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

Our wings are not tired.
Thanks, guys. Meara was here with me last night and it was super helpful to unload and vent to her. I appreciate the support.
I don't think it will be too hard to find another position, thank goodness, but y'all know how much I loved my company up until about Spring of last year. And I am SUPER invested in it financially and it's a mofo bummer to face walking away from all that. I am financially incented to stay through March, then through August, etc.

Zebra shark reproduces via parthenogenesis 4 years in a row. (How do you make parthenogenesis an adverb?)

It's all very stressful and heartbreaking
Oh, no, javachik, that's awful. I hadn't realized.
As for me, I had a meeting with a health care company to talk about providing more assistance to my parents this morning. That was fun. It's going to be such a battle to get my mother to accept more support, and it's mostly going to fall on me.
ION, the hiring manager here has apparently admitted that there's almost no chance of getting through the hiring process before the current contract I'm working under runs out. And because they assumed last year that they would certainly get through the hiring process in a year, there is no provision in the contract for an extension.
They have to put out another whole RFP and go through the contracting process again, to keep me on board. t facepalm
I've gone past frustration, annoyance, and infuriation into apathy. I can barely react anymore.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Condolences to your friend, ita.
That sucks, java, but heh on the polar bear.
That's a hard convo, Suela. I feel like we're around the corner from that for my folks, but they're so resistant. I don't blame them, but I wish I were able to be there.
Also, seriously? Seriously! re: your perpetual contract hell.
We're doing the limbo thing too, re: SO's dad's health. We heard (via my niece's fb page, wtf?) that he was in the hospital Monday night for high blood pressure they can't get down. We didn't hear until Tuesday, right after we got home. I couldn't get hold of anyone, and we were panicky about needing to turn the car around and go back. Finally heard, but with no real update, although the SO did get to talk to him. So we have a waiting game.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Consuela, that's such a bummer. Pardon me for saying so, but I think it's time to cut bait and start looking for a new job. These guys are treating you like crap, and it pisses me off. At the same time, I do realize that it's a daunting idea, looking for a job right now. Ugh. So sorry.
