Happy Birthday, Empress!

Susan, did you happen to see my thought upthread that you may not be getting nibbles because of summer/vacation/July/August issues?

I did. It's certainly possible that some of the jobs I've been assuming I'll be rejected for just because I haven't heard anything yet are in summer slow motion because they haven't been able to get all the relevant people in the room at the same time to discuss the resumes. And I hope there will be more listings once Labor Day is past and offices fill up again.

Happy Birthday, Empress!

Especially at a university, I'd think August is pretty much a no-go.

I got a 30-minute nap while the kitling did, and it was w o n d e r f u l! And got rid of my headache for a bit, although now I may be starting to get the auras that precede a migraine.

I know you are all riveted.

But here's a bitchly question: I've been informed that if anyone finds out I haven't bought dress shoes in 10 years I'll have to turn in my XX-chromosome card. So I'm shoe-shopping. Are Fluevogs comfortable? What about the character shoes or dance shoes discussed upthread?

I have a follow up character shoe question -- how durable are the soles? I was thinking that if they have to hold up for dance, they should be durable, but I don't know how that'd translate into everyday wear.

I don't think that character shoe soles would hold up too well for everyday wear -- they'd be fine if you just wore them on wood floors, but I'd bet that walking on pavement would wear them down pretty quickly.

Are Fluevogs comfortable?

YES! Not as much as aersoles as their uppers, or at least the handful of pairs I have tried on, are stiffer. But still comfy. Even every day comfy.

well, the HVAC guy came and looked at our AC unit. We were hoping that it would be a simple fix, but it was and it wasn't. Simple: the system needed more refrigerant/coolant, and he refilled it. Not so simple: the setup of the pump/drain system is not to the HVAC guy's liking, and that could be the root of the porblem, and not the coolant issue so much.

I guess we shall see how the refill treats the system (if the cooling improves/the leaking stops), and then maybe get our plumber in to put in a better pump in the fall, and the HVAC guy to come in afterward to inspect.

Sigh. Such a little house, yet so much can go wrong on any given day.

Bah. The ones I got from Zappo's are both comfortable and pretty. I want a pair of medium heeled mary janes. Is that so much to ask?

I've never found the right Fluevog. Or none right enough to justify the cost. Aerosoles, OTOH, are verging on the way-too-easy side now.
