Unfortunately, one of my reactions when under constant stress like this is to retreat into inaction. Not helpful in the least.
This is me too.
Waiting to go to Salem and buy a house...
Happy birthday Epic and tiggy!

Happy Birthday wishes to tiggy and EpicT! I hope you both have a wonderful day!
sj, glad to hear that your dinner party was a success! Wish I could've been there. The menu sounded delicious and same for the guest list.
Timelies!

I wish you could have been here too, Nicole, but I usually do wish you could be here.

Me too, but I have to go find it. I can't just sit back and wait for it to find me, as nice as that would be.
Now, to make a manageable to-do list for the day. Two things on there include going to the library to look things up in the Occupational Outlook Handbook (ideas, plus salary ranges), and sitting down and giving my resume a thorough going-over.
vw, received.

Happy Birthday, EpicTangent!
Happy Birthday, tiggy!
(I put you in alphabetical order, to be fair.)
There is NO way I could skip a day washing my hair. You people who *do* skip -- don't you sweat?!? If I were vaguely clean and hadn't been all sweaty the day before (from exercising/general summer weather), I could maybe not wash my hair, if I knew I wasn't leaving the house and wasn't going to see people.
But if I skip even one day, about halfway through that first day of not-washing, my hair does that thing that Rio mentioned hers does after FOUR days -- I can just sort of pull it wherever I want it and it stays.
And -- not washing my hair makes me feel soooooooooo nasty.

So, the sun is out, and I opened one eye and decided I needed an hour of beach time. I put on my favorite little red bikini and YAYS it still fits. But, when I go to clasp the back Oh NOES the little plastic dude snaps!! I move to bikini #2 and the fabric isn't elastic enough, and this one has gotten too big. Bikini #3- fits alright, but it's a strapless with a detatchable halter and that part is missing. It will do for today, but makes swimming tricky.
My point being:
I have to go...b..bb..bathing suit shopping... keens

Anne, sometimes this works. Or, at least, it has for me and my last two jobs. Still, much job~ma to you!
How's the house? Any surprises so far?
Whether it's here or there, sj, both of us just need to be in the same spot as the other. Of course, not the same EXACT spot. That would be awkward.
