OH MY GOD IVE GOT A CHART REVIEW TOMORROW AND I THINK THE WOMAN IS GOING TO COME DOWN HARD ON ALL OF THE DISCREPANCIES. I HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT BUT I HAVE TO DO IT BECAUSE ITS MY JOB.
ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS FROM WORK'S HUSBAND DIED ON SATURDAY. HE WAS 33 YEARS OLD. HE COLLAPSED AND DIED AT WORK. I HAVE BEEN CRYING ALL DAY, OFF AND ON. I CALLED HER, AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. THEY HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR NINE YEARS, I WENT TO THEIR WEDDING, THEY CAME TO MINE. THIS IS NOT FAIR. YES, HE HAD POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE, BUT HE WAS BORN WITH THAT AND HE MADE IT THIS FAR. SHE ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS A CHANCE HE'D DIE BEFORE HER, EVEN THOUGH SHE'S A BIT OLDER, BUT NOT THIS SOON. Not this soon. Please hug your loved ones extra for me.

SMALL RUMINANT - WHY ARE WE NOT TOGETHER BUYING EACH OTHER BEER IN THE NORTHWEST?

I TURN 39 IN THREE WEEKS! I AM NOT TALL, YOUNG, THIN NOR WILL I EVER LOOK HOT IN A BIKINI! LISTENING TO THE GANG OF FOUR SONG "I FOUND THAT ESSENCE RARE" DOESN'T MUCH HELP! IT TOOK THREE DAYS OF BUSY SIGNALS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO MAKE A RESERVATION AT BABBO FOR 10:45 ON A TUESDAY NIGHT, WHICH IS TOO LATE FOR MY AUNT AND UNCLE, SO I HAVE TO DIG UP THREE OTHER PEOPLE WHO CAN JOIN ME. I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO SHOW OFF MY PLACE TO MY FAMILY AND I CAN'T---THE HOT WATER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY IN THE OFFICE BATHROOM AND THE GUEST'S IS SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I'VE JUST FOUND OUT THAT NOT ONLY WOULD SOMEONE I ADMIRE WOULD HAVE SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME IN HIGH SCHOOL, BUT SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SNOT TO ME TOO. I DON'T WANT TO BECOME ONE OF THE SOUR OLD WOMEN I SEE ALL OVER NYC.
