A minor friendship rant.

Everyone has a crisis that requires immediate attention at one point, or several, during their lives. I'll understand if you have to cancel lunch the morning of our date if you are having a crisis of some sort, like your washing machine broke and flooded your place; your self/family/cat/dog/finch has a medical emergency; your car breaks down; etc.

My sympathy is stretched a bit thin when you're cancelling because you have a meeting from 8:30AM - 12:30PM and they're serving you lunch AND you email me that morning to tell me you have to cancel.

What am I? Second-hand to a free lunch? I find it very hard to believe that you'd find out about a half-day meeting the morning of that meeting. It would have been nice to call me the night before, at least. ::grumble::

Okay, ranting aside, fortunately I am free now for lunch today as Dana wants to take me out in appreciation for the PowerPoint work I did for her earlier this week. Her boss's boss and her boss's boss's boss were in town and I offered to help her out with their meeting. Thanks to my friend who bailed on me, I can take Dana up on her offer. We're going to Palomino's today for salad. With bleu cheese.

Rob and I picked up the hutch to his desk last night. We may work on it this weekend. Phil especially loves to put together this sort of furniture, as I have lots of it and he's had practice.
