w00t! *does the dance of freedom*

[saifai]

Got me a new driver.  I think I mentioned that I quit my route.  Had an argument with the driver they'd given the route to and just wouldn't take it.

Anyway, they took the route away from her and gave it back to me with a new driver.  She's just great so far.  We have a lot of fun together. 

She's a former marine.  She also reminds me a lot of the driver I had last year.  She moved to Idaho because of her girlfriend, ended up staying after her girlfriend cheated on her.  Still lives with said girlfriend along with the new girlfriend of the ex.

Bonus?  She laughs when she's stressed.  I can live with that.  I do much of the same.

Today was an early out for the elementary students.  We had lunch together at the IHOP.  It's amazing what a little neon green shirt (courtesy of the new driver) will do to take care of my little invisi-Saifai problem with the servers there.  Not sure if I've ever mentioned it.  I've got an invisibility curse with both Denny's and IHOP.  It's like once I enter the restaurant and sit down, they promptly forget I exist.

I'll be checking in now and then over the next week.  Spring break started for me today.  I got an entire week of freedom!

P.S.  Anyone got an unbiased (or at least biased on the POV of Nick or James) of the recent Buffy reunion con?  I've read a couple, and both were clearly humongo fans of SMG.  Still haven't gotten over her since Season 6 Buffy stomped all over my Spike (why yes, I can hold a grudge.  why do you ask?).  I've read a few comments on things Nick Brendon said and laughed quite a bit, especially over that Susan Lucci comment (ouch, but damn funny).  I'm curious to know what more banter went on between James Marsters, Nick Brendon, and maybe Seth Green.  Any links with transcripts of the infamous Q & A are muchly appreciated.

P.P.S.  I got me some jury duty.  I'm making plans of escape.  They gave me short notice too.  Hopefully they won't call me.  I sooo can't afford to be called to duty.  My employer doesn't pay for the time I'm gone, and you know I'll make just enough for a Happy Meal from the state.  Joy.

I have an invisibility problem at restaurants too, plus I have this fear that I don't know where to go when it's time to pay or that I'll forget what my waiter looks like (which happens all the time). I stay home now, LOL.

They make it pretty rough to get out of jury duty. I had to get letters from both my doctor and my daughter's. I was scheduled to go in right after my thyroid surgery last April. My neighbor said there's a number on the jury duty slip somewhere that says what order you're called in, and if yours is over 150 or so, you'll be fine.

Yay for the new driver. I have my fingers crossed that you can get out of jury duty.

What Susan Lucci comment? Where are you finding transcripts of what they said? I watched some video, and it was of Joss praising Sarah to heaven and Sarah being all flattered and embarrassed. I want to know more of what Nick said and how the audience reacted to Nick because he's MY TV boyfriend! Also, I want to know about what Charisma said and such. I love her so much, and damn, I miss her being on my TV. I knew David wasn't going to be there, but I'm surprised that Eliza and Alyson didn't show up.

*huggles* good to hear from you. :) I hate that invisibility complex... happens to me on and off.

Speaking of Buffy.... Marsters is going to be at the convention again next month.
