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.

It's to a much lower-stress job, although only a two-year position. Change is good, I have to remind myself of that.
It's going to be an interesting year, I think.
One of the things I'm really looking forward to is that this entity allows a compressed work schedule, so if I work 9-hour days for 2 weeks, I get alternate Fridays off. Two three-day weekends per month! Awesome!
Really, the stress is about leaving my current position, where I'm a manager and have people working for me and people relying on me. And I know I don't owe the company anything, but I really like the people I work with; so leaving them, and the flexibility of private industry, is going to be a little hard.
