Argh! I'm all stressed! I haven't started a new job in 8 years. I don't know what to do! I won't know how to use the computers! I won't know the internet policy! How will I live without checking LJ and gmail a dozen times a day? Argh!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Thanks for the ionizer links, guys -- I think I'll give the bulbs a miss.

Congrats on the new job, Suela!

Yeah, it's in Oakland, which will, ironically, be a more difficult/expensive commute than my current one to downtown SF. Also fewer great restaurants nearby.

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

Congratulations, Consuela!

I just got off a near hour-long video conference Skype session with my sister. I have to say, it's well suited for rambling shit-shooting, plus entirely of the free.

I wonder if we'll get bored of it, or if it will become totally normal. My parents both want webcams now.

Congratulations, Consuela!

It's been a year of changes and transitions for you.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Juliana introduced me to 3 Olive Cherry Vodka, for lo she is evil.

which, to take the credit, I introduced her to.

Actually, not to rain on your parade, darling, but I was drinking Three Olives Cherry & 7ups long before I knew you - we had it at the Market BBQ in MSP & it was my drink of choice at karaoke. You just supplied it when I hadn't had it for nigh on 6 months, for which I was very grateful.

YAY Consuela!!!

Gah. Still have the ick. Want to go running, but am doubtful of motivation.

ah, this I did not know. I should have realized that someone with such excellent taste would already have known of the 3 Olives

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Congrats, Consuela! I hope the change is worth the stress.
