a) remember there is a meeting 7-9pm on March 31st. Oh, at Coffee Corner, or Corner Coffee, I forget the order of the words.
If I'm not incarcerated for assaulting a pseudo-coworker (which currently requires travel to Chicago, and after Wednesday, will require driving across all of North Dakota in a rental car to do it), I'll be there, even if I get fired for the email I just hit send on (it's not all that likely, but there's an outside chance), I'll be there. There should really be an emoticon for "I want to throttle you," not just the old useless I'm laughing smiely :) I mean, seriously, we need some USEFUL emoticons. WORK useful.
my proposals -
a) throttling you like a cat in a violent Tom and Jerry cartoon. (eyes bulged out, neck stretched out)
b) that thing the abominable snowman does to wile e. coyote, where his feet stretch out every time he baps wile on the head
c) some gesture involving the writer (me) wondering if the other person (the recipient) has a tinfoil coated ceiling. AYSUS (Are you sure you're sane?)
d) some kind of "bad touching," "don't touch me there" emoticon, for when people try to #$(*&#$ you.
e) one for the middle finger that most people won't get for at least a year. I can add it to my work email signature. TT?
f) that one cartoons do when they fall a long way and they're hurt. Or dizzy.
I guess if it were easy they wouldn't have to pay me to do it, right?
Awk. 7pm, time to go home.

You're right. Emoticons are altogether too cheerful. And frankly, work is not that cheerful. I heartily second the need for options a and c.
I think it's Corner Coffee, not Coffee Corner.

I have no idea if I'm going to get to the "write it like you've lost it" experiment. My husband/boyfriend/lover/significant other/roommate/whatever's computer died on Monday, and it's been a slow, laborious process to test everything and see what we can or can't do to resurrect it. I've been working on editing a couple shorts during down time at work (i.e., damn near all day because all I'm experiencing is down time [HI, EURYDICE! FEEL FREE TO HATE ME!]), so I'll just tell Peter - not ask, TELL - that Saturday and Sunday are my days to write. At least we've gotten the cat broken of his habit of trying to open Peter's bedroom door.
