The english muffins I bought on Friday to keep in my office have gone moldy already! So I guess that piece of toast with peanut butter I ate at 7:30 was all the breakfast I'm getting.

I also left Aeryn with the babysitter this morning even though she had an elevated temperature (it's not a fever until it hits 100.4!). God I hope it's just teething. I can't handle a sick kid right now.

Yeah. To be fair, she's good in a pinch and works late herself, but tends to fret and nanny other people for stuff while dragging things out on her own responsibilities. And I do not report to her; we're at the same level on the org chart and she's the full time employee with least seniority in this office.

Of course, I wasn't having any of it last week, knowing that I could get the work done in normal business hours. She stopped by Wednesday to tell me it was OK if some stuff wasn't finished til the next day, and I barely held back from saying aloud "I wasn't asking for permission to clock out for the day, I was telling you that I'm doing so."

OMG!!

Um, the written job offer is in. and um. It's for $15K more than my minimum, which JESUSITA! can you say debt free living in 6 months.

Amazing news msbelle!!

Yay! Awesome news, msbelle!

That is AWESOME, msbelle!

Nice!

Whoo, msbelle! Congratulations!

msbelle, that's totally awesome!

ION, they're sending us home at 2 pm today: turns out there's an Occupy protest and march targeting my organization. Which, I gotta say? Is not really a logical target, given that our role in the issue they're protesting is really tangential (it's got to do with the longshoremen's union up in WA state).

I don't mind going home early: maybe I can go to Trader Joe's!

Woo hoo, msbelle!
