ita, your job is crazy. It sounds kind of great?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, the property Controller's jaw dropped and then she laughed with me about the gall. She said their first step is to issue a general reminder about being considerate of neighbors so as to avoid singling any one tenant out. I'm not sure that will be effective, as Princess may not make the connection between that and her own obviously in-the-right behavior last night. (Though if she's self-aware enough for it to dawn on her she'll know it was me that complained. And I'm fine with that; I ceased to care about her opinion of me about 45 seconds into our first meeting.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Damn. Etta James died.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It sounds kind of great?
I am kinda lucky right now. Knock wood. The corporate culture is a good one, and the people are kinda really great. I know, I know, I'm the anti-bond-with-coworkers person, but I've been burnt hard. Still, the level of in-office ease and honesty that goes on here is great.
And in the past six or so months I've been able to almost double the number of people I work (well) with, and I have reached a point where all parties will call me to confide and get them on their side in a discussion, and it's no more uncomfortable than being an informed mediator.
Which reminds me, I have someone else's mind to change. New person. This should be interesting. I do love the process of gaining a new person's respect. Let's hope it works this time.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Those shoes are... uh... bright.
I was at work at 8 am this morning, AFTER dropping one child off at the bus stop. I'm hoping cup of coffee #2 kicks in soon so I can get back to work.

Damn. Etta James died.
Oh no!

I gave up on trying to work with this sinus infection at about 4 yesterday. Good call: my ears are now blocked up, but spending the morning in bed with a Patricia McKillip novel has at least avoided the worst of the gunk. It's all backed up in my head, but at least I'm not blowing my nose every thirty seconds.
Lee, I'm so impressed with your moving!fu! I wish I could have helped, but between the dogs and my folks and all, I've felt a bit overwhelmed the last few weeks.
Those Asics are bright. Wow.

Yes yes, congrats on the move, Lee!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hope your new house is as wonderful as you are, Lee!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Yay, Lee! Good luck with the move.
Scrappy, lots of luck at the pound.
I want ita !'s workplace. (God, that looks so awkward.)
I have already erased those shoes from my brain. They were *horrible*.
Matt, you were more polite than I would have been.
