Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But I'm feeling like I should at least try, at least go look and see what I could find. If I can't get anything better, well, no loss; this is still a pretty good deal. But maybe I can. Maybe I could find something that didn't have ALL the same benefits as this one, but maybe I'd be willing to lose the telecommuting or take a $10k paycut for a job that didn't leave me exhausted and demoralized every day.

Yes.

Perkins, I posted something to the good stuff tumblr thinking of you yesterday, and it's come up.

Just so's you know.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I don't want to know, do I? Dammit.

You really don't. I've honestly taken a lot of her music off of 'Trick the iPod until I can forget about her personally and like her music again.

Then I will remain wilfully ignorant. Invoking the Miles Davis clause is difficult.

My sister is tormenting me with her orange pants. Why does she hate me so?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

So I now have an official, framed certificate stating that I have achieved 10 years of employment at NCI. Where I'm going to put this thing, I dunno.

Good lord, that publisher stole from Disney? That's like stealing from the Mafia! They'll destroy her!

I completely concur. I think exploring other work is the right option, and you've got a good sense of what you're willing to trade off for your peace of mind. In short, Go Zen!

I've had the miserable making jobs more than once and it is a dire thing to wake up and face.
