Gotta go find a red crayon and make valentine cards for my kids now.

You? Best dad ever (and that's with some stiff competition).

That definitely beats the "nuns saying a novena" card! I haven't checked my mail, dunno if Dad sent one this year...though there might be more provocation to do so, this year, than ever...

I even tried to calculate if you were coming out ahead with the 8k additional salary and the increased commjute, but I decided I didn't have enough data. But I was totally thinking about you, just not typing. Anyway, congratulations, esp. pon the using your brain part.

I calculate about $2k/year of that will spent be gas and maintainence on the vehicle. Maybe $2.5k

But hey, I hear they will give overtime freely, and possible bonuses three times a year.

Not even going to talk about divorce. I've seen 4 (5?) pretty much unfun any way you slice it. I sat my parents down the last time they discussed it and 'splained "You're both 50-something, no one is going to like you any better than he does."

I have the hiccups, and I need to make a pie. Also, I made the most horrid mistake ever, job wise..I'm beating myself with a studded board right now (not literally).

My money is on alien baby in GI tract. Only *one* doctor out of the 4 that saw him today thought that was funny.

Ah, now see, my best friend the ER doc would have really appreciated that one. Look what her pregnant self did this Halloween:

Anyway, Tep, I'm glad it's looking like nothing super serious for your dad but sorry you (and he) are having to deal with more medical crap.

I have the hiccups, and I need to make a pie.

I always heard swallowing a little sugar cured hiccups. I'll have to try making a pie next time.

I made the most horrid mistake ever, job wise

Most horrid mistakes ever really suck. Hope things are easily fixed.

Does *anyone* out there watch Related? I really enjoy this show and I want a Bob of my very own. But he should look like Marco.

Did someone say pie? Yum.

I hope the work mistake is not as bad as you think it is. I know I've beaten myself with the studded board once or twice only to find out that I was the only one who really cared about the mistake. I hope it turns out that way for you, too.

sj, I'm glad you're feeling like you can get some sleep.

KB, you're FUNNY. Maybe we should send you to keep Teppy company while she deals with those dull-witted doctors.

I didn't watch Related tonight, but I usually do. I think Margie and I are soulmates.

Job related fuckup...It's not a fixing thing, my job is fine. I'm just a slacker who could have done better, I was told I could do better, but I sat back and now the temp, hired after me*, has my job.

• It should be said, I like the girl a lot. I think she will do a very good job, and I'm actually happy that if anyone has to be my boss, it's her.

Did someone say pie? Yum.

I'm making Mr. Jane Almond Cherry Cream Pie for V-Day. He has to work until 3 am. He gets treats. Sucks for both of us, but at least I get to be home by 8.
