I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm strangely un-excited. Much like megan a couple of days ago, I'm not willing to actually believe in it until the formal offer comes. Though it will, no question--the new boss-to-be spent years teasing me about how he was going to steal me away from Beloved!Ex-Boss the first chance he got, and once he hears that I'm on the verge of being hired he will pitch an epic shit fit at any bureaucratic bullshit that gets in the way. So it'll happen. It just won't happen until it actually does.

Ack! A little sliver of actual excitement just stabbed through. I have to go find Beloved!Ex-Boss tomorrow and smish him to bits.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh JZ! I'm so incredibly excited for you!

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

humourlessbitchesmoviereview.com, here we come!

Truly. I'd bookmark it. It's one of those things that I wish I didn't feel was needed, but I do.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

So in vintage clothing news (which is the only kind of news I seem to have lately) this lady I know who sells vintage clothes out of her house asked me if I would list some things on Etsy for her, in exchange for a 30% cut. I said yes, thinking she'd give me ten or fifteen things.

She gave me 50. I don't even know where to START.

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

Today I had a craving for a bumper sticker that said got slash? And then I regained my sanity. But I still kinda want the shirt.

JZ, that is awesomecakes with awesome sauce!

The real question is, don't these things come in threes? Which other Bayista is going to have a job dropped in their lap?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My cellphone just rang... it was Beloved!Ex-Boss, who's going out of town for a 3-day outreach clinic in Ukiah and Eureka, and wanted to check in before he left to see if I'd talked to anyone and how it had gone.

How fortunate was I that day all those years ago when the temp agency called and asked if I knew enough about Macs to help out in his office the following Monday?

The real question is, don't these things come in threes? Which other Bayista is going to have a job dropped in their lap?

Sadly, I can think of multiple candidates for either job-getting or job-bettering. The crap economy can start de-crappitating any minute now, really.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

YAY JZ! I understand about not wanting to count on it until the deal is signed, but in the mean time we can all be excited for you!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

JZ! I'm so so excited for you! May it all come together as soon as possible.
