continuing sagas


this post was originally dated for the day before it was written, though if you look at the date it is another day, even though the today, in RealTime�, weeks after it was originally written, is now and not the date on this entry, but whatever, it�s only time and that may be the most imaginary illusion of all...

so I�ve been writing elsewhere again instead of sleeping this week and so I went to work groggy again, stopping along the way for cupcakes cuz dessert was the stuff I was supposed to bring to the pot luck holiday meal at work and I bought twenty four regular sized cupcakes and twenty four mini-cupcakes and six tubs of cool whip (chocolate and french vanilla) and that was my contribution... the people who were designated as the entree preparers copped out so we did not have enough entries (in fact, all we had was turkey and far from enough turkey to feed everybody)... you might say the entree preparers were turkeys...

after getting some work done in the morning, including some pat-on-the-back emails to essential players in our organization, including the uncooperative, paranoid, and rude data and finance person in the front offices who has most of the managers and others frustrated because he will not pass along vital admissions information on a consistent basis... we shall see if he has any positive social skills whatsoever by his reaction, if any, to my email...

it was a morning for tying up loose ends, giving summary reports on problem areas in data handling, and sending emails of appreciation... and I finally started to CC my boss because it may take a meeting with my boss and her boss and someone higher at the corporate office to get the state data right because the state database is wonky and the state liaison does not seem to understand the meaning of the data and how his solution skews the meaning of the data to a point where it is meaningless for tracking patient outcomes or the results we get in our hospital...

so the state guy received an email from me detailing what is wrong with his end of the data that we are supposed to enter and as with the guy in our front office and my supervisor, the ball is in their courts... I like it when I am waiting for a return of serve cuz it means I�ve got my side of the work figured out and it�s off my plate and there�s nothing to do but wait for someone else�s decision... even better, once we iron out the state database, nobody will bug me cuz they don�t want me to point out what they are not doing in their jobs anymore...


after getting home, stuffed from the meal at work, I nodded off and watched TV with Rasputin and when he left the room I flipped through the channels and found Just Like Heaven and sure enough, I was all gushy at the end... if you haven�t seen it, then skip the next line (quit, avert your eyes, leap to the next paragraph, you can do it)... the simplest of predictable happy endings, but sometimes those are just right...

then I rambled on the computer and slept some more and that was yesterday, which was Wednesday, in spite of the date you may see if this entry is ever archived as a separate page... hope you enjoy this holiday if you celebrate it... I do not because it, like Columbus Day and War Holidays, is nothing to celebrate in my mind... though giving thanks is a good thing, that can (and should) be done all the time... but playing out the peace between white men and natives is a white man�s fantasy I do my best not to support... if you must know, I consider it more a day of mourning than celebration, but then, I tend to see things from the native perspective... I mention this because anyone expecting a reciprocal holiday greeting might be disappointed if you don�t understand where I�m coming from...

so enjoy Thursday for any reason you choose because it is Thursday, another day to love and share in your life... and may all your Easter Eggs be non-white...

...

thanks to Rasputin, who is way more traditional than I ever was, there was turkey and the usual side dishes on the table today... maybe the first time this year that the table has been completely cleared and we shared a meal there in (we usually eat in the living room in front of the TV)... and Code Red... and chocolate cream pie... and I decided to add chips and pretzels... so much for leaving all the cupcakes and cool whip at work so I wouldn�t pig out at home... left to my own devices, I�d have probably fasted today, but I am so not driving my life these days... it�s lots of fun, actually, as long as I don�t ask this body to do much...

and I wonder why I am not finding a relationship?...

(not really)



this has been one wonderfully relaxing day glancing at the TV for the sports scores and rambling on and off at the computer and listening to music and talking with roommates and mostly just sitting around relaxing... the mind is a wonderful thing to wandering aimlessly around in from time to time (and such a luxury... I have four days off in a row and this is just day one and I don�t know what to do with myself...

I thought about a trip up to north Florida because Precious�s mother suddenly appeared in the state and her step-brother text messaged her that they are here, but they don�t want to make one of the trips and Rasputin must work this weekend and does not want to spend the money on two six hour drives (with just fast food, at least $100 with tolls) and I don�t feel like spending that either... if they�d have given some notice we might have arranged some time... Precious is ok with it, she�d rather hang out with her friends anyway... to be real, her regret is she won�t get to go shopping with them and have new clothes until Christmas...

she just texted to ask if I wanted to see V for Vendetta and I said yes... so her and her friend are coming back here with snacks and V for Vendetta cuz her friend )... so that will be our evening... we do have all the cable channels free and there are some great movies on White Christmas, Finding Neverland, Great Expectations, City of Angels, The Audrey Hepburn Story, 200 Cigarettes, Pretty Woman and at least a dozen others I'd have in my collection if I didn't already have them in storage), but I've wanted to see V for Vendetta ...

and it's time for the movies now so I hope you are loving your day and making love to your evening and I'll be back around somewhere sometimes soon...
