Just out of curiosity, what’s down for November 4 at 2:30?  
No, not asking for any particular reason. No really!

The devil went down to Georgia…he was looking for a soul to steal…thanks a lot **Rue** now I won’t rest til I dig out that Charlie Daniels CD and play it tonight.

I got a new day planner for the new year. It’s really cool. Leather and all. Smells good. Really boring tho. Like last week and this week. Last week…Management team meeting 10-Noon(did the arrows pointing down thing), Lunch with boss and co-worker (sushi!)…conference call re: older adult services with national office 2-4. Return phone calls 4-5. Tuesday VR meeting and brunch 10:00 (with arrows pointing to Noon)…Lunch with Tom Noon - 1:00…P.M. Drive to Atlanta…8:00 P.M. dinner at Babette’s with boss and Regional Manager. Wednesday…state capitol A.M., hear Governor’s budget address…Lunch with boss 12:30…P.M. Legislative Conference…5:00-7:00…reception for legislators at the Depot…8:30…dinner with colleagues at Bluepointe (damn good pure martinis there…tho I didn’t put this in my planner…just to let y’all know if you ever go to Bluepointe in Atlanta for dinner…have a pure martini with blue cheese stuffed olives…yummmmmmmmm!) Thursday…back to Capitol to meet with local State Representatives and Senators re: proposed Legislation A.M…P.M. drive home…Friday…write notes to local State Reps and Senators thanking them for listening…arrange meeting with local Area Agencies on Aging for MOA’s re: older adult services…6:00 P.M…meet bf and friends for dinner and drinks…then weekend! Monday…holiday!!!..Tuesday…work on app. for CCSP provider number…Lunch…Ed and Sarah at the Rocket…P.M…regional board meeting…Wednesday A.M…continue work on CCSP app…11:00…Safety Committee meeting (note: appoint new chair)…etc…

**swampbear** , there is such a thing as _too much_ planning.

Reminds me of the Eddie Izzard bit where he tries to envision Pol Pot’s day planner.

“Death, death, death, death, lunch, death, death, afternoon tea, death, death, death, _quick shower_, dinner.”

It’s a lot funnier than it sounds, I swear.

Memo

To: Satan  
From: swampbear  
Re: AOHELL

Look, I know AOL is your work. However, is it really necessary for it to tell me it cannot find a website after I type in a post and then send it THREE FREAKIN’ TIMES after I give up? Sheesh! After the first time, I reposted an abbreviated version of my op which appeared to have been eaten. Not only did your ISP spawn then decide it was ok to send on my op, it sent the new version twice. I wonder if **Rue** saw that in your planner for Monday, January 20, 2003. A big block of time with pointing down arrows and all that said, “screw with swampbear’s post to **RueDeDay’s** thread.”

If you’d like, you can mail it to me and I’ll return it when he comes for dinner on Sunday.

Geeze-us. Looks like Satan’s stuck in a bit of a rut there - same ol’ thing day after day after day. . . . No wonder the old bastard is so cranky.

No, **Daowajan** , there is _nothing_ funnier than this.

And just for the record, I knew it was fake when it mentioned ALF.

😉  
Honestly, I thought at first you may have found a dayplanner owned by a geek who keeps if for a LARP character until that point.

Good run, though.

Can you describe it **Mephisto**? (I’m covering up the OP with my hand so you can’t cheat.) I wouldn’t want this to fall into the wrong hands.

Yer mom’s expecting you for dinner this Sunday. Don’t forget.

“LARP” **Gorgon**? I’m not as hip as I look sometimes.

My SO and I used to keep a running log that turned out to be a kind of shared journal with art work and comments on all kinds of stuff. We accidently left it at a restaurant where we’d eaten breakfast after our morning run. Two days later we went back to see if we’d possibly left it there. Eddie described it and one of the waitresses started laughing, “Oh yeah, I remember seeing it. They were passing it around the kitchen.” Apparently, the staff loved reading all our personal tidbits but no one was able to tell us what happened to it. Jerks! **Rue** if you ever do find the Devils day planner, you’d better return it.
