Teppy, I am most amazed and awed by your powers of conjuring up such a nice umfriend. Too bad you can't extend those powers to, say, cause all the buffistas to win a sizable lottery jackpot.
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The Insomnia Fairy just fled the scene.
I have that weirdest of feelings when, after being completely unable to sleep for what feels like forever and is actually all night, I suddenly - overwhelmingly - couldn't keep my eyes open even if I wanted to try. Currently at 6, but always just as the first hints of light appear.
I don't have anything I need to do for the next few hours so I am heading to dream now.

Good luck, Cass! I hope you get some sleep.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
How was the second day at work, Daniel? Better, I hope.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
i am also cold and it's easier to light brazilian candles than it is to light the pilot light on the heater
So THAT'S where they get the wax!
Ooh, that's a great ep! It has the beaver hole!
Aaaaaand the fascination for "nature" shows suddenly becomes clear.
Mornin' Bitches!
I kept waking up and then thinking, "No, its Saturday, I don't have to wake up now" and then going back to sleep. It was wonderful. My office has been great to me, but getting up every single day has been so hard and todayI didn't have to.

How was the second day at work, Daniel? Better, I hope.
Yeah, much better. Still a bit daunting with the disorginization and other factors.
I woke up the second day with horrible horrible leg cramps in both legs. I'm amazed I even got to work on time.
Hey! it's 1 above zero! Time to think about heading out to the bank.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
It's 9 degrees here today. "Feels like -5!" the weather channel tells me.
Bleargh. Cold BAD>
Date fun. Left my car by the bar, as my date wasn't drinking, and I was. The bar is, in theory, close enough so that I could stroll for about 25 minutes and go get it myself. IF it were, say, spring or summer.
But it's fucking cold, and my friend is going to drop me off when she runs an errand later.
I have a friend's bday party to go to tonight. Roller skating and karaoke.
Hmmm.

Daniel, I really really hope this works out -- job hunting has been so horrible and then the mess last time, UGH!
With my now job, which I now love, I cried when they offered me the position because I was sure I'd hate it there (and I felt I was down to no options). I cried almost every night for the first week because the work was tedious yet intricate and I was sure I'd never understand it and hate it even if I did.
Now I find the work IS tedious yet intricate and I still need to ask a billion questions but a) everyone knows that and there is a deffinate "all in the same boat" camaraderie and b) they treat their staff with respect and don't obsess about stupid shit.
The firm has a high turnover because of the tedium, but the camaraderie is amazing. Last night was a good-bye for a guy moving on. A former employee (who left to go to law school) came by to say good-bye to him. One of the ATTORNEYS came to the party (most firms support staff and attorneys don't hang). As I left work the head of HR (who couldn't make it) asked me to give Gabe a hug for me. Its cwazy good.
I have no idea if your new place will turn out to be great in some unexpected way, but I'm going to hold out hope for you that it can.
