Aaaand done. One is nbd, I've worked with her the whole time. New deputy engineer? We've had 3 years of intense interaction before her promotion and I loved her, but we don't have the personal so much.

And my mom just had a big meltdown cry on the phone with dad and I want to call her but she's asked we don't and I get that, but uhg.

And deputy chief engineer just replied with an "ABSOLUTELY!"

This is why I fight for this job despite CSRA/CSC fucking me over.

(I know the other is asleep now.)

I think I might cry in gratitude.

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

That seems like a right response.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The CIA has a job opening for a librarian. [link]

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I'm sorry, Dana. And I hate phone rejections. You're so put on the spot to be polite and mature and understanding so you don't burn any bridges, and I feel like when you don't get a job you were really hoping for, you deserve the space to have your first reaction be weeping or cursing or slamming doors.

No phone call back from the breast imaging center, huzzah! I'm not officially in the clear till I get the letter with the results...but no news has always been good news, so I'm going to assume the best.

I wouldn't mind keeping DST all year, but I wouldn't want to keep standard time. I treasure my long summer evenings too much, and I swear it'd start getting light in Seattle at like 3:30 AM around the summer solstice if it wasn't for DST.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Done with work. Not that I worked OT today. I put in 3 hours, went to get CJ's suit and shop for a few remaining things, worked 3 more hours, went to get a haircut and pick up prescriptions, worked for 3.5 more hours - crap, I guess I did work more than 8. Not that I'll get paid OT this week, but I can sleep in tomorrow instead.

When do we spring forward? I should look that up.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Saw the first Bernie add today. The only other I've seen is a very confusing one for Rubio, who, it assures me, "Stood up to the Republican establishment--and WON!". Huh?

I assume it's referring to when he won the nomination for the Senate seat in 2010 over Charlie Crist.

Because books.

We spring forward on Saturday night.
