Hey, you new parent peeps ever get to this site? Because she's pretty funny. (And this link reminded me of Susan and her worries over her daughter's development.) [link]
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Spike's Bitches 25 to Life
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Plei, I didn't. Dang. Considering how badly my e-mail filters spam, you'd think I'd have gotten it and the three penis enlargement e-mails.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Man, I'm bored and HUNGRY. There's a catering tasting going on in the office today. SMELLS SO GOOD.
I had planned on going into Davis to run some errands at lunch and have some Indian buffet, but I think I will have to put that off till tomorrow.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Nora, I freak occassionaly too. but I spoke with my dad before we bought - and he sid he never lost money on a house. The only time you are really in danger of that is if you are in the kind of job where you move every two years. - like IBM used to be ( they may still be that way) . The burst in the houseing market in the 80's hurt a lot of people in those kinds of jobs - but if I remember correctly, it was only for a year or two.

JZ was delivered to the airport on time, and is in the air right now winging her way to Somerville.
I'm taking the day off from work.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Huh.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Administrative stuff, but with a shiny office right in the middle of downtown Portland and a whole hour for lunch and a parking pass.
Ooh, that sounds like a pretty good set of bennies right there. Have you got the full health/vacation/etc. as well. And congrats - I think getting out of the soul-sucking job is worth the pay cut.
Nora, what everyone else said. I think it mostly sucks to buy right now if you're doing so to turn a profit, or if you're living beyond your means, not if it's for an on-going living situation. Also, looking forward to Sunday!

Mostly lurking...
Considering I'm leaving, people are acting very strange...like I'm not. I asked my boss if she wanted me to go over something with her today, and she acted like, "Why?"
So weird...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When do you leave, vw?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm about to attempt to register for classes. My tummy is a little upset just thinking about it.
Yes, it is. How hot was it there? I hope you had gelato every chance you got.
I am now bejobbed!
Yay, Lilty!!! Go you and your escape for Retail Hell!
I'm taking a huge pay cut, but I try to keep telling myself that if my job makes me physically ill, it's worth it.
This sounds worth it.
I only wish I was quitting in time to meet JZ and hang with the Somervillains! pout.
I think you should call out sick that day. What are they going to do, fire you?
Plus, we just moved in so we still get a pass for messiness. Whee!
You totally get a pass, Nora. I know I don't really care about the mess, just about seeing the Somervillians and meeting JZ. Is there anything you want me to bring? [unlike vw, I don't bake]
