Hey, why bother shipping you out there? They should just pick out some girl and mail her to you.

I will turn 25 in September.

I should clarify that what I just reported is simply hearsay and was possibly in half-jest, except maybe more like quarter-jest, because no one in my family will SHUT UP about marriage anymore.

Oh, don't be crass.

The postage would be more than the plane ticket.

Speaking of jobs, P-C, has your permanent status been formalized?

I'd hate for you to get married and then have some glitch come up on the employment front...

In mememe news on the employment front, DH got a call from a headhunter who is looking to fill a position with a company I worked for when we first met. It's hilarious! And also a great opportunity, because I happen to know that they pay very well and have a lot of perqs perks good non-salary parts of the compensation package.

I have this vision where you're at some indie music store and you and this cute Indian girl both reach for the same CD. You chat her up, go for coffee, and happiness ensues. You like her, she likes you and your family likes her and gets off your back.

Maybe if I think it hard enough, it will happen.

Oooh, I like that vision. I will think it hard, too.

Speaking of jobs, P-C, has your permanent status been formalized?

The job offer should supposedly come this week. As I said before, the Chief Medical Officer has apparently heard great things about me, but I suspect he's been hearing about my document management project that's not related to medical writing. He asked me if I wanted to take a course in web design so I could optimize it further.

I'm kind of unsettled by the fact that people are saying good things about me. It's freaky. And I don't feel like I deserve it.

Aww. Think hard. It can be a library or a bookstore, too. Or a movie. Or a theatre. Or the BART. ANYWHERE.

Gronk.

Suzi Qutie! Did K-Bug's team win today??? Was dinner fun?

I;ve been trying to do an lj write-up, but today was a rough day. I think the altitude finally hit everyone. We lost both games. K-Bug did not play well and had a meltdown. I ended up having a meltdown. The team dinner was cancelled because one of the girls has a peanut allergy so she can't go to Texas Roadhouse. We figured we would find a different place for a different night. A bunch of us ended up going there anyway.

Now I'm back in our room, sunburn, exhausted, and I still have to write this stupid paper. Wanna come over and do it for me???

Suzi! Sorry for the tough day.
