Well dip me in mayonaise and throw me to the lesbians

Oy vey. I made sure Miss Kit got on the right ferry so she can catch a bus to go home and it all goes to hell.
The local bus service doesn't wait three minutes and she ends up stuck in Poulsbo (about forty minutes from home) all by herself until my Mom could rescue her.
Thankfully, some really kind people helped her out and kept her company. She isn't a baby or anything but she is fourteen. It was also the first time she has traveled from Port Townsend to Seattle by herself. (It is a 47 mile distance) My Mother is so pissed off right now that I suspect a bus driver may be found in a ditch soon.

In other news I had my review today. They love me. Maybe it helps that they know I might burst into tears if I get a bad review so they ignore the sarcastic behavior I display at work and say nice things about me. I got a piddly little raise and was told what a great person I was.
I was kind of scared because I was doing my review with Magda Goebbels and being in a room with her, with the door closed made me think of a dog that realizes that it is on its way to the vet. I wanted to scratch the door and say, "lemmie out, lemmie out."

Again one of the things I need to "improve" upon is coming to managers when I have concerns. So apparently trying to place nice, ignoring the problem and putting food on top of it doesn't sit well with them. But how does one say, "Yeah um...you are the problem. quit being such a bitch." I suppose one has to be creative. I did let on that I was sort of irritated that they weren't telling me things I needed to know and I was finding out about them after the fact. So they listened to that.

I think I will take a bubble bath and call it good.

I'd have to get me a pompadour and some flashy white dental work and a laser pointer and a suit and stuff. All I need is a good topic that gets my goat, and I have a portable little soapbox here that comes out!

I think you would make a great speaker just the way you are.
It would draw people to you or frighten them. But you know they would look. Once they look, they start listening.

All I need now is a topic to speak about! I should get some mileage in on the street corner opposite the guy at 5th and pine that thinks the SPD and and the Frye apartments are satan.

I think the giant get-rich hypocracy that I would end up being a tabloid scandal for is to be a big time motivational speaker dispensing dating advice. When they finally confront me during my bid in the presidential election in 2008 I'll admit to making it all up.

Maybe you could speak to people with your crow army keeping watch.
