God I love the Internet! I got a call today on my iPhone from 800-813-6128 and called it back only to get “All agents are currently busy, please hold” interspersed with bad smooth jazz.
Being a total Curious George I googled it and got this result from an awesome site called 800notes.com.
I had just called Comcast from my iPhone last night because my home phone wasn’t working...

I love Maureen Dowd!
“Shut your piehole,” Cheney replied flatly. “Everyone’s sick of you being an apologist for torture. Why don’t you go join that pantywaist Specter on the other side where you belong?”

The Castro is getting a farmer’s market. It would be even better if it felt like spring instead of winter today…

FML-worthy?
I am getting ready for work and keep hearing a news teaser for this story about a pregnant woman that was walking in the woods, came across a bear, was chased by the bear, ran into the road, was hit by a car and — the topper — the driver didn’t even stop after after hitting her.
The bear was later put down and now the poor woman is getting flooded with calls telling her it is...

Define "Normal"
Donovan: Donnie wants to go on a normal date - such a pipe dream
me: Isn't XXXX normal?
Donovan: Ugh
me: Although I guess being married to a woman, having a 5-yr old child and dating men is far from normal

Awesome!
“Ted Mazetier said he stopped Wednesday night to help two men with a disabled car when one punched him in the face and demanded his keys. Mazetier said he kicked the man in the groin and the other in the belly. The two men fled as a passer-by stopped to help.”
I am on a mini tumblr hiatus from just not having any free time.
I had my birthday last weekend, a move on Monday that I have yet to unpack from and have six other friends with birthdays this week!
Labor Day should be renamed Lovin’ Day if you know what I mean…

Donovan: ha - yes
i just happened to look at the time
me: Is it double lucky to be born at 4:22 on 4/22?

Moving Day
After probably the best birthday weekend ever I am moving today.
I feel so bad for my movers. It’s bad enough that my new place is five flights up but it is going to be 86 degrees in San Francisco today and the entire block in front of my house is being torn up for a sewer replacement project.
Not fun times.
Silver lining: dinner at the Slanted Door with my brother-in-law tonight.

Love you Anne!
I work in Financial Services marketing for a very large bank and a very common term in banking is “in foot print.” It essentially means anywhere your bank has a physical presence like a branch.
With online marketing and people moving from one region to another you can have customers that are “out of footprint” (i.e., they live where you don’t have branches so you...

My retired dad sent an email to the family today.
From his house in the South of France.
Where he spends at least half of the year.
South of France.
He’s complaining that it is raining there this week. This is the follow up to the one a few days ago complaining that the clouds and were obscurring the view across the valley to Lacoste. Wah!
(and he wonders where my sense of entitlement...
