After a crap professional day, opened the random package that appeared in the mail. "A Singularly Unfeminine Profession: One Woman's Journey in Physics" by Mary Gaillard, an autobio. Pretty sure dad is the sender. Aw, dad.
Zoe: Next time we smuggle stock, let's make it something smaller. Wash: Yeah, we should start dealing in those black-market beagles.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
IDK, Zen, "my adulthood is a long con" has a ring to it. But who is the mark? And what is the score?
The mark is everyone who expects me to behave like a responsible adult. The score is a salaried job with all its benefits and also being treated like an adult instead of a flaky loser.
I'm still stung by the memory of the woman who didn't hire me for a job I was totally qualified for (and desperately needed), because my "interesting" job history meant she had to beware of "the flake factor".

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sweet, sarameg.
I'm gonna think that some more, Zen. I feel like there's an epiphany for me somewhere in there.

I haven't traveled in a little while, and now I'm trying to remember how to do it again. Transportation to the airport! Perhaps I should go to the ATM for cash monies because I am going to a con. Ah, yes. A suitcase. Things go in there!

It's been like an entire month!

Almost two entire months! I have not yet been on an aeroplane this year!

Wha?!! But you're like Aquaman, you need to dip your toe into the TSA line regularly or you'll shrivel up and lose your awesome powers.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
My goodness, the good news I alluded to yesterday has not yet dropped. Well, fingers still crossed.

Our wings are not tired.
Laura, how are things?
Overwhelmingly busy. I pop in and scroll through nodding and sending ~ma, and then back to work. This is probably for the best since it is something I have some control over, unlike my son. Sigh.
