    Two days ago spent the entire night drinking with a Dutch mofo, yesterday I had a serious business meeting with this Indian chick and American guy (who went crazy about my dog), and today I spent a good two hours discussing a large project with this South African guy (whilst he put the Aussie rugby team down, and I did the same to the South African team... there are very good reasons why our conversation took 2 hours) and while sitting outside in the sun and patting my dog like an evil genius à la Doctor Evil.

    Love my work.

    Today, I will be submitting an observation to our company's medical ethics hotline.
    I don't want to cause trouble, but I can't get this pet's face out of my mind.
    I have to say something to someone.

    That's like buying 12,000 of me!

    Man, that would explain so much about the two hours I spent hanging out with him. He's very zen.

    He put his healing hands on my face and suddenly I've started growing a beard above my neck.

    It's a miracle.

    amonkie, where are you guys staying in San Diego? I've been there a lot - it's a traditional spot for my industry shindig. There's lots of cool stuff to do along the water and a bunch of great restaurants in the Gaslamp district.

    On another note, sometimes spectactularly bad ideas are the most fun.

    Why didn't you just pay her the $800?

    Silly noodle. You can't ignore me. I'm staff. I'm unignorable, like a zit right under your collar.

    I just came across a forum where someone was slamming on the "sloppy" text and story editing of one of our novels. They didn't name it in the post, but they linked to the book on the publisher's website. All I saw was the ISBN in the link.

    I was all like, Please don't be one of my projects! When I clicked the link, I was relieved to find that it was a novel that I hadn't even proofread. I've never read the book at all.

    I'm relieved, but I still feel bad.

    (And now I'm trying to resist the thought that I should be proofreading everything we churn out.)

    Oh, it's not you, jazzy.
    Just those long blah-blah-blah fake psychoanalyst people.
    Doesn't work on blog comments either.

    Has anyone attended the Sundance film festival? And if so did you purchase the Express A or B film package?

    I don't overuse Carly.

    And, I thought of Grammar Guru when one of my kids told me a knock-knock joke earlier this week....

    Friend: Knock, knock.
    My client: Who's there?
    Friend: To.
    My client: To whoooo....mmmm...
    Friend: Dammit!!!

    I'm really glad we don't have our meetings in the mornings. On the other hand, I don't feel like staying after work for a meeting today, either. They're all the same, and if the managers would stop repeating everything, we could compress everything into a ten minute pre-shift lineup.

    In related news, I'm going to run away and become a gypsy.

    The wind was taken out of my sails upon realizing that in the same package I had received a nightmare manuscript.

    Lots to do today. Better get going! Coffee date, paperwork, then I have to dress professionally and head to my interview, followed by beers served by a good friend.

    I also need to hit up my dad for a professional-looking folder. I have to take a sheaf of paperwork to this interview, and my leather folio is missing.

    We haven't booked a hotel yet, but my parents go there frequently and usually try to get a place right on the water near Mission Bay. We are open to suggestions! Trying to decide between the variety of suite hotels so that we can have a little more room and also the fridge/microwave options.
