As we've got a few employee issues to deal with, I called my boss (in Milwaukee) to discuss a few things and got her voicemail. I left a detailed message about what I needed to talk to her about and asked her to give me a call. She did return my call, and asked me to set-up a meeting for the two of us to discuss this tomorrow and added that her calendar is up to date.

I couldn't help but think "Um, why can't you set up an appointment for us?"

I've got no problem doing menial tasks, but when it's something that she could've accomplished in less time than it took her to tell me to do it, isn't it relatively ridiculous? Maybe I'll never be management material because I just inherently do stuff like that on my own.

We had a three office staff meeting today and as usual, I was in charge of logistics. Breakfast, lunch, reserving the room, finalizing the agenda, and so on. It like meetings because I like watching people's body language when they're speaking in public. I always get red in the face when speaking at work in front of a group, no matter what I'm talking about. Today was no exception. I was comfortable, but it just happens.

I'll be getting back our photos from Eric and Lori's wedding this afternoon and should be able to post a few tomorrow. Be prepared for me in periwinkle.

I can't make fun of mouthbreathers, because I am one. Only when I'm sleeping, but hardcore throughout. I should really bring my own pillow when staying with friends.

The receptionist excitedly told me this morning that there's a proposal for an old theater in downtown Oshkosh (and a sister-theater in Appleton) to be reopened as independent filmhauses/jazz clubs. Holy krunking krunk! Apparently the city counsel just approved a liquor license and the woman who owns the theater is having her lawyer work with the local Marcus theaters to waive the non-compete agreement that's currently in place. I'm beyond excited that this might come to fruition and will likely spend vast sums of money on these establishments.

Also during the wedding rehearsal, I tried to use my recently-coined phrase "Well, that's Jesus for you!". Try it, it really fits into any conversation.

...that's some cool news! Every town could use some cool clubs/theaters... hope it works out, and you'll be krunking it all the way to krunkdom... just like Jesus!

When I worked in the mail/copy room at my work, I always enjoyed getting single-page documents with a post-it reading "Please make one copy and place in my mailbox. Thanks."

Please tell me you made the most illegible copy possible for them.

I agree. I don't think I have it in me to ask someone to do something for me that I could just as easily do myself. I do have it in me to get all pissy when they do a half-assed job, though.

When my father is looking for parking in DC he always gets this funny expression and starts bellowing like he's in a revivalist church saying "C'mon ... Jesus!" over and over. It's truly the limit.

"C'mon ... Jesus!"

I'm *so* using that the next time I play poker!

So guess what? I'm in the middle of kicking Best Buy's ass.
