hopefully the bad days will only be a day or two. I feel vaguely guilty about staying home today - except that the thought of going to the grocery store- or even putting the dishes in the dishwasher is vaguely daunting.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

I miss Polish food. It was all over Buffalo when I lived there.
Spidra, your co-workers are a bunch of asses. I hope, for your sake, it's a condition that passes (hopefully very painfully) well before March 31st. I wish I had an "in" here. You'd still might work for jerks, but the benefits are good.
I went back and filled in more of my Expression of Interest to migrate to NZ. I was wrong -- even without the job offer I'm an automatic admit. The DH and I might have to talk. (If you want to play, the points indicator is here. Minimum is 100, automatic admit is 140. On this I manage a 155.)

Huh. I scored a 125. (About time that masters degree became useful.) If the SD madness spreads I may have to give this more thought. Thanks, Sparky.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Wow. That's exciting, Sparky. If I suddenly had a workable offer to move to Canada, Sweden or Denmark, I'd be sorely tempted right now. NZ and Australia would also be on that list but they seem so remote.
I have no library degree. I have a little bit of experience working at the URL at UCLA as well as some experience working at a law librarian temp agency. So if you hear of anything, do let me know. UC is definitely on my list of desirable employers. I've applied many times but it's hard to get in there without knowing someone.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
That is great, Sparky.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That is cool, sparky.
When can I come visit?

I got a 95, but I didn't chase down their preferrred industry listing or anything.

When can I come visit?
I should probably be there, first.
The online Expression of Interest form is making me nuts because it doesn't tell me what comes next.
If I go to NZ, my mother is going to kill me ded. There's also a job posting in Toronto, so that's a possible ticket away from the Bushies, also.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
No! There will be no visiting, because Sparky is to stay RIGHT HERE ON THIS CONTINENT, preferably in this same little easily public transit accessible corner of it. What are you doing, Perkins, encouraging this madness?
