Thank you. I know, from what I’ve seen you post, yours have me beat by a mile (or kilometre as the case may be). Mine is, honestly, more just me feeling sorry for myself. It’s a milestone birthday for me and I was supposed to be on vacation. I spent half the day attending work calls that were too important to wait until next week, and the other half running errands for and trying to take care of Mr. TM after his knee surgery because a) he was out of it most of today (understandably) and b) he won’t stay in bed and managed to pop a staple and bleed all over the place (and he won’t go to ER to have it fixed). No one in my family called to wish me a happy birthday either. For the most part - Facebook aside - it was just like any other day.
There were a couple of bright spots, though. One of the “work calls” my boss asked me if I would attend so we could discuss our performance as a team was a cover for a virtual surprise party with the team. They even sang Happy Birthday to me (badly… but it’s the thought that counts). And Mr. TM just woke up long enough to give me my birthday present:
When you’ve written a short email to point out some grammatical and spelling errors to a webmaster whose first language is obviously not English, and they respond with, “That you for the suggestions.”
So … your suggestions aren’t really to help me. They’re to make you more money.
My cell phone company asks that I install an app on my phone to make tracking my account easier and it should have added benefits. It has little promotions once/week for stuff that I’ve never been interested in and am not in the demographic where I ever will. I have a pretty good plan that I’ve worked hard for. I have unlimited minutes and X GB of data. On their plan suggestions page, it says that they’ve analyzed my usage over the last few bills and have come up with a more appropriate plan. Limited minutes, less data, more expensive. Just generally wrong. If they’ve analyzed ANY of my previous bills for the last 5 months they’ll see that I never use my phone and have been almost exclusively on WiFi so I’ve only barely touched my data.
There’s liars, there’s FUCKING liars, and then there’s the phone company.

If you ask me if I’m in the line, and then question me about the store policy for how the line works and begin a lecture on how you think things should work … yeah, you just go ahead and do whatever you want. I stopped paying attention to you a minute ago.
Also, don’t get upset at me when I interrupt you to say, “Oh, you’re one of those.”
We’re not on fire too badly down here… yet. Our fire season is normally later in the year than NorCal’s though. September and October are normally pretty bad.
I did not roll my ankle playing wiffleball this evening, and it is not swollen to twice normal size and purple. And I most certainly did not hear a crunch when I did it. I don’t have to crawl everywhere, and work will be just peachy on Monday.
I don’t remember if I posted here, but the Dragonlady stepped off a curb funny while locking up her bike and twisted her ankle. That was 6 weeks ago. She walked her bike home (STUPID!) and the next day there was a literal golf ball sized (and shaped) lump. Hospital trips, air cast, a knee rover, and she still isn’t over it. She’s getting better, slowly. Wishes there was more progress.
