Re: PPPS

Dear Mr Waitt

Your job application as the w/e alarm call service for Miss Maxwell has, I am sorry to inform you, been given to the other applicant for the job. Max, although a family memeber, and nepotism considerations aside, did take the mantle at 10 this morning. We are very sympathetic to the mitigating circumstances you have - hangover/sleepless night/broken phone/lost phone/inability to speak, earthquake, aliens invading your home, but feel that we need to allow nepotism to rule.

PPPPS

The child is a 2nd sprog. It is a case of too much time and money. The Mum is actually a sharp, funny, smart girl - she was one of the youngest prosecutors in the DA office, a TV anchor for ABC and then lifetime for legal issues + she had her own column in a newspaper for legal questions. I found all this to be even more impressive as she comes from one of those major families which do not tend to produce girls w/drive. Anyway all the energy she used to direct at her career is now directed at her kids. She has been one of my close friends since we met 8 yrs ago.

Later

Good morning. Just got this along with 3 other copies under two different titles.

Just realized today truly is the first day of the rest of my life. I woke up at 5 minutes to 8, threw on shorts and took the kids to school, went and got a coffee, checked my sked while waiting expecting to see a day filled with some stuff that I was going to be late for etc.

You know what's on my sked not a damn thing. So now here I sit, which I've never done, having coffee in my shorts, sandals and tshirt on a monday morning. "Usually" I'd be in my car racing off somewhere.

So they key is now, to fill up this newfound time with items that are more fun, interesting, exciting, inspiring, educational, beneficial, etc. No hurry, I'm just going to enjoy doing nothing for a minute.

Call me when you get a chance. I'm free....
