Damnable no-shows

[judecorp]

I had three home visits after playgroup today and two of them no-showed me. That is so frustrating... it's like, okay, here I am ready to do the work and my productivity suffers anyway. Grar. I'm at 108% of quota right now so I don't have anything to worry about, but yuck. I'd rather just, you know, have all of my scheduled appointments.

I got home earlier than expected (I guess the one perk of no-shows) and after talking with Tim for a bit, have parked myself on the couch to watch Meet the Fockers from Netflix so I can send it back and get something else. It's not a stellar movie so I don't have to pay attention, which is nice.

I was supposed to have two Netflix movies but only got one. I hope it's not another missing movie. I wonder if The Movie Thief is involved. HA!

It's Survivor night. YAY! Coworker Gina and Ben are coming over, whee. :)

Funny story:

This morning I coughed so hard that I set off my gag reflex, and I threw up a little bit in the kitchen sink. I had taken my 4 honkin' Metformin XR about 10 minutes before, and two of them floated on up. I watched them, perfectly whole, fly out of my mouth and down the drain. They looked JUST like they did going down.

So I didn't know what to do - do I take two more? Do I just leave it as is? In a compromise maneuver, I took one extra. Heh, I'm even diplomatic with drugs.

Is Netflix throttling you?

When I accidentally throw up my BC pill, I take another one.

I just checked Netflix and everything looks okay. Even though I mailed my last two movies together, one got there a couple of days before... so I'm scheduled to receive my second movie tomorrow.

All's well! :)

"have parked myself on the couch to watch Meet the Fockers from Netflix so I can send it back and get something else."

...So I'm not the only one who will get a movie from Netflix, not be excited about watching it, but will watch it anyway so I can send it back and get something else. Somehow it just feels to wasteful to send them back unwatched.

Heh, I feel like I /have/ to watch them... even if by "watching" I really just run it on the television and do other things.

One time I had a movie for so long that I ended up sending it back unwatched after about 30 days. It felt so weird to do that, now I just let them run... or at least TRY them and if they are terrible, shut them off and send them back.

But yeah, I'm anal about playing the movies. Hee!
