Perkins, I posted something to the good stuff tumblr thinking of you yesterday, and it's come up.
Just so's you know.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.
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.

Seriously! These are people who will sue daycare centers out of existence for painting their trademarked characters on the wall.
I almost wish I still owned stock in the company.

Hmph. You and your craxy bacon thing.
