Yesterday at work was a pain.

I was at the front desk because Kelly was at another damn wedding, so I had to deal with idiots all day. And right before I left this doctor from the Phoenix office rang about where she was supposed to stay in New York. Now, I don't deal with that, John does, but he was in Chicago and I didn't know and Linus refused to talk to her and told me to tell her to co-ordinate with the LA office, so I did and Dr. Phoenix snaps at me "I don't have time to spend all day on the phone!" and hung up on me.

Now, I had never spoken to this doctor before, and I had always gotten the impression that she was nice, but I was really mad at her, so I was walking down the hallway and passed by someone and said "Dr. Phoenix is a stone bitch" and he said "O, she is so mean!"

So at least she's mean to everyone.

So Melody's in town!

She trundled up to see me at work and we went out afterwards. It was really cool to meet her, but we've talked on the phone, so it wasn't entirely out of left field. However, we also met up with The Journalist That Must Not Be Named, and meeting the both of them at once was absolutely mindblowing!! We had dinner and gossiped about all the other journalists for hours, and it was funny because we all read each other, so every once in a while someone would turn to someone else, someone she had just met a minute ago, and ask something like "So, are you still househunting?" or "How's that new job working out?"

It was the first time meeting anyone from online for them--I'm more of an old hand at it, but you really do have to keep reminding yourself that you've only just met for the first time.

Then it was 11p, so Melody rang her friends that she was staying with and they weren't there, and she didn't know how to get back there and even if she figured it out, she didn't have keys, so she came home with me.

Yes, her friend with whom she came to New York DITCHED HER!! And this was the girl who was REALLY suspicious of me and thought that I was an ax murderer or something, and she abandoned her to my clutches! (Hi Melody's Mom, are you reading this before Melody talks to you?)

Anyway on the way back here, Melody was going to try to call again, she looked through her pockets and realized that she had lost the number. We got to my apartment, and there was a message from the friend, but she didn't leave the number!

So she slept on my sofa as well as them damn kitties would let her.

We were watcching some TV, and on Conan there was an animal guy who brought on a hedgehog (though they mostly concentrated on the meal worms), and afterwards when John Larroquette came on the show he was looking around for animal poop, and Andy said "The hedgehog crap is right over there" and Melody piped up:

"That's what I say every day when I check your journal!"

One year ago today:
"Look at the tiny little bird cage!"
