young tattooed hipster librarians

Which reminds me of the first time I met Nutty in person, she was dressed kind of grunge/punk, not exactly what I was expecting for a children's librarian (which is what she was at the time).

Me, if I keep buying ridiculous shoes, I'll be woefully out of place for my job, where ties are a rarity for the men and basically every day is casual Friday.

Huh. So this time Annalee is asking first. What an *exciting* Supernatural episode to recap for IO9...

There's going to be cake tomorrow for someone's birthday, I got a Google calendar invitation for it. I wanted to report that I am making a point to accept the invitation so that the organizer will know who is coming since I've read so many complaints about people not responding to meeting invitations from y'all. Also because cake, of course.

Hey Hec, JZ, you should send that picture of Lil Ozma to NPR!

Done!

Good news: after googling "how to deal with a control-freak boss" last night and forcing myself not to obsess over it, this morning started off on a great note (we got a *huge* grant from the Historic Trust for a Master Plan) and nothing came of anything from yesterday. I'm taking my win and slinking away. The great thing about the grant is that is was one that she wrote, so I got to stroke her ego and call her awesome and a rockstar and she preened happily, and well-deservedly.

Talking with another coworker today, the running theory is that she barely got to see her husband over the weekend, and he lives in another state, so weekends are all they have. I feel bad, I just wish she didn't react this way.

Timelies all!

Woke up this morning and there was ice/snow on my car. :side-eyes March:

My conference call at 3 got a lot better when someone walked up and handed me a beer. March Madness floor-wide happy hour.

Brenda, yes, it's good.

Interview went very well. Downside of job is working in a cubicle instead of an office, have to do payroll. Upside is really nice HR staff as coworkers and more money than I was making.

I also have two interviews with Sony coming up.

and more money

So you can buy tickets to fly up to San Francisco and visit us!

Sounds like it went very well indeed, Scrappy. Not that I'm surprised. Who wouldn't want to hire you?

So speaking of nail polish, I went and got my nails done for the first time in FOREVER. Why don't I do that more often? Now they are all pretty: FTR Zoya Caitlin on my fingers (brought my own) and a pretty OPI teal on my toes. And now justifying the sitter by snagging tea, chocolate, and free wifi at a local bakery. I like spring break.
