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

Bye, bye, Borders.
Damn.
Maybe a few indie bookstores could sprout up in their absence.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It occurred to me, as the tile guy left today, that there's several people still working on my house, who still have my garage code and key, and who know my husband is out of town.
I'm not actually worried, but after Zenkitty's experience, I'm a little twitchy.

The status is NOT quo.
I have lost my only credit card while traveling. Seriously? so annoyed with myself, and can't rent a car until I find it again. May have to have our housesitter overnight me one of my others.

Pix, can't you call your credit card company and have them cancel the old card and then overnight you the replacement?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Frustrating, Pix. I have had serious credit card while traveling issues myself, but mostly springing from the fact that I don't generally use it. But traveling is when I need it!
Dana, yeah, I felt that way during the build. But once they're done, you can recode the garage at least. And twitchy is okay; twitchy keeps you on your guard. But it'll probably be fine.
I swear by Diamont now, thanks to Plei. But for speeding up even past that, I use Zoya's hurry up drops. They're called something else now, I think, but I like them a lot. I am super hard on my nails, but that combo lets me get going in a reasonable amount of time.

Found it!!! It had fallen out inside my mom's car on the passenger side. So relieved. Plus, bonus dinner with my mom. My train is now 90 minutes away.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Bye, bye, Borders.
Alas. I loved Borders. And I have friends who will soon be out of a job, I guess.
Found it!!!
Whew!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Dilemna: we're going to be interviewing for my new "boss", I get to do a private walk-and-talk with her. The position has been dropped down from director to manager (to save money and so the ED can exert more control). After the fiasco with my last new boss, I want to sit this woman down, look her in the eye, and lay it out, and ask "Can you handle it? Because I can't fucking handle you cutting and running and leaving the bag in my hands five months into your run". I want this person coming on board with eyes wide open, but, lord knows what ED will feed them, and if I'll be shooting myself in the foot. And maybe the "manager" title says it all? I was so afraid to be honest with the last woman, and she took my dissatisfaction and made my whining look elegant in comparison.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG cat, why do you think it's a good idea to sit on my lap?? Aren't you hot?? I am not the one covered in fur here!
Juliebird, you won't have any control over who they actually hire, right? I wouldn't try to talk anyone out of the job unless you really dislike them and want them to turn the job down, and even then, be very very careful, because everything gets back and can reflect badly on you.
