So the octogenarian librarian called off from work today. She just called to acknowledge that our lunch-date-from-hell was supposed to be today, but could we move it to tomorrow? I told her I’m having lunch with Janice tomorrow, which is true. My voice was also pretty flat when I said that perhaps we should continue this discussion about rescheduling when she comes back to work. Yawn. This is so much more trouble than it’s worth. But I AM going to lunch with SM! We need to commiserate about being poor and unhappy in the various aspects of our lives. 🙂
