I just had a client tell me snootily, in not so many words, that I have no sense of humor. In front of another client. I have a sense of humor when something is actually, you know, FUNNY. I have never liked this woman, and today I was unable to hide it. People who announce that you don't have a sense of humor just because you don't think their particular brand of humor is funny belong in that same special hell as the people who demand that you SMILE! OMG!!1elventy. They are often the same people, whose mamas didn't teach them any nice manners. Julia, and they make my life just that much more bitter, they do.

After all they have just been lolling about playing with teenage witches. I'm sure they would be up for a smiting of the evil client case. And clearly Thursday needs to get here SOON. THURSDAY CANNOT GET HERE SOON ENOUGH, I NEED ME SOME CAS, STAT! I am sooooo in Cas withdrawals right now. And Cas/Dean eye!sexin' withdrawals.

WOOT! We have a venue! It's right up the road from Rich's house, we have the run of the park, there's a gorgeous old tower for photo ops, a pavilion in case it rains, we can pack in our own food and it's FREE!

OMG!!1elventy. So much fucking word for this. Here's what I was just telling Sara about the exchange: The doc is going out of town for the rest of the week, and we decided to close the office on Saturday, so we posted a sign on the front door saying we'll be closed that day. She came in and said, "Why are you going to be closed on Saturday?" I explained doc is out of town, and she said "So, just because she's not here your office can't be open? That's kind of silly, don't you think?" This is the first time since we moved into this building almost 3 years ago that we actually are closing a day that's not a holiday. We haven't had anyone wanting to schedule anything for that day, so doc thought it'd be nice to not have to pay us to sit around and twiddle our thumbs for 4 hours, so she decided to close for that day. I told the client as much, and then she said something like, "Well, I was just teasing you about it!" And I told her that we get grief from A LOT of clients for daring to be closed for one day, so we are all a little defensive about it, and then she said "I was only just being funny. If J. (our receptionist) were here, she would have thought it was funny (she wouldn't have), J. gets my sense of humor, where is J. anyways?" I tell her she's at lunch, and she said "Well, you tell her that she's not allowed to go anywhere if I'm supposed to come in. You see, I was just being funny there too, J. would have gotten the joke." Ugh. So not funny, and more than a little hurtful.

So there's all this excitement about Lost. I don't want to fall out of the study groove, so I'm trying to remain semi-detached and focused on school. Key word *trying*.

Misha Collins had a brief guest spot as a possible suspect on the NCIS repeat I watched on USA yesterday. And then another suspect was the shorter of the 2 side-kicks on Castle.

Yeah, I've seen people mention that appearance of Misha's. I've never seen it, though.

So, has anyone else watched this yet? It's a 10 minute condensation of the entirety of Lost so far, done by "The Reduced Shakespeare Company. ;D

Now, you know, I'd be the first to add this to your list of faults, but I'm a stickler for accuracy . . . and no way this is true. In fact, she sounds pretty humorless herself.
