But I emailed the boss and some colleagues that I was unwell and would be late

Then a spent an hour non the phone with a lovely woman from ATT that put everything to rights again

vixmom · « **Reply #122 on:** January 17, 2017, 04:54:28 PM »

I also had a conversation with the manager of the Verizon. She apologized profusely and I calmly explained the events and told her that her employees had managed to take very eager prospective customers and by sheer ineptitude caused such chaos that no only did they lose our sale but others who turned up while we were there walked away without ever being acknowledged by the staff

She acknowledged and thanked me for my call said she would not as ask us to come in and try again after all the trouble we had been through but hoped that at some future date we would once again consider giving Verizon achance

Good evening. I have spent a glorious couple of days in southern Arizona birdwatching. It was stormy yesterday and the light was terrible for photos. Today was better, though.

Also, there is a tv in this motel room that has cable. And there really is nothing on. I don't miss a tv at home at all.

Actually, I've been moving a little slower than I would have cared to due to a few telephonic interruptions. But, shortly I shall try to do two or three more pages at least, which will leave me about three or four to do later. I'm not going to watch anything tonight, so I'll just write, take some breaks, write and have popcorn. In fact, I think I'll have popcorn right this damn minute.

What is special about this shower/tub? Is there a sample photo?

I'll second Druxy's mention of And Then There Were None
Rebecca
Tell No One by Harlen Cobin.
The Girl With/Who books by Stieg Larssen

Three excellent choices.

Nine pages, two to go and I'll do those post-shower in about ninety minutes. I just wrote a somewhat draining three-and-a-half pages but I think it came out really well.

Page five? Really?

Listening to Benjamin Britten's amazing Four Sea Interludes, the clear inspiration for Jerry Goldsmith's score for Islands in the Stream.
