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

Way to go, Strix! Good to hear.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good work, Strix!

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

That is good news, Strix. Three months!!!

Talked with my boss today for my official performance review. I think I had mentioned here that he had been forced to give us all "performing" no matter each employee's actual performance. So, I was expecting the minimal raise but was pleasantly surprised with 3.8% out of the max 4% that was available. But I also found out that I'm at 77% of the mean for my salary range which will make it hard to justify a grade increase, which I'm hoping to advocate for at the end of the year.

tl;dr - yay, raise.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Strix, anxiety attack notwithstanding, it is good to see your font. I'm celebrating your wellness. Sorry to hear about your dad's condition.

Dear Staph Infection on Consuela's nose:

Please to perish under an onslaught of modern medications. Now. Now would be good.

With all due respect and no love whatsoever, me

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

Oh, Consuela, that is no good.

Way to go, Strix!

Doule ha

This made me laugh.

Well, it is now.

As did this.

I don't think I am parsing most of your post, SuziQ, but yay, raise!

Bev, I meant to say, Nasalcrom has helped me get through many blooming seasons. Not immediate relief, though.

I feel your pain, -t. Remember when my p was a *?

So I got my smoke-up-the-ass political explanation about the job, which basically came down to "everything was up in the air last Wednesday when we spoke so we couldn't say anything, but it all magically became clear by Monday when we wrote the thing posted online on Tuesday." Now I get to wait at least 12 hours and politely resign my candidacy!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It's supposed to get up to 81 tomorrow. While I'm happy to see the end of winter, that just isn't right.
