Today is Tuesday?!? What the hell? NOBODY tell GOPisEvil
that I was so excited to see him that I called a day early to hook up with him...though he's probably wondering why I called him a few minutes ago to ask him where he was (answer, not in Vegas, but in Beverly...Hills, that is) without my usual follow-up question ("and, um, what are you wearing?").

I thought it was Wednesday today, but I just found out it's Tuesday. Well, I'll be...

But GOPisEvil's potential bewilderment is nothing compared to what must be going through the minds of people at the plalce from which I called him, where I'd just interviewed for a job. That's right...another Wednesday appointment, and there I am brazenly barging my way in there and claiming an appointment at 3PM. I thought I was going to be late, given my difficulty in getting there in one piece, and -- as it turns out, I was exactly one mnute early. Well, one minute and one day early. The woman I was supposed to see, to her credit, did see me and we hit it off pretty well. I figure they think I'm a real go-getter now: "sumbitch came a whole day early, I swear! I like that. Let's hire him for double the usual salary."

I've long had trouble knowing what day it is, largely because -- for so long -- it never really mattered that much, but this is ridiculous.

On the bright side, I got tomorrow's errands done and got myself a whole extra day as a rebate. Tomorrow I'll go back to the future, but with less rush.

I mean, days of the week are so arbitrary...

1. Tuesday, Wednesday... whatever.



Really, in the broad scheme of all eternity, fretting abaout a day or two difference in the Gregorian Calendar concept of measuring time is so bourgeois.

6. GOPisEvil is counting on you
to take him to the luckiest casino so he can win back all the money he spent in Beverly Hills today.

You know, when you see him...tomorrow...as in, Wednesday... ;)

7. Tommorow's Wednesday?
One, two, three, Monday, Tuesday, Wed...oh, yeah...you're right!

Yep, no wories about winning his money back...I've got a sure thing pencilled in for after we get back from the Chicken Ranch.

You know, where they raise free-range chickens. Much better for you than the hormone-injected kind. :P

10. If I had it my way
tomorrow would be Friday. Sadly it is not to be.

The Chicken Ranch, eh? You might want to take him to the casino first, I think he's running low on dollar bills to uh...feed the chickens... ;)

8. Quick, run around the Earth
That way, you'll use up all the extra time and you'll be back in time to meet GOP.

you're just a girl -- I am already in The West. :eyes:

What?






Was it something I said?





Eek!
