Awesome, meara! Well-deserved recognition.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Congrats, meara! Always nice to get acknowledgment that you've been doing the job already

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Woohoo I got a promotion!!
Right the fuck on! Well done.
Happy birthday, Dana!
On the downside my wasp-stung foot still hurts a little.
On the plus side, Scola arrives today.
So we will probably be seeing The Phoenician Scheme tomorrow.

Wish me luck, cable and television upgrades in my future. and we'll have wifi, which I don't have to hold back since my brother doesn't have his side business to move here, which was my first "Absolutely not!" in about twenty years. For all those posts from the bathroom I can't even make, but whatever.(Not telling the state we haz...I'd rather they squirm, too. ) might be exciting one day, but kind of a stressy thought atm.(I just have no instinct for these things, like, ever--leads to kind of a phobic response.) also, kind of tired of other people deciding what they can accept on my behalf. But at least my attendants are gonna help me out with it.(Don't really like the subconscious feeling that they think all I get from life is sitting around watching stuff, but he's antivax, so why does his judgment matter again?!)

Happy birthday, Dana. Happy Scola day, San Francisco. Good news on the promotion, Meara. Yesterday's calls were so quiet it was like doing nothing.Except for the dialling and that it took longer-- I'm so not going to feature in the movement biopic.)

Yay for Wi-Fi, promotions, and Scola visits!
I am having a frustrating day of contract work, but I am transitioning out of this project starting this month, so that's a relief. If I never have to do QuickBooks again, that'll be just fine by me.
DH starts work on Monday, yay.

Boo on the sting! Yay on Scola and Wes Anderson!
Coincidentally (or is it?) my dad got stung by a yellowjacket a couple of weeks ago. It's the season for itm, maybe? Although he was outside disturbing them, not in the presumed safety of his own bathroom

I am doing a lot of copying stuff out of excel/our ERP and pasting it into slides because that's how we run meetings now. Kind of feels like building dioramas but with a less interesting outcome
