I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

When I left grad school, I could have signed up for COBRA retroactively. I, being me, just signed up.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think I can do it retroactively, and unless something major/sudden comes up, I won't need to go to any doctors, since I did all that before I left PHJW. I'm just worried about really major happens and I can't send it in.

Customized mac and cheese. Nummy.

I was away when Emmett was injured, and felt silly chiming in with sympathies so late (although I was doing sympathy 'oohhs' here, just not so very audible). But I'm dying of curiosity. How does one get a cast attached to one's nose? Is it actually plaster, or is it more like bandages? Are the other kids impressed? Do they sign nose casts, or just arms and legs? Are nose ones colored, like most other ones now, or white? I'm so tickled that you're saving the cast. Some in my family think that type of thing is gross, but I think that they're really missing out.

What is even happening?

Oh flea, your daughter is so beautiful! She should have that fainting couch, too.

Perkins, take the COBRA. It's a big expense, but not nearly as big as even minor medical things that require a day or two in the hospital.

Work question. If you asked Web Services to do something fairly simple last July, impressing on them it needed to be done by August 15, and last week discovered it had never been done, and the person who was supposed to do it insisted he never saw the email even though it is in your out box addressed to him, and says he cannot get to it until May, who would you kill, him, or yourself for not noticing it had never been done in the first place? Or both?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Flea, him.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Death for him, because he's supposed to do the job without somebody nannying him, but also some lashes with a wet noodle for you for not following up.

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

Death for him, certainly. perhaps a smack to teh forehead with an open palm for you, if you feel the need.

I can't believe how grown up Casper is, she's so cute! I think I need a fainting couch, and a parlor to keep it in, and a toddler to recline upon it fetchingly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

flea, clearly kill the other guy.

I have a resume question: Should I put my little part-time jobs at the top of my resume, or leave my last full-time job there? I can't decide if it looks worse if I haven't worked since July, or if I'm a part-time assistant.

I'd put the part time jobs in, especially if they're related to what you want to do. The fact that you've taken on part time work also shows that you've got a decent work ethic, IMO.
