Baseball Cliches

1. In what way this week did you strike out?

I have been far from patient from certain members of my household. Having said that, I can't think of anything else, which means it was a VERY good week.

2. In what way this week did you hit a home run?

I made a phone call to a friend that I was dreading. And I was right to dread it, but it's done now. The call, anyway.

3. In what way this week did you make a twin killing?

WTF? OK, now that I've found what the heck that is--can you tell I don't know recent baseball terminology?--finding a way to get rid of two deceased computers and their components for free.

4. In what way this week did you make a diving save?

I think that my response to a certain person today when she snorted at me and another staff member was pretty awesome. I said, "Excuse me?" and (yes, truly) she repeated the snort in slo-mo while looking right at me. When she stopped I broke eye contact and said, "Thanks. I just wanted to be sure I heard you right." She had already called us both racists because we wouldn't break the rules for her. Bitch.

5. Who saved the game for you in the late innings?

Jenny. Had I not had a good dose of "good friend vibes" I would never have had the strength to make the phone call, or plan a visit to the person this week.
