Just found out that Sineater is going in for carpal tunnel surgery next
thurs! wow!
Have a good lunch :) It'll be nice to get away
from the loonies in the office for a bit, I'm sure!
==================
J-Law:
YAY! Hopefully, it will be something good. Narcotics. None of this
wussy extra-strong advil shizz. :)
I hope everything goes well for Sineater!!!!
=============
me:
I am sure Sineater won't call or ask for any help...but
I
could take the day off and take him to the hospital
and then back to the house to let him rest, instead
of
UBs plan to drop him at the grocery store across the
street from the hospital on her way in, and then
pick
him up after surgery and let him 'recover' in her
office. Oh well, he hasn't said anything or asked me
and I've learned the hard way that he doesn't want
me
in his business.
Oh! this is annoying--on Monday, Elena sent me a
list
of all these ridiculous newage fluffbunny UT inromal
classes & asked if I wanted to take one. I just
picked
the least-awful sounding one & we are signing up for
it (after she sent me a non working URL twice!).
"working with your spirit guides" icks. *sigh* the
things I do for my friends.
=============
--- J:
I don't like UB's plan at all. First of all, why
not drop him off right at the hospital? Surely, it
is much easier for her to swing into the driveway
near the entrance than it is for him to walk across
the street, through the grounds, through the parking
lot, etc.?!
Of course the worse part is having him "recover" in
her office when he ought to be, and would be more
comfortable, in bed at home. You know if she had
some kind of surgery, she would insist on every
comfort and convenience imaginable.
You're right not to stick your oar in... but maybe
if the family collectively said something? Not
accusatory re: UB, but something more casual like,
"let us know if you need anything," "UB, if it
might be easier if we took Sineater and picked him
up..." Or ?? Because this is not cool. Surgery,
even something as "routine" as carpal tunnel, is
serious shizz.
Love the Elena thing. Just for the record, I would
never ask you to do something like that with me...
unless, of course, we were going to get loaded, sit
in the back, and snicker the whole time. :)
=================================
me:
Well, the class is on campus, so I was thinking it might be easier to
just catch a happy hour after work and then go to campus, rather than
trying to get home, wait for Sweetie to come home, get a car, find a
parking space, bla bla. So I could totally get loaded before the
class. That is _my_ style of 'spirit guides' :P
I mentioned to UB via icq that I didn't want to be in Sineater's business
if he didn't want me there, but that I'd be more than willing to take
a day off work and run him back and forth from surgery & let him
recover in the guest bedroom.
Oh, she also says he has thyroid problems which makes him 'forget'
things and 'not hear' things. Yeah, right. Maybe the things she made
up, but nothing in this world. gah, she peeves me so much! I told her
she needed to get her thyroid checked, too, while they're at it. flew
right over her head. heh. I'm getting better at this!

J-Law sez:
Rick might finally have a new job! It sounds like it is essentially
in the bag - guy's just going to check references and Rick has to
have a physical exam, and that's it.
I agree. Happy hour is definitely the way to go. :)
Sineater doesn't have thyroid problems. He is a man, married to a
shrew. "Forgetting" and "not hearing" are adaptive mechanisms that
all such men must develop, or perish!

===================================
Well, I can think of at least two times when UB said something had
happened, and either I was there and it didn't happen that way or
some other set of reliable witnesses were there and said it didn't
happen...so the problem is her and her decidedly 'slanted'
(read 'bugfuck') worldview.
An attractive woman walks past Sineater, she's hitting on him and he's a
dishonest cheater for looking at her (whether he even noticed her or
not). A friend sits on another friend's lap in a flirtatious manner
at a party, and it's remembered by UB as the someone sitting on
Sineater's lap. I tell her she looks nice and I'm insulting her for not
wearing a bra. Someone disagrees with her and they're
'attacking' her and Sineater is a jerk for not being there to defend her
from their viciousness, even when she's the one who started the shit
and wouldn't let it drop when people tried to change the subject. bla
bla.
I'm glad Rick is moving on--I hope everything goes smoothly & the new
job is wonderful for him :)
Poly dinner was good last night-there was a big crowd. Some people
going back and forth between the poly and no kidding tables,
visiting. Amusing to watch the obnoxious breeder 'babystalking' the
NK! table by walking the child repeatedly back and forth past their
side of the restaurant. ('babystalking'= violating strangers'
personal space in public in hopes they will notice and compliment
your offspring)
It was an early night but I still had a hard time getting up this
a.m. Allergies are kicking my butt. Oh well. Almost Friday!
Oh! I got Vegas pictures back--the ones from the camera I bought in
the star trek gift shop came out VERY dark. I was disappointed about
that. I'm going to see if they can reprint a couple with more
contrast or whatever.
Love you! Happy Thursday!

Yeah, UB is definitely the one with the selective memory issues.
Sounds like a lot, if not all, of it stems from being so cripplingly
insecure about herself.
Shane and I didn't win the lottery. :( No one did, so it's up to
like 57 million for Saturday.
Love the "babystalking." What an idiot - parading her fuckfruit in
front of the NK people, as if they will all change their minds when
they see her. There is nothing more pathetic than someone really
smug like that, when no one else gives a rat's ass.
Shane and I had a great evening. Dinner, wine, packed up the
ornaments and took down the tree. After which, we watched, uh,
well. A porn movie. And things got really hot in the sack, and we
had the most amazing sex of our relationship thus far.
Wooo! Unfortunately, it will be our last hurrah for a week or so, as
my period will more than likely start tomorrow. :(
That's a bummer about your photos. :( Hopefully, they will be able
to do some good reprints for you. I really need to shoot up the rest
of my film, so I can get mine developed.
Love you, too!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a good day!

I didnt win the lotto either. Oh well. 57 mil would be nice. that
could fund a month in Vegas or so... :P
I have sympathy for UB's issues, but I still can't excuse her poor
treatment of others as a result. It's a wierd mind-space to occupy...
We had a conversation about porno last night at dinner. Niki just
bought a new DVD, bringing her collection to 3. So I teased her about
being a pervert. It was funny. It's hard to find good movies, but the
good ones do lead to great times in the bedroom :)
My boss erroneously gave me phone duty and then realized that the
person out sick didn't have it. So we worked out a compromise and I'm
leaving at 3:30. That's kinda cool. I guess I should be sure and get
a lot of work done in return, eh?
I hope your picture with Shane at the Xmas tree in the Hilton lobby
comes out better than mine. Y'all look so cute, but it's just too
dang dark. :(

I always get cash value tix, so, factoring that and taxes in, we'd
end up with about 20 mil, which isn't bad. We could definitely sock
most of it away and live in fine style on the interest. :)
I have sympathy to the extent that UB has problems, and dealing with
the shit in your own head can be very difficult, frustrating,
heartbreaking, etc. But we all have that to one degree or another.
It doesn't make her special in any way. And you're right to point
out that it doesn't justify treating other people like crap.
Even if one of those other people (Sineater) is willingly in her psycho
orbit because of neuroses of his own.
I am about to get hit with a world of shit from Howard. He sent me
an email wanting to "reserve" my time on Monday and Tuesday, and I
had to reply with the unfortunate fact that I won't be here because
of my root canal (I said "medical procedure"). I have a backup
person, who is a far far better paralegal than I could ever be, but
that's never good enough. He wants the person that he asked, not a
substitute. It is stupid, but there it is. Anyway. I said that
Michael was my backup and I would get him up to speed. We'll see if
that does any good at all.
Shane's movie was okay. A little "raw" I guess, for my taste, but it
definitely did something. He said we could go to Good Vibrations and
get something more "couples" oriented. :) I might actually do that
for Valentine's Day. Arrange some major erotic fabulous weekend
thing with all sorts of interesting treats. :)
My camera's pretty good about adjusting (when on fully automatic
mode, that is) for weird lighting situations, so I hope it turns out
as well. I will definitely send you a set!
