Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

I'm calling a Good News alert.

My officemates (all but one) missed the train on my birthday last week. They remembered yesterday, and my supervisor brought me a cake today. It is to. die. for.

I'd give you some Allyson, but it probably wouldn't travel well.

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

GA: Do we KNOW that Izzy is leaving? Or are we basing that on what she said about quitting?

The Bear thing: one of the guys I work for was at the Bronx Zoo this weekend when a wild duck foolishly landed in the tiger enclosure. He said it was just like watching his house cat with a song bird, same sort of toying with it, etc. and that everyone pretty much stood there transfixed.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I disliked both of those because the sauce seemed almost curdled when it was reheated, and no amount of stirring could reconstitute them.

That didn't happen with mine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's possible that the microwaves I'm using are into nuclear armament territory. But they're the only ones I use, so I have to work around them. The bowls are all just fine, so I'm going to stick with those.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Wait, yours wasn't a bowl? Maybe I'm talking about something else then? The way my mind is right now, it's entirely possible.

The green curry and the masala were in a multi-section (I seem to recall) thingummy in a box. The stuff that worked well for me was sold in a bowl with a film over top, no box. Though I did have pesto tortellini today that was in a bowl in a box. It was okay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good news: I heard back from the awesome interview place from last week about the next step in the hiring-me (god willing) process. Also, while I don't think I actually want to work at the place I had the informational interview today, it was great to see old friends. Well, one friend and one former co-worker. But still great!

Oh my GOD. Woman in the cube over has to stop with the drama. And/or provide a transcript. Because what I've overheard so far can't possibly be right. Transcript or no, she has to stop yelling.

the next step in the hiring-me (god willing) process

Oh, nice.

It will really be a miracle if I get hired at the awesome place that was my first real interview. That shit never happens to me!

ita, can you gossip with the person on her other side? Maybe you can put the pieces together ...together.
