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.

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.

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.

"Bring me human eggs, the necessary social consensus and legal permission and I can get you your replica within a year," said Park Se-Pill, a senior researcher of Maria Biotech and a top cloning expert.

Huh.

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!

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...

When do you leave, vw?

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]

Next Friday.
