What a Horrible Day!



By Mrs. Cynthia Usher-Neuman-Terwilliger

Marguerite, you wouldn’t believe the day I’ve had. It’s all been so stressful! Well, first of all, Nanny Consuela called and said she had a doctor’s appointment, something about ‘growth’, blah blah, ‘spreading to the brain’, blah blah. I can barely understand the woman, her accent is SO thick! She’s Guatamexican or something, I don’t know what her real name is… Hmm? That’s because I call ALL my staff Consuela, even the men. It makes it easier for me; I can’t be bothered with unimportant details like names.

So I’m left in the house with the baby which is crying and dirty and trying to touch my Rochas dress with its paws. Thankfully, the rest of my staff of Consuelas arrived about 15 endless minutes later, so I escaped out to the club. But once I’m there, I’m forced to make a decision about what color paint George wanted for our yacht, SS Conspicuous Consumption . I nearly CRIED from the stress but, because of the Botox, my tears got sucked back into my head.

THEN I remembered I was lunching with Aubriana Charles-DuPont this afternoon. I rushed over to Alain Ducasse as fast as Driver Consuela could go. We hit a hard bump, I think it was a Mexican man selling ice pops from a cart because I could hear the bells when the Lexus ran it over, and I bashed my hand against the wall and broke a nail while trying to keep my Perrier from spilling!!! So I rush in looking quite frightful and…well… middle class. I know, right? Ewwww. Then Aubriana tells me that my son Gyeoffreey stabbed her son Fauntleroy with his silver spoon!

Great Gucci’s Ghost, I’m taking a week off at Le Suck et Tuck Spa to recover. Honestly, Margie, being a stay-at-home mother is absolutely EXHAUSTING.

Passwords

I work in IT for a fairly well known company, but I work for one of the smaller branches. It's just me and one other person and let me just say, he isn't the brightest bulb. We are suppose to change the passwords to the computers every three months, and I was going to be gone on the day that we were suppose to do it. I wrote down the list of passwords that he needed to... Read More » change it to in an Excel doc and told him that he needed change them before he left on Friday, but after everyone is gone for the weekend. Monday I get back and everyone is asking me why they cannot get onto their computer. It turns out the guy didn't like the passwords I had created and made up his own, and then forgot what they were.
