I am at the airport...on my way to Dallas, which feels pretty darn ordinary to me...but then I'll get on a flight to Santiago!! Eeeeeee! Managed to just barely fit everything in my backpack and my purse (at least, until I bought a bottle of water). Fingers crossed I don't have to check it at any point.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Gud, everyone has already spoken so eloquently, I will just add my support. Sending you strength.
And Steph, you were so eloquent you made me tear up a bit.

Today's food truck is a baked potato truck. What brave new world, to have such wonders in it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Obviously Nashville has lost all phone and internet services, so we're just never going to hear whether or not husband got this job.
Here's the thing: It turns out they need three higher-ups to approve an offer, and two of them are traveling and one is in meetings all day. Or is that just my job?
Bon voyage, meara!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, no, I'm sure. Or HR is holding it up. Or they can't get in touch with a reference. Or someone's out sick.
If they hadn't said they'd get back to him by Friday, I probably would not be quite this tense.

All of the above! Which is why I try not to give people a timeline ever, because god only knows what's actually possible.

Or someone got pissy and said "I wasn't consulted on this!"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wheee, meara!
Woes, Dana. I wish they'd let you know there's a hold up, at least! If they said you'd hear by Friday, someone should have at least sent out an apologetic "maybe next week" email or phone call or something.
I got my lunch, hooray! They had a salad on the menu that was basically the burger I wanted on lettuce instead of on a bun + dressing, so I got that. And a milkshake. And when I got there they had a wee sign up saying they temporarily have sweet potato fries so now I want to go back later this week and get those...

Election time in my neighborhood. People were putting up signs for the current state rep at what turned out to be the building of a guy opposing her. Who came out and demanded they stop.
A scuffle ensues and state rep candidate ends up stapled in the forehead from someone's staple gun.
