So! I just got informed by our General Manager that our owner has decided that we'll begin airing college basketball games next week.

Not that we've actually done any of the paperwork or technical work or arranged for board operators or anything else besides him deciding he wants the sales team to start selling sponsorship packages on tuesday.



We JUST got done with football, god dammit. I thought I was through with this shit until march.

At least you aren't sick?

I think it's just a blood pressure spike combined with low blood sugar. Today's been irritating, partially because I didn't go to lunch.

I got two shows to produce and a few commercials to extend, then I can.
Gawd, It hits me way too emotionally when people are hungry. I'm some kind of non- racist, non-diabetic Paula Deen. Know that if we were 'same city' friends, I'd be driving towards you right now with a Rubbermaid container filled with goodness.

Ha ha ha.. I appreciate it. I'm probably going to just hit a drive thru on the way home. I'm getting close to done here. You'll know I'm done when I fire off the usual friday-signal.

You go home and go right to bed so you can wake up healthy.

Argh. Why is it that houses in this neighborhood sit for months, yet for the 3rd time now we put an offer on one and somehow--somehow there are multiple bids on the house.

Because the brokers are lying to you to create an imaginary bedding war??


Rant:

Saw Star Wars as a family last night.

Our daughter ditches us to sit with her friend.

And then.

She.


SHE!!!!

This morning: Try to bake some cinnamon rolls. The oven we bought lass than a year ago (thankfully still under warranty) decides it doesn't want to start.

This afternoon: The mail comes and with it is a $500 deposit check for a gig I'm doing in April.

So I guess if we do end up having to pay I have the money for it. This will be the first test of the warranty for this company and it's about 10 days away from the warranty being gone, so I hope they don't try and drag it out to go past the date.

Turns out there were 3 friggin bids on this house. We didn't win. This is the first house I've really been interested in in this neighborhood, too, so this sucks. Seriously 4 gazillion houses on the market in this neighborhood, many for months now and we choose the one that everyone else wanted too.

Well, you didn't bid on any of those other houses either, so clearly something about that one was more attractive. Still sucks, though.
 
Probably because it was either on for a great price, or because it genuinely was the better house? There's no doubt a reason why you liked this specific house over those other hundreds. Sometimes that can be a personal thing that won't affect others (there's beech trees in the yard and I really love beeches! or whatever), but if it's something that most people will appreciate (spacious living room, modern windows, good natural light, whatever), it makes sense for such a house to be more popular (or more expensive).

Still, bummer.
 
Client: "Hello, we have some issues with the translation you did for us."

Us: "Sure, what were the problems? We'd be happy to help."

Client: "Well, they're too numerous to list, but we've made some edits and corrections. Please have a look, and follow the edits we made for future translation cases."

Us: "All right, send it here."

(One hour later)

Us: "Uh, client dudes? You basically rewrote the whole translation. It now bears no resemblance to what the source text said. You can't really do that for a translation..."

Client: "Nonetheless, that's what we want. Please follow these principles for all future translation cases."

Us: "That's not how this works! That's not how any of this works!"
