Communicating
It’s Friday. La la la la.
I haven’t run since Sunday and I feel lumpy…lumpish. Like a lump. I am planning to run tomorrow and Sunday. Perhaps I can work off the 10 mint cookies I ate over the past two days. They were like the Thin Mint cookies except they were Fat. Fat Mints. I brought the rest to work so other people could eat them also.
I leave for vacation in 15 days I am beginning to count them down. Countdown to spreading a towel on my patch of sand and reading the day away. What will I do in the evening? Take a book to bed and read. This is my idea of a perfect vacation. No singing, no dancing, no partay. No no no.
Yesterday was a day for weirdness. I sent very clear email and ended up with correspondence analogous to this:
me: can you sent report x to the webguy?
her: here’s report x–let me know what else you need.
me: so the webguy has report x?
her: this is in response to your inquiry.
I would be so happy if there was a reading comprehension test before these people got hired. The offender works in our c0mmunications department. ha ha ha.
me: I don’t need report x. I need the webguy to get it.

Speaking of Thin Mints - I have ordered 8 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies this year. Urp!

God, I have conversations like that ALL DAY LONG from people who majored in Pass The Buck. One woman in alumni affairs is Queen of Forwarding and Passive Aggression - “By copy of this email I’m asking FreshHell to send you all the information you want. Thanks so much!” Fuck you. (Not YOU. Her.)
