Argh. Coworker is just pushing every button of mine today. Including the Big Red One that makes me snarl in not nice ways.
She started here just before I did but once I was contracted and then hired, I am technically titled and positioned higher than her.
But she just wants to try and tell me what I have to do and find out exactly what I am doing to report to my boss. Which on good days, I can wave off. Today, it bugs.
I also need my client to call me back with his decision on whether he wants foil on his business cards or just two colors of ink. I need to finish the files TODAY if he wants foil. I am snarling at the clock too.
And fun of fun, we are taking the whole company to lunch today in about twenty minutes. I would rather stay here, hear from my client and get my work done so I can leave early and start my weekend of slothful healing for my back.
And they might just need money to get by--eat, pay student loans, etc.. We've got to figure -t's out of work for the foreseeable future. If her place of employment was destroyed, she might not have any income coming in, even if Henry will/might.
Didn't she recently quit her job?
I'm not saying that makes things easier for them, but if they were already anticipating just one income, then at least this won't be devastating.
Mostly, I'm just hoping for the least-traumatic situation for them, and if they were already adjusted to just one income, then that's one less hurdle for them.
I've met Jess but I've only seen pics of E - still fairly certain that Jess and E babies would be stunning. And SMART! And incredibly fortunate to have such cool parents.
Last night went better than I could have hoped for.
That's great, sweetie! Very glad to hear it.
Interview and job ~ma to vw!
Didn't she recently quit her job?
Yep. She had given her 2 weeks on Friday, I thought.
I forgot to say that Jess and E will make a beautiful baby, and also that being loving parents is much more important than having lots of space for a baby or all the stuff that advertisers try to make us thin is necessary.
So glad to hear from -t this morning. I'm in for whatever we're doing by way of care packages/a shower, so Trudy and Perkins, just keep us all posted.
They were renters, too, right? Which doesn't help with any/all of their belongings, but probably makes things a little easier for them. They don't have to rebuild, at least.

Very true. When they're newborn, you can plop them in a carseat/bouncy and let them sleep in the middle of the living room. They're fairly portable early on. (And, you know, wee!)
Last night went better than I could have hoped for.
See?! So glad it was wonderful.
Interview~ma going out to vw!

Does this mean we get to remind you of this whenever you say that you're not interesting, or stunning, or generally awesome?
Jilli will either be very jealous of me, or she will say that she reviewed the galleys months ago....
Bwah! Jilli is waiting for her personally-signed copy to turn up in the mail.
So Perkins is the point person for the -t carepackage? Cool.
