			She must be going for Nutcase of the Month Award, because Stupid Calling-for-Geargie Woman just called back once more! And once more, she has been informed that this is not a bank, nor is Georgie here. Let's hear it for listening skills, folks.

			Actually, I can't really believe someone really is this dumb. They must be prankers. Particularly unimaginative and annoying prankers.

			I get a couple calls like this every week, but usually I don't have to repeat the company name more than once, and usually they don't call back in an hour... and go through the same thing ALL OVER AGAIN.

			Arrgh. Why are people so dumb? How do these people survive to adulthood?

The website's service was to provide yuppies and deep blue liberals a border-hopping service to Canada, so that they could bypass the hassle of immigration. The hikers would provide such basic amenities as solar-powered espresso makers, GPS watches, and little satellite-hookup tvs so their clients would not miss the latest <i>Queer Eye for the Straight Guy</i> while trekking to the Land of Maple Leaves, Bacon, and French-Canadian Freedom Fighters. The dream was incredibly lucid, right down the font I should use for best effect.		I'm not making sense, am I? Well, recent life has been surreal, but in a fascinating way.

			Hoooooo hum. Friday again. This is the day that the other secretary is in as well, so basically my duties are to be backup phone operator, which I only need to actually do when she's on a call or on her lunch break, and to do whatever odd jobs people thrust upon me.

			Translation: Every half hour or so I answer a call. Every two hours or so I fill a machine of some type with paper, make coffee, clean dishes in the kitchen, or do something rather random. Previous random chores have been to assemble collapsible poster stands for a conference, run a binder to the copier's and make 5 copies, go buy beer for the office, and make a small excel spreadsheet.

			As you may guess, this bores me out of my tiny little insane mind. I pass the time by hitting my favorite sites, reading webcomics, checking le email, and forumwhoring. Sadly, though, the most engrossing and time-consuming of these activities, forumwhoring or, as I sometimes call it, engaging in relevant and intellectually stimulating discussion via the interent (AHAHAHAHAHA!), is not available today. xForums will not load. I am not sure if this is an issue on my end or on their end. This means I get to subject everyone who actually reads this sad, sad excuse for a journal to EVEN MORE of my maudlin and scatterbrained ramblings. Couldn't you just pee yourself out of SHEER JOY??!!!? I know I could.

			So what shall I do now? Well, first off, I can agonize more over my Legends character. I simply am going to drive myself insane with not being able to make a plan here. I don't know what I want her to do. Well, correction: I do know what I want to do, I am just not sure I can get away with it and not have everyone misunderstand before I'm done and try to shank me, which would be very sad and make kittens and cute puppies cry.

			I could do something I have been meaning to do for some time, namely, make a page here that has all the webcomics and random-as sites I frequent in a nice list. For some weird reason I dislike using bookmarks for this. Maybe a short page of links will make my life easier, and keep me from forgetting things.

			Oh! I also thought of making a page for people's City of Heroes characters, where we (read: Morrigu and I) could keep a log of what level and abilities and whatnot all those little superheroes have, and muse over options for enhancements and powers. Hey, there's a set of Monster Ranches up on the main page... Hmmm. If I really want to twink out I could even stick up screenshots of the characters in question looking badass or some junk like that. Shall think more on this.

			And the boss' dog needs to be taken for walkies, so I guess that is it for now. Wish me luck.
