When September comes, I may have to go to California. And Las Vegas. I may have to work meetings in California and Las Vegas on the same day.

ChaosBoy wants a lot from someone he's not that willing to pay decently.

Today, I worked hard. Pretty much all day.

So much so that, unusually for me, I had only one e-mail exchange all day. It started with a pain, as so many things do.

That topic passed quickly (although less quickly than it might have, had I not taken 6-1/2 hours to respond to the e-mail announcement) and meatloaf took over.

It's not that I have a circle of friends who have a fascination with baked beef shards or anything. It's just that I made meatloaf over the weekend. Since I also made Giant Pot O'Soup, there's more food in the refrigerator than the R.C. and I can reasonably be expected to eat within, well, within a reasonable time frame.

All of which is by way of asking y'all if you know if meatloaf can be frozen or not. I've been assured that it can be, but I've never known anyone to do it. As I told the R.C., I don’t assume everything freezes, do you?

I don't know. It's not that meatloaf strikes me as a delicately balanced dish full of subtle nuances that might be lost in the freezing process (especially mine), it's just that I never thought of it before.

I don't like for things to be new and strange.

Speaking of new, strange, and unpleasant, today was Bookkeeping Day at the office. This means I spent 4-1/2 hours slowly and painstakingly generating invoices and writing checks, desperately trying to keep my dyslexia and my complete indifference to anything involving numbers from interfering with my (already limited) brain processes.

I was doing okay until I reached the rent, at which time something (or possibly several somethings) went horribly wrong.

I don’t know.

I got very confused.

The system is supposed to generate this bill on the first, automatically but it didn’t seem to do it this month, so I generated one, but then I couldn’t figure out how to make a partial payment, so I voided it and created two, one for each payment, and then the automatically generated one showed up, so I deleted the second two I’d generated and changed the amount on the automatically generated one to match what we were actually paying and generated a second one for the unpaid amount but when I print the first automatically generated one, it shows we paid the full amount and not the partial payment I put into it but when I look at it online, it shows the lower amount. And I can’t make it believe we paid last month, either.

I hate playing bookkeeper.
