Renting a Car

Question, why do rental car companies charge drop off fees for one way rentals?

Goodness! I just want to travel one way to my hometown (I have to bring my mom's birthday gift/dog). If anyone knows of a better deal, let me know. It's coming up to almost $250 for a one day, one way rental. What a rip off and waste of money!

Office Temperature

I just have to vent.

I'm at work; sitting at my desk. It's warm. Last week it was cold. The week before it was hot. Do you see a pattern? When our office was being built and the temperature control was discussed the "powers that be" thought it was too much money to install a thermostat.

Because of their lack of vision (think of how the Emperor says it in Return of the Jedi), the employees suffer. I say keep it cold and bring a sweater to work. I don't like to sweat.

Oh well, back to work and listening to podcasts

Dark Sided

I'm sure you've seen this. If not, enjoy. I was at dinner this evening at Applebees and me and my friend B were cracking up about this.

DVR Dilemma

I have a problem. My DVR can't tape more than two shows at once. I record 30 Rock and Smallville during the 8 o'clock hour. The show is so good now. The clip below proves it!

Interesting story. A coworker is going back to hear country due to her status in this country. She has two terriers and is only taking one back. She so graciously is giving me one of her dogs. What an honor! I'm actually giving it to someone who I know will love and take care of it...my mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Closing....C.L.O.S.I.N.G

It's a sad day. Spelling Bee is one of my favorite shows. It started as an improv downtown, moved to Off Broadway and then Broadway. I saw it two times and loved it every time.

Never going to Europe

At least not until I'm extremely wealthy. One pound for every two dollars??? That's crazy. The US is worth nothing. Our currency and administration is just so mismanaged. It's embarrassing.

Xanadu Goes Public

I've never heard this happening before. I guess Broadway is making someone a lot of money, wish it was me.

Check out Cheyenne Jackson...looking oh so pretty!
