I am not familiar with Lutheran customs - will there be more stripping tomorrow night?
This morning I called a company I do business with in Virginia. I've had quite a few billing problems with them. A few weeks ago I asked--again--for emails of my invoices. I was sent one, but it wasn't mine. That problem was taken care of, but then last week there was a new problem. I didn't want to call the person in charge of my account because she was just so lax a few weeks ago. Today I called her supervisor. I didn't mention any names, just said there had been a number of billing problems. It really hasn't been just one person; it's been one after another. We straightened things out and she admitted that they've had a lot of turnover. I'm not surprised: it's sooo prevalent. I told her I'd like to call HER, the supervisor, in the future. She was fine with that. After we got off the phone she checked the files more closely and saw that what I'd told her was perfectly true, then sent me an email explaining one of the mix-ups. They'd misfiled some information. She was very apologetic. I now have a point of contact there who is reliable and who knows her job. I do not want to deal with the endless parade of entry-level folks who either don't know how to do their jobs or don't care about doing it right. And the supervisor is perhaps more aware of the problems of those serving under her.
Well it has to be entirely dark before I strip.

Tomorrow, they're releasing their first CD in almost 10, count 'em, 10 years, but Amazon sent it early and I just got it today! Amazon knows a good customer when they see one. George, I didn't recognize any of the song titles. How would you describe them?They're all tight jazz chords. Some are up-tempo, and there are a couple of ballads. The title song, "The Junction," is a new song, but it quotes their previous hit "Tuxedo Junction" in some of the background vocals. I love this new song!Jeanne (and anyone else who's interested), if you want to hear four complete songs from the CD, here are some links:Preview: "The Junction" - The Manhattan Transfer's First Album in Almost a Decade - This article includes a YouTube link (audio only) to the song, "Cantaloop (Flip Out!)"The Manhattan Transfer to Release First New Album in a Decade — Hear the Lead Single! - This includes a Soundcloud link to the song, "The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul."Youtube (audio only): Sometimes I DoYoutube (audio only): Tequila / The Way Of The Booze

I did go to the Fur Ball, which raised huge sums for the Animal Defense League. I did buy a metal kitty for the garden to go with the dog I bought last year. I also bought some booze. Get liquored for strays.

The boss sent her an email giving her a deadline to get it done but it was not the most diplomaticaly worded missiveWe knew she was unhappy and thinking about moving on and I have no problem with her quitting, even with no notice ... But the boss was out of the office and not expected back for several hours She could have told us her intentions and given us a quick rundown on the files on her desk before walking out I am not angry that she quit, I am angry she snuck out
We'll see how it goes
Perhaps dearest Jane has resumed reading.
