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

Oww. Sarameg.

That does suck, Kalshane. I hope you can find something else quickly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Geez, Kalshane, that's really sucky. Good luck finding something else.

I have had a brownish ladybug crawling around on and near my sofa for DAYS. How long do they live?

We used to keep them in jars in the fridge for several days before releasing them on the neighbors..... off to google

Holy crap! They can live up to a year! [link]

This one must be getting awfully bored, you'd think.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Thanks, people. I've sent out an e-mail to friends and family asking for help. I know when I first got annoyed by the reorg, I wasn't too happy with what was out on the job sites, but hopefully things have improved in the last few months.

The thing that sucks most is I like working there. It's just the new CIO and his policies (this shift change is in reaction to them. Someone currently works the shift I am being assigned, but doesn't have much in the way of technical knowledge, and they want 24/7 coverage with knowledgable people, so she is apparently getting moved elsewhere or out the door. The information is still sketchy at the moment.) that are fucking everything up. I really don't want to leave, but once this shift change takes effect, I may as well be working for a different place anyway considering the complete change of time and location.

Do you at least get a shift differential?

Nothing was mentioned. My boss mumbled something about seeing if I could get reimbursed for mileage next week, but that's it. I was trying to get more information, but he said he couldn't tell me anything more until next week (though I was welcome to call him tomorrow to see if that had changed.) It sounds like there was an eidict from the CIO of "Make X happen by next week" and left it up to him to work out the details. My boss doesn't seem particularly happy about this either.

A YEAR! Damn.

I'm thinking the supply of aphids is low enough in my apartment that it won't actually make it a year.

Lead it to freedom!

But it's enjoying my pillow so much!
