Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I wear wrist braces when sleeping, and use old socks with the toes cut off and a small hole in the heel for thumb-peek-thru effect. Keeps the brace from getting stinky and needing to be washed as often. Obviously, thin and smooth socks are better for this job.

eta: the modified sock goes btwn brace and skin, in case that wasn't clear.

I am now taking bets on how early i can get to bed tonight. (just bed, not sleep, that's far too difficult to predict, esp in this heat.)

I SHOULD be in bed by 6pm. I NEED to be in bed by 8. I'm honestly wondering if i can manage to climb into bed before dusk. Already turned on the AC as there is zero chance of falling asleep without night or cool air.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Pete, can you make a trip to e_o's place with a big wooden mallet? Sounds like she could use some help there.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

The rep I talked to at Overturn Prop 8 says they're only hiring people with political canvassing experience. Boo. I guess I'll have to get a regular job and then go volunteer for marriage equality.

boo. that's disappointing laga. Funny, I was just wondering how that went, and thought, "oh, that's probably the interview that was tomorrow not today, I'll ask tomorrow". Good luck with the regular job! Any good prospects in the paper? Is CA EDS (I think that was it's initials) helping any?

EDD. That's the interview I thought was today. I registered at their website but I haven't gotten any additional information. I've been concentrating my energy at the career counseling office. They say networking is very very important. So far I haven't picked up the phone to start that process. Even though I know keeping in touch is just good business, I still feel like I'm asking for a favor.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Well, we have unemployed friends and acquaintances -- DH has lots of connections -- and he loves helping people connect. Keeping his connections vital and current helps him too -- Just in case.

Call or email people -- really.
