Consuela, that's fantastic news. I hope you're made permament so that you can get on with the other important things in your life that you want to do (house, house, house).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man, y'all. Just got the following email from the person who sits in the next cube to me. (Who thankfully does not report directly to me anymore.)
I wanted to very humbly ask you for a favor. Could you possibly use a different name or word when you get frustrated, besides “Jesus Christ?” As you may know, I am a Christian and that name is very precious to me. My heart about shatters when I hear His name used that way. I know you don’t mean anything by it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Brenda, I think the only sane answer is to start saying "motherfucker" instead. You know, out of respect.

Pretty much my reaction, yeah.

Brenda, I find "Flying Spaghetti Monster!" to be very useful for those moments. Or "Fuck a flying dead duck!" Or "Dear sweet jebuslug!"

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I am doing my job! Oh, you`re talking to Jesse. Guilty conscience.
Thank goodness, Suela. Here`s hoping for a smooth transition, with raise!
I have painted my nails Verde from the Nubar Venetian Glass collection and this has apparently made me less homicidal, and it turns out I`m having quite a productive morning.
This afternoon is our last party, and then we`re on Christmas break. Or I am, anyway. The SO is working way too many holiday hours at the music store lessons. But I will be done, whoot. So now I need to do some self-assessment to see what needs doing over the next few weeks. I want to strike a balance of getting big boring work tasks done, big boring household tasks done, plus actually having the sensation of having time off. It will take a lot of discipline to achieve, so I may need to call on youse guys.
Oh, and the next Onerous Task day ended up the day after the concert & party, so it`ll be good, because I`ll want to lie around, but there will be lots to do. And if I do it, I could then have a nice clean house for the rest of the party. I mean, holiday season.
