Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

That which does not kill you should RUN

McCain came out against the health care bill? Thank god.

This probably means the bill is dead, but I won't breathe a sigh of relief until that shitbag McConnell announces there won't be a vote on it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, I have to share something ridiculous that just happened: I was in my office in a meeting, when Fancy Colleague called and left a voicemail and then called again. But, you know, none of our work is really urgent, so I figured I'd call back after my other meeting. In the meantime, his assistant has also emailed to follow up.

Turns out, what they needed was two tiny things added to a document I had sent them. And why didn't they do it themselves? It was "Read Only."

Haha. Ha. Ha.

I have to tell the assistant, right? She should know better.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

-t, it's unfortunate you have to deal with this, but it sounds like there could be some positivity from the move. I hope so. And I'm sorry you have to leave your coworkers, where you've become somewhat comfortable.

Change is just hard.

Punishingly Intricate

Ugh, -t, I'm sorry you're dealing with that

Jeez, -t, that sucks.

So the area in PR my family rented a house over Xmas in the late 90s is under emergency evacuation orders because a dam is in imminent danger of failing ( near Isabela.) I'd been google map viewing it today because I wondered how it was faring. Now I know. Uhg.

Because bus cranky for today, I called a white dude out for being an entitled asshole in the pool. He slunk off, but he probably wrote me off as a crazy bitch. I swear to god, if there's 2 or more white guys in the lap lanes, one is bound to piss me off demonstrating entitlement.

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

And why didn't they do it themselves? It was "Read Only."

Oy and vey.

-t, work stress is stressful. Added commute time would be a dealbreaker for me. But I've never had a rough commute with any of my job/living locations, so there is that. Today I had to drive 30 minutes to the office and it really wasn't that bad. I think it is more the idea of it. Again, my take for me. I think if I had a decent public transportation option, I'd take advantage of the time and read or finally listen to a podcast or 10.

I hope they are open to the title adjustment, giving up pay and off hours time should have some benefit beyond "you still have a job so live with it".

I think we could slowly but surely take over the whole place.

I need to plan an exploratory visit before a subscribe to your newsletter.

He slunk off, but he probably wrote me off as a crazy bitch.

Oh well. As long as he crawls back into his entitled hole and stays there, whatever.

Epic, I'm so sorry. So many hugs.

Loki is clawing at my face, trying to steal bites of this spinach and feta croissant. And here come Pumpkin.
