Amazon! How did that not occur to me?!? I live in Seattle! Awesome. I am totally ordering some of those, and it will make me feel ever-after guilty about going out to get coffee instead of making it at home (currently, I'm often like "Well, I don't have CREAM, so I HAVE to go out...")
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

msbelle,
how disappointing. perhaps you knew this was coming, but that's awful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Pretty sure that is a sign that I need to find another job and quickly.
Yeah, that sounds about right. Good luck!

First of all, holy shit, Consuela, I'm glad your sister is okay. Secondly, much job-ma msbelle.
Next and totally unrelated. I recently have seen part of Aliens in a video loop for work-related reasons. I've never really noticed it before but the little girl who played Newt really does a very impressive job of playing that role. This is what happens you seen a fairly small loop over and over.

I love Newt so much. I thought she was really fabulous.
In other news, I had my tax visit to H&R Block yesterday. Generally speaking - I was unimpressed. Essentially what the preparer did was enter data into a software program. Which is something I could have done myself. Further, I had to provide all the calculations myself and I think he forgot to ask me some things (e.g. work travel).
I feel like I spent several hours getting my records together, only to spend 2 hours with him repeating my information.
Because of the HSA and some tax confusion around that, I have to have another appointment next week to complete the process.
There were a couple of things he knew that I didn't, but I kind of feel like he should have just asked me to fill out a customized spreadsheet that I hand over to him and spend 30-45 minutes answering questions about crap that I didn't now or he needed more information about.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Le N, that's exactly why DH & I started doing our own taxes online.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Edie Shoma Mobarak, Suzi! That's a marvelous tradition!
I had a VOIP conference this morning too. VOIP works fine...except when it's dropping sound and everything's garbled. No idea why that happens.

Alas, I am not wearing new clothes, visiting friends, nor cooking Persian today. K-Bug and bf are here, so I have some family covered. There is a whole hierarchy of who visits who in what order. The younger generation visits the older generation first, unless there has been a family with a death, then they are visited first. The visits extend for 13 days after No Rouz. So lots of visiting.
