Solution #2

Aha, betcha thought I wasn't going to blog today! Well, actually you would have been right if you had thought that. Wasn't having a very good day today. Woke up mad about the snow, mad about my job, mad about my lack of love life, and mad over a few other things. Decided to have a pity party today with myself as the only guest.

Wanted to come straight home at 5 today to lounge in the self-pity but had to spend some more time with the Carmen Electra 3way bathroom laptop. So I didn't get home until 6:30. Dell is even more stupid than I thought, if a corporation can be stupid, which it can't, but since I don't know the name of the person I was dealing with, I have to generalize. When I called up for the replacement hard drive for this laptop, I asked them to ship it to my work address. I also told them the name of my company. This was March 30th and I hadn't heard anything of it ever since. Over the last 2 days I've discovered that it seems they shipped it out right away on March 30. It hadn't arrived because they managed to put my name on the address label 3 times, but not my company name, nor the suite number in the building. So of course they didn't know who to deliver it to. However, my phone number was also on the label, but no one from the shipping company bothered to call and leave me a message saying they couldn't find me. Between the shipping company and Dell, there may be half a brain. In the end I just said to hell with it and picked it up in person at the depot, once I found out it had been sitting there since April 4th.

Finished the pro-bono work on the laptop and came home around 6:30. I have tapes full of TV from the last 2 weeks so I just decided to eat supper and catch up on TV tonight, and drown myself in fictional lives. Then Jenn called and I am very glad she did. We talked for over an hour and a half (didn't seem that long but my phone said 100 minutes!!) and I think we both felt much better afterwards. Sometimes blogging just ain't enough.

So out of my conversation with Jenn came my great idea of the day - solution #2 to my lack of love life. We were discussing the types of shirts worn by girls at bachelorette parties, such as "buck-a-suck" and it came to me - I can pretend I'm engaged! All us girls can go out this weekend and pretend it's a bachelorette party and I'll have them falling all over me. Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius!

I am totally not serious about that.

Well, almost.

liz said...

This also has nothing to do with Lisa's blog today about an upcoming bachelorette party. Funny coincidence though.

Hahaha very fun idea! Also having sucky ogre issues - see my blog - followed by suggestions tonight that while roommie is away for a week and a bit next week he is concerned for my safety although he won't say exactly why. EEK. Ok so where's the party? I'm going to need one right about nowish! Empty apartment down here next week!

PROJECT HOT COP!!!!!!!

Okay - Carmen Electra 3way Laptop? Did I miss something? There's a story in there, of that I'm certain.

liz said...

Mare: I have no idea what you're talking about. I think you've slipped into your own little world again.

Vagabond: the problem with blogging in large volumes is that things often get missed. As a favor for someone I agreed to replace a hard drive in their son's laptop. The son had among other things a file with a description of Carmen Electra bathroom 3way, or something like that.

mare said...

no no, a bunch of teachers are going out on friday for

PROJECT HOT COP

and you should totally come.

Rosyphant said...

LOL

I can only imagine....

liz said...

I am trying to guess what that could possibly be about. Scanning the streets for hot cops? Male strippers? What are we talking here? And why is it necessary for it to be in capital letters?

mare said...

it's because it's PROJECT HOT COP, that's all. a covert semi-not-at-all-military operation involving searching and/or capturing in a hopefully target rich environment.


ah, good thing i've seen top gun 150 times. (sorry scott, it's true). and i still haven't lost that lovin' feelin'. wo-oh, that lovin' feelin'.

ok now i'm just giggling and being amped up on chillycinos with heather.

in conclusion: blooooooooooooooog!!!!!!!

mare said...

heather: chillycino! it's like a cold pair of khakis!

mare said...

there are gay men in top gun? :P

liz said...

You do realize that my definition of "target rich environment" usually includes a building with gothic arches and an organ?

mare said...

liz: well, i don't know if there are arches, but definitely with the organs.

oh that was bad.

scott: oh my god it's getting worse. heather's now the rear admiral of random.

You don't know Sabina, so you'd make a great stand in for her. You'll have to wear the 'Sabina Mask' in a couple pics, but I was going to make everyone wear it at some point. ^_^ Of course you, and the rest of the female 'Usual Suspects' are welcome to attend.

I'm not sure what PROJECT HOT COP is, but it sounds naughty. *meows and makes claw gesture*
