Kay it's Tuesday

Random Thoughts

~ Check the thoughts before they exit your mouth:

I recently had GSD and TJP over for dinner with MyLuc n' I and mentioned something that I had read on one of the many blogs I lurk in. GSD didn't take it very well and holy moses...did I ever feel like a heel. She said no worries but yep, wrong thing to tell a chronic worrier. *sigh*Plus I am happy for the guy. I mean we all need happiness right? And she has a new person in her life and has/had moved on. It's all good. Right?!?

On my way outta town TJP called to see what was going on and I said I was heading out of town. I then proceeded to tell her that she could "occupy Luc" if she was free. WTF!!! I didn't catch it for like 5 seconds until the driver of the vehicle I was in almost had to pull over because she was laughing so hard. Itsa really good thing that people know what I mean when I have trouth mubles like this.

~ Speaking of which:

I went to a SCA event in Sooke on the Island. It was awesome. I was awarded with an Award of Arms. Its an award for service. ie: constable (patrolling for trouble), gate (door, collecting entry fees), water bearing (bringing water to the men in armor). My SCA title is now - Lady Phoebe Baxter. Hoorah for me. Although on the award itself it was spelled Poebe Baxtep *sigh* I guess in Runes there is no R so the Baxtep is understandable but the Poebe - no way jose - there is totally an H - especially since in the award itself some words contain one.

Work is going okay. We're still short some staff members and an accountant and a HR person. I mentioned to the main lawyer that I needed to get an advance on this pay and he almost fainted on the spot. Not giving just the regular pay but extra. Goodness. Ifn he's worried about that he won't like that I want $400. *shrug* I wouldn't ask if I didn't need it. We'll see come payday.

Okay, funny for Tuesday:

To get the full effect, this should be read aloud. You will understand what 'tenjewberrymuds' means by the end of the conversation. This has been nominated for the best email of 2005.
