I wrote this post on Friday, only to have our Internet connection go down for the rest of the day. Ed (our previous IT guy) used to blame it on a “wire” being cut in San Antonio. I’m not sure if Techy boy even offered an explanation, but I guarantee that Owner was peeved when our IT staff of one left the office early on Friday. A little catching up now….
We’re having an off-site bridal shower today for one of our Crazy Land employees. I am so not in the mood. Nothing like spending a couple of hours with Crazy Employee and the Foot Lady. Obviously, I need to work on cultivating a more positive attitude about this.
The Information Superhighway, the Ladies’ Man and I just spent about ninety minutes talking about the Superhighway’s husband. He still hasn’t gotten a job, but he suggested last night that they drive a friend of theirs to Canada, then come back via the East Coast. Yes, that’s sane.
Hemorrhoid Guy is out playing golf with Mr. Moneybags and the Golf Pro. H.G. called me this morning to point out that we all owe him now for getting Moneybags out of the office all day. I’m sorry for the Hemorrhoid, but I take some wicked pleasure that the Golf Pro and Mr. Moneybags are having to spend the day together. They hate each other. Well, everybody hates Golf Pro. Except me. I’m like Switzerland; I’m officially neutral.
My biggest concern with the shower is that Foot Lady will find an opportunity to plop her foot up on the table at the foofy cafe where we’re having lunch. You laugh. Do not underestimate Foot Lady’s brazenness in whipping her shoe off, hiking her foot up onto any flat surface and launching into a recitation of her most recent woes. She seems to believe that viewing the foot is the only way we can fully appreciate the sorry condition of her feet. Sometimes I wonder if complete strangers at the grocery store, for instance, are treated to a lesson in podiatry complete with visual aids.
Monday, I’ll be in Houston once again. I’m having the tattoo done finally. I also have an appointment with an internal medicine physician to talk about pain and fatigue.
