Happy Birthday, Gud. Sorry for the troubles.

If I only had a brain...
That's a passive-aggressive thing to do, Gud. I'm sorry, and I hope next year's birthday will be very happy indeed.

What is even happening?
I'm so sorry, Gud. I hope that's the last of last year's hard times, working its way out.

Happier Birthday, Gud.
So, is it a bad sign when your wife doesn't get you anything for your birthday, not even a card?
It's not a good sign.
Trudy, I'm so sorry for the work suckitude. I hope the transition Other Sub-Firm goes seamlessly.

Lilty, insent with comments.
ION, there's a job I'm applying for that has a stated 12 month duration. In my cover letter, I was thinking of saying something like: "As I am currently embarking upon a career change that may take several years to achieve, I was pleased to see an education-related job opening that was for a limited amount of time."
Thoughts.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Hey Cash - that "excessive activity" blah blah blah in the savings account? Yeah, federal law. If it's not done "in person" - meaning at the ATM or in person at the bank, anything over 6 transactions gets charged.
signed, has been through this before and didn't get one red cent back because Federal Law hasn't caught up with the effing internets.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think yuo want to be careful, Anne, in case they had to put down a duration and said 12 months but really have an open-ended position. Maybe something like
"As I am currently embarking upon a career change that may take several years to achieve, I am open to non-permanent positions."

Gud, it could be the sign of massive pending surprise party hijinks!
Or not. Given that this is not TV-and-movie-world, most likely not. But if it were, there would be an embarrassing misunderstanding, and someone would probably show up at the party with a male stripper and three pounds of powdered sugar.
In any case, I'm very sorry. Um, and happy birthday?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Anne, what -t said. It's good to let them know you are willing to take a finite position, but they don't need to know that you are seeking one. And thanks again for the help!
Annnd, mine's sent. Now it's time to play the waiting game.
The waiting game sucks! Let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos!
