said to use the first email address. Me: Okee dokey. *deletes the other email address* Ahh…see that looks better now. Yey! Celeste: See? I was that one line that jacking us up. Me: *snort* *giggle* Celeste: What? … Oh....

Briefly before I go *snap!*

Yesterday, we celebrated the first meeting of 2006 for my office’s Alcoholic Unanimous group. Pretty much me and a few other coworkers conjured up a core group to drag everyone with us for a monthly happy hour outting. Today, we celebrated the first meeting of 2006 for our girl’s night out dinner. That’s me and 5 other girls who have all become friends through our husbands/boyfriend. Today, also, I just finished an apartment application for a place in Los Alamitos. Also, signed the 30-day notice to our current landlord. There’s a good chance we’d have to eat next month’s rent...

Wound Up

I’m wound up tighter than the San Andreas fault. 1. Have a project I must get done before I go home (11 days!). But folks on top of the food chains seem to have a different idea. So, out the window with my supposed priority number one. Oh yeah, then there’s the big melt down of the chain of command today that frustrated almost everyone involved.
