cereal: The reason why I don't hate calling Texas or Florida(say) nearly as much as the hometown crowd? If I catch them, and they are on our list? They're lonely and really want to talk. (Which is the opposite problem as with the Arizonans, which can be a pain when in a hurry, but a mitzvah feels a lot better than a "shameful waste of time instituted because my boss has swapped the Personal Touch in place of a long-ago other addiction")
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

It's Dana's birthday! I hope you have a delightful day. May the year be filled with relaxation and calm after the tumultuous first half! Speaking of which, are you all settled into your new home? Meet any neighbors?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Happy birthday Dana!
Woohoo I got a promotion!! It’s just a title change, my job doesn’t actually change, but it was overdue and I was getting salty about it, but I’d heard that due to the economy they might not be doing promotions this year. So I applied for a few jobs earlier this week…and lo and behold suddenly my boss tells me! Yay. It’s a 4% raise but mostly I was mad about the title rather than the $$ (though more $$ is never bad!)
