Whee! Even after hanging up from the morning round of phone calls (mostly to voice mail, though I managed to make one appointment with a real person), I could get back online with no trouble! ::kisses virtual ground again::

But people are probably straggling back to their offices after lunch now, so it's probably time to get offline again. Now, should I make more phone calls or should I go camp out at social services and demand to find out if I have a caseworker and what they can do for me if such a person exists? Which activity would increase my day's frustration quotient most efficiently?

Normally I refuse to pay a math tax unless the estimated annuity value is more than $250 million, but I'm really really tempted to buy a lottery ticket now that other options seem more and more fruitless. Yes, I know what the odds are, which is why I generally refuse to buy the stupid tickets.

On happier topics, linguistics geeks who haven't already seen it should go play The 34 Languages of McDonald's.

Also, I really meant to link to the NSA Coloring Book before now. Go CryptoCat! As [livejournal.com profile] yasminke pointed out, you can follow links to other kids pages at the CIA and FBI.

i have a question for you... what area are you in specifically? i want to help with info gathering, and with hunting down leads, but i am terrible about remembering where people are specifically. i mean county/city/etc.

Languages are fun! Unfortunately I'm sufficiently brain-fried these days that I was really disappointingly bad at the quiz. I miss my linguistics classes.

And unless Yahoo's acting up again, the e-mail should be at your address by now.

Good luck with that appointment! I hope something pans out.

Well, the appointment's actually physical therapy. But since my health problems are one of the two main stressors in my life right now, I can use the good luck! Thank you!

Which of the two annoying activities did you end up going for?

Still sending you positive vibes, CBlove.

Going to social services, who gave me a phone number to call.

That language thing. I did well on certain regions, piss-ass poor in others.

And I hope those annoying activities didn't over-annoy.
