(((Jill))) I hope you got to the desserts last night. I was in the back row with my guests. I was ready to stand up and applaud you. Man… congrats on the nod.

Anne was awesome. Saw her toddling on her scooter afterwards with the Statue of Liberty crown.

Maybe one day I’ll see my picture up there.

Enjoy your cookies. I’m so damn tired.

Finally on Saturday, I was writing after a few months. Damn fire alarm ran my muse off right at the good part.

I survived my first RWA… barely… great seeing and meeting so many people.

BTW did you get the flashing tiara at the Moonlight Bazar? I did. Kind of broke, but what the hell I needed something to pick me up.

Next time I won’t pack the house.

Thanks again Jill for the book. You rock!

If it makes you feel any better, last summer – when I was brand new to my job – my boss was out of the office at a business meeting. A man wearing coveralls came into my office asking where he was. I said he was out until the next day and asked if I could take a message. The man was not offensive in any way but he WAS insistent that I reveal where my boss was. I didn’t know how my boss felt about that sort of thing (I’ve worked with people who would get you fired for revealing their whereabouts so I was a bit gun shy) so I was reluctant. After a few minutes the guy says, “Oh, by the way, I don’t think we’ve formally met, I’m ” and he gave me his name. I replied with “It’s nice to meet you. I still can’t tell you where “my boss” is.” He eventually wore me down (as I realized he was NOT leaving my office until I told him where my boss was) and I told him where he was. The man thanked me and left. I ran to the person who’d had the job before me and asked if my boss was funny about that sort of thing because I’d broken down and told the guy where he was. She said she didn’t think he cared and then asked who it was that was “hounding” me. Turns out he was my boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss or something like that. The head honcho of the building I work in – as in the only way you could go over this guy’s head was to contact someone at our company’s headquarter facilities. And I was refusing to tell him where my boss was!

Obviously he’s a nice guy because I’m still employed! LOL

Oh, and my vote goes for you sharing the porn movie story too!
