What the hell?

if you have kids

you can claim a parental excuse to not have to work

if you don"t _ then there isn"t a reason_ i"m irked_ and if you"re wondering why my punctuation is all screwy i BLAME THE keyboard_

i thought it was only the period key that wasn't working. OH! OH! there it is . whatever bad thing I did (and no, it wasn't the caps key- I checked) is gone. phew.

i just had to tell alison i'm working late tuesday. we (the dev team at the office) are working late. moving the review session has an impact to a big project deliverable so it's not an option. it's building on the irritation i have about working too much this week. yesterday I got to the gym at 5:55am. Yes, it was dark. but the goal was to be in early enough, so i could take a 7 am call in the office. i had an 8-10 am mtg with my boss and there wasn't going to be enough time to commute. i did the early stint so I could leave early. there was a huge party alison snagged a spot for me, and i couldn't go. i brought nice clothes, makeup, everything. and i was at the office. and i didn't even order dinner. i was too busy on my freaking deliverable.

ARG.

but back to the parent thing - why ? so annnoying.

my version of day care could be that bloomindales closes at a certain time. or that eye brow stylists don't work at night. or that i want to hit the beauty counter before it's a mob scene.

i am deferring my laundry for this eve. i would rather stay home. i need to call my dad and my brother. get this, my dad is 75 today.

That's huge!

Ok, I hsould call.
