I'm trying to figure out which of two buildings is Army Building #621. Harder than you'd think...

In better news, I got my federal tax refund. Do I splurge it on a new (refurbished) MacBook? Or be more conservative and save it for landscaping so I can sell my house? Sigh.

How old is your old Mac Book?

I am off today, attempting to apply for jobs that I feel ambivalent about and therefore am doing a half-assed job with my applications. I feel underqualified for one, overqualified for the other, and unlikely to get either. Meh.

OTOH, either job would be so much better than my current one. Need a new job so badly.

can you buy a laptop after you sell your house?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

When I get my federal refund, it's going to 4 things: paying off last month's car repairs, staining the new fence, a trip to Vegas, and a dog.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I like that list, Lee.

I don't like ita's list.

Can you divide it up, Consuela, half splurge and half conservative?

If anyone's still interested in the Pope, his name, and being a Jesuit, here's a quick piece by Colbert Nation chaplain Jim Martin.

Awesome, I thought I'd have to wait another week before I got the official Colbert Nation reaction to the new pope (not that I have read that piece yet, but I assume it will fill that hole for me)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I envy people with tax refunds.

Okay, applying for a job via email...

The text of the email is my cover letter? Do I also attached a copy of the cover letter? Or do I not use the text of the email as my cover letter, and essentially write a cover letter to the cover letter?

So, so confused.
