the job front, the word got around that the vp of the company had the vehicle that we were looking for and i found myself driving it to the loading docks. lucky me, not only was i nervous, but now it's the vp's car. great. i waited until all of the big shots were in a meeting and i snuck out to do the job without any interference. i finished without any damage to the vehicle. whew! and the switch works just like i said so take that gm! now i'll just have to argue about it with them and try to convince them that it's a problem with something in the vehicle and not our switch. on the personal front, i had asked sis #4 the dates of the other january birthdays in the family since she seems to be keeping track of them. she told me that today is sis #1's b-day and tomorrow is niece #5's b-day. so i called sis #1 around 11 to get an early jump on the lunch rush birthday phone calls and be the first one outside of her household to wish her a happy birthday. well i certainly was first. "happy birthday d! it's me andrea" "oh thank you, but mine is tomorrow." which is worse? being late or early? (i find the early experience a bit embarassing) after some explanation of my woes, we formed an alliance and went through as many birthdays as we could remember and wrote them down, which is no fair for me because it seems that i only have problems with the january ones. i have everyone else written down in a handy calendar that i am sure to remember to look at before and after and not on the actual day. i have sent sis #4 a nasty email, but she hasn't replied yet. hopefully she will say sorry with a cheesecake.
