Mar. 1st, 2004 10:37 pmMax has ticks. i think they arrived when we kenneled him for the Germany trip. Numerically not many, but humanly, any more than zero are too many. He got a tick bath today, and they should start dying, but i found one tonight after his bath. UGH! and that is probably TMI.
Tomorrow is a no office day. i have work for here, a letter begging the university for money so i can go represent it in the professional community. i don't know why i have to beg for a bit of help trying to bring the professional standard of the uni a bit of prestiege, but there ya have it folks, i do. i'm female, non-arab, non-muslim even, so about the only thing the powers that be feel i'm good for is......i don't know what, certainly not being their representative at an international conference. i keep thinking it looks good on the vitae that i present and get published, but at this point in my life, realistically how many more jobs am i going to have? But i will, because i have that hole inside me that gets filled by doing this sort of thing.
If Sebastian gets my ticket straight. i thought i was confirmed ticket, room, the whole nine yards, but yesterday when Master called to see when we could pick up the ticket, Mr. S says i lost the room. Why? we asked. The confirmation was given past the deadline. Why? we asked again. Because Mr. S thought i was going to book the ticket and the room myself. Did we say that? Master asked. No. Then whatever gave Mr. S. the impression that we were going to do it? we asked. Because i could get the whole package 6KD cheaper if i did it myself. Did we say i was going to do it myself? No. Then why did you hold off? And now i can have room in another hotel, and have the great good fortune of paying an extra 16 KD/night. NOTHANKYOUVERYMUCH Sebastian. Get me my room back. NOW!
The weather is turning beautifuller every day. All too soon it will become too beautiful to be out in it, but so far this week we have dined on the patio every night. i am lovin' that. Tomorrow Mr. Shopvac and i are going to have some fun. We are going to clean up the astro-turf carpet out there. WHoooweee!
Tomorrow is also shorten skirt and dress day. i have decided i am sick and tired of looking like a frump. All my work clothes that i have purchased in this country, are going to be shortened to a modest midcalf lenght. Screw 'em if they can't take a joke. i don't like dresses that are meant to be worn short be touching the floor.
i just got the word, it's time for me to go to bed.
