smonster and Allyson, I got a new temp assignment but it's at the University of Iowa and it pays very well, which will make up for the 45 minute drive, one-way to be there at 7:30 am every day.

Very cool! Best of luck.

msbelle, I'm so glad you found a better work situation where your many talents are appreciated. I hope they spoil you in the fashion you deserve.

Suzi, that aint' right. Tell K-bug I am sore disappointed. (not really)

Holli, yay for your booth! I hope it goes well.

Yay for questers new temp job, and for msbelle liking her job.

Boo for people with no cupcakes.

I picked up TNG from the vet. She's one tooth down and identified as having dental disease, so in addition to not allowing her to chew on hard plastic bones anymore, I have to use some sort of dental rinse on her teeth every evening. Yikes.

OTOH, everyone at the vet loves her. And she seems fine, other than being Really Hungry.

Consuela, bonny recommends a powder you can sprinkle on their food, called Plaque Off (they make a human version and a pet version). [link]

Quester, such good news! Are you allowed to perhaps sit on on the writing classes for free if ya want? Such an outstanding program, there.

Congratulations, quester!

Cash, I hope things work out for the best with your DH. Having a job that caters to his actual, existing skill-set seems like a no-brainer to me.

msbelle, I'm so glad the new job is less toxic than the old. You sound so much lighter and happier when you talk about it.

flea, that's wonderful news for Mr. flea! I hate the government hiring process with the burning white-hot heat of a million fiery suns.

edit: sara and Suzi, I hope you hurt less, soon.

One step at a time, java. But, if it turns into a real job I will definitely be looking for classes.

Whoo, msbelle! The new job makes you sassier! I like that.

Congratulations, quester!

Cash, all kinds of job~ma for the DH.

Actually, much job~ma for everyone who needs it, including Consuela and mr. flea.

Also, cupcakes. For everyone.

YAY Quester

Far fewer uncomfortable conversations in the hotel elevator than TAM.

Plei and I had a conversation about the state of my boobs in the elevator with two random women.

At least one of them didn't think I was uneven enough to worry about it.

I stopped on the way to infusion and bought myself cupcakes. So far I have not eaten any, but that's because I have fresh CSA corn to eat for dinner first.

Also, cupcakes. For everyone.

Unlike what's recently come out of Congress, THIS is a plan I can heartily endorse.
