OK, I'm once again very highly ticked off. Was supposed to pick up several siblings and their friends and take them home after the movie tonight - Dad woulda, but he's on call, and the beeper doesn't work well that far from his work, so he needed to be close to the phone. All well and good.

The movie ended forty minutes ago. I spent much of that time trying to find them. Finally Bill called and let me know they got a ride with a friend's Mom - who has a big rear wheel drive van and a little baby and shouldn't have to drive the back way out to the house late at night. Meanwhile I've wasted much of MY time trying to find people and I'm het up again.

If they were a few years younger and I was a parent rather than a sibling, I think a paddle would come in handy right about now. Even as it is, I wouldn't mind driving out there with one.

If this was a one time occurrance it'd be one thing, but it isn't.
