Happy Solstice, everyone. I know I can't wait to get the orb back...
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.
Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Happy Solstice.
Also?
brenda, I keep trying to wait 'til we're in the same thread at the same time, but it's not happening. Congrats on your new job!!!

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
Thanks, Cindy! I'm gearing up to go give notice today. Not looking forward to that conversation.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Good luck, brenda!

I hope it goes well for you. And hey, people leave jobs all the time. It's not like they had you on a seven figure exclusive contract.
I do (selfishly) hope that before you leave, you find someone on the inside who keeps us up to date on the latest craxy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It was raining in Chicago, but now it's just damp - and still unseasonably warm. Sorta' like a somewhat cooler version of a San Francisco winter.
OTOH (weather has an 'other hand'?) we might get snow on Christmas.

Are you going to do the "Giving Notice" dance?

New England weather is all hands. Hands! In new places! Having once visited Chicago in February, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the same is true, there.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Blessed Solstice. Yay, light back!
I've actually noticed the days getting longer, by inches.
I've kept up, with the toddlers and the Fusstilda and the cute and the glayvin. May I just say that all are unutterably cute, and parents are incredibly patient and wise and good. The one thing a parent forgets, as one's children grow into school age and teenage and eventually off to college, is how un.cease.ing the demand for attention and for action is, with babies and toddlers. Especially toddlers. Truly one should have to train, and possibly pass PT tests, before having kids. I salute each of you.
Um. Last-minute Christmas erranding, DH is tapping his foot as I type. Onward. Upward. Forward. Exthelthior!
Ooh, last four words for Brenda, too! Good luck. And did I say congratulations?

Because books.
brenda, I don't think I've yayed the new job yet either. Yay! And good luck with the giving notice -- I know that can be stressful.
Happy Solstice, all!
