You probably would she has a [small] nose piercing and is a lot of fun, with a good sense of humor. She's at a fairly conservative firm. I feel she is a good person. The other day I flaked out and forgot my train pass and she bought my ticket and I paid her back today. she's thoughtful.

Right on, sister. I do my best to make things inconvenient for my clients. Sometimes I am just flatout rude. I think it helps for my clients to know that I am a person too, with needs and desires, and if they want me to provide services for them I get to say WHO, I get to say WHEN, I get to say HOW, I get to say....WHO. Just like Pretty Woman. And then when I am fired I get to say "Big Mistake. Huge." And I marry a rich (gay) guy.

Last time I dealt with any, I was still in Texas. They liked us too.

I am always cheerful and pleasant at the start of a conference call, no matter what time it is. Repaying rudeness (in scheduling) with rudeness (of attitude) is counterproductive. I was bitching about it to my buddies on the board. Hah.

Did you start drinking early today, dear? it is best when drinking at work to keep it on the d-l and hide that silver flask. a brown paper bag works best.

1. Because they don't want you to eat for 12 hours before surgery.

2. Because they can finish and make their 11:00 am tee time.

ER space is a rarer commodity than the doctor's time.

I think some surgeons are sharper (ha!) first thing in the morning. I'd rather get her/him feeling fresh than be on the wrong side of the sleep-caffeine nexus.

I would also imagine that doctors want to schedule meetings first thing because it becomes harder to break away as the day progresses, particularly if they see patients.

When you respond to a relatively innocuous post by stating that the poster asked a "stupid question," and then the poster snaps back at you, and then you say that there is no need to get nasty, I get curious as to whether you have an extremely finely tuned sense of irony, or a complete inability to appreciate irony. Do you know?

Because I ride in taxis more often than I ride on trains, and a girl's got needs.

But seriously, it was a reference to Richard Gere, who was the gigilo in Pretty Woman. I should really dust off my Spelling Bee Champion trophy. I am driven to spell things out today.

Why are you being such a piler-onner bitch? Making reasoned arguments and shit, I mean really, do you think that's gonna fly here?

I told you, we coordiante our morning attitude.

[Subject change]

I have a needy friend who emails me. One or two token questions about "how are you" and then launches in a monolouge pissing and moaning about her troubled boyfriend who is emotionally damaged and won't commit and has a kid. I offer advice, she ignores and pisses and moans some more. As you can imagine, this gets old. I now cringe when I see her emails in my in box. Am I selfish? do I have the right to just cut her off cold? It is to the point I don't wish to email her again because it is a barrrage of "oh he pushed me away and I suffocated him bcuz I don't understand, whhhhhhhhhy?" ahhhhh!
