  So far, today is a much more relaxed day than yesterday. However, I now have my “irk” of the day: I booked roundtrip tickets for someone that I work for. I was given the dates by someone else. Flights booked, itinerary printed, placed in folder & given to traveler. Today, I find out that they never went on that trip nor was it cancelled. We’ve lost the money on that trip and we really can’t do anything about it. I feel like yelling at the person who gave me the dates because she looks at me all innocently, but I’m not going to yell or really say anything because it wouldn’t do any good. In truth, she could have given me the correct dates and I just screwed everything up myself. Who really knows at this point?
Luckily, it wasn’t one of our most expensive trips. Instead, I’ll just take a few deep breaths and try to think about other things and how I can make this whole situation better. But I still want to hit something. In breaking news: the Massachusetts' highest court today ruled that the state couldn’t deny gays and lesbians the right to marry. The court stopped short of allowing marriage licenses to be issued to the couples that challenged the existing law -- and gave the state Legislature 180 days to find a solution. (courtesy CNN.com) Interesting development considering if one state allows same sex marriages, then all states must allow them.
I’ll be curious to see how this one ends. We’ve all heard of jelly bracelets. We wore them in the 80’s (a-la Madonna style) and they are of course making a comeback. However, in some of the local schools here in NYC, the jelly bracelets are associated with a game called “snap” in which different colored bracelets represent different sexual acts. In some variations of the game, a yellow bracelet symbolizes hugging; purple means kissing; blue means oral sex; and red means a lap dance and if someone breaks a bracelet, he or she is entitled to a sexual favor.
I, for one, cannot believe this! Its nuts! These kids are like 12 and 13 years old. They’re KIDS! They’ve likened to a modern day form of spin-the-bottle. You know, I hate to admit it, but of the 2 or 3 times I played spin-the-bottle, I always hoped it would never land on me! I hated that game!
