169. dear jon emails.... maybe?

170. lost a cake copywriting job because I forgot to send a short email to a client saying "I will talk to you about this later on in the week." Instead, the client thinks I've gone AWOL and hires someone else behind my back. Summarily dismisses me with an email saying "i have hired another writer." It isn't the loss of this particular job that's the problem, it's the fact that my buddies who lined me up with the work will think I'm an irresponsible idiot and not hire me anymore.

weird, i was just talking about lupus last night, because my gf's ex-co-worker has it. doesn't ilxor melissa w also suffer from it?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 December 2006 22:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I remember sometime in the past mel w describing some medical condition she has or maybe it's she had by now, I can't remember what she said, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't lupus. I might be wrong, but I think I would have remembered, because a couple of relatives on my wife's side of the family have it, it's nasty. Good wishes to those folks mentioned upthread.

aw slocki that is a bummer. my grandma died two years ago and i'm still bumming about it (although at that point in her life passing on was >>>>>>>> living like a bedbound senile vegetable.)

― paresthesia hilton (get bent), Sunday, 10 December 2006 01:58 (seventeen years ago) link

thanks dudes... two in one month (other was friend killed in a hit & run) is a srsly depressing thing.

i've never written/delivered a eulogy before but i'm doing it for my grandmother. i have total eulogy stage fright... but i imagine we'll get a pretty good crowd

― hank s1ockli (hanks1ockli), Sunday, 10 December 2006 02:11 (seventeen years ago) link

and yeah she was ready to go. 95. lived through everything. died surrounded by her family; actually it's kind of amazing, my dad was RUSHING back on a plane last night from china, we didn't think he'd make it in time but she held on literally up to the moment he showed up. he saw her last breath. still kind of reeling from that. it was really really moving

― hank s1ockli (hanks1ockli), Sunday, 10 December 2006 02:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I went to six funerals in one seven month period in 2000. There were three other funerals that I didn't even go to. I hate to be cliché and say "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger," but by that last service, I was pretty much "yeah, okay, let's get on with it."

― PPlains (PPlains), Sunday, 10 December 2006 07:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm sorry s1ocki :( My granny passed away a few months ago, and it hit me a lot harder than I ever expected it to. It's a terrible thing.

― step hen faps (Curt1s Stephens), Sunday, 10 December 2006 07:35 (seventeen years ago) link

aw, s1ocki, that is so tough. sounds like your grandmother lived a good strong life though - getting to do a eulogy for her is a good thing too

― impermanent rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Sunday, 10 December 2006 07:49 (seventeen years ago) link

man that is awesome that he made it in time. when my dad's dad died, he was in nyc and had to rent a car and drive to philly at the drop of a hate and didn't make it in time, but they told his dad he was there and he was so out of it he didn't notice. my dad felt so bad about missing it though :(

190. being back at home means i have to listen to my mom recall the most banal details of her life to anyone and everyone she can ensnare into conversation ("i got this handbag as a gift but i didn't like it so i went to bloomingdale's to exchange it and do you know how much it cost? TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS! for an ugly handbag! can you imagine??" three times i've heard this story already, and i've only been home since friday night.)

― boo you whore (get bent), Sunday, 10 December 2006 15:31 (seventeen years ago) link

the worst part is how she spins these stories into 20 minute monologues. she's on the phone and she's STILL talking about the handbag.

― boo you whore (get bent), Sunday, 10 December 2006 15:34 (seventeen years ago) link

slocki: much love. i kinda feel like if one more person dies, gets sick, drops out of sight, moves, goes crazy, or whatever i'm writing off this year completely.

and on a totally lighter note:

191. had that gross "just woke up from a nap" groggy feeling all friggin weekend.

thanks strongo.

the funeral is done, the eulogy went OK i think but when got to the cemetery, you're never gonna believe this, but they had dug up the wrong plot!! so it was a bit of a comedy of errors, the actual burial part. luckily it got straightened out. and honestly it's a pretty funny story.

here's a thing about my friend:

Take care, slocki (& strongo) (& every1)!

194. Got beeped for work crap because some folks don't know when other folks are running COBOL procedures that are going against tables that will be unavailable during the weekend. Fart in my mouth.
