if you had asked me...

...yesterday afternoon around 2:45 pm, if i was in good shape to leave, my answer would have been a very big "scarily so!" and, then 3pm hit...

i was walking in the door from picking up snacks, for my daughter's hebrew class that was meeting here, and although i was a little disgusted by the weather (we have had black ice and grey skies, with yesterday rain, snow and nothing but cold all in a short amount of time...), when the phone was ringing....

with no time to take off my gross shoes, i went running through the house looking for the phone, and yeah! it was a new client call! it made me happy that i ran through the house without taking my shoes off and i was even happier i didn't slip in them running for the phone. anyway, it sounds like a cute couple. they actually own pomg bike tours, which looks like a great bike tour co...check them out at www.pomgbike.com, here in vermont....but how to pull together their info and proposal before i leave, as they would like to depart the day before i return, so all will need to be done by tomorrow?!

anyway, after getting the kids snacked up and ready for hebrew, i went online to begin working on this for them, when i saw my new work e.mail account sending me 14,000 old deleted e.mails!!! by the time it was done it was sending me over 31,000 of the same old deleted e.mails.........aarrrgghhh. if i could tell you how much time i have spent on the phone with my web hosting company this week alone, over this very issue, you would either giggle or turn to alcohol. so, there i was again, and now i'm mad! i feel bad taking my frustration out on the new person on the phone, when i call however, after 6 times in the past day and a half explaining the same issue and having them doubt me, and then start all over "recreating the situation" so they can see for themselves?! and the heavens would open up, if you could ever get a supervisor on the phone, much less the same person you spoke with an hour before, so as to not have to go through all of this again!!!!

you might ask, "allison, did you get it worked out?" well, as my computer is flipping out right now deleting 31,437 e.mails, the answer would have to be a big "NO!"

so, it might be better off if you just don't ask me anything today....

hope your day is a good one.
