Oh, shut up. I want teleportation, damnit.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I want free teleportation.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
We just watched When StarWars Ruled the World on VH-1. It was cool. But it made me want to watch StarWars. Which we only have on VHS. I'm sick, I want to watch itin bed. My last job gave me a gift card to borders. DH just went to go fetch the dvd version. Good Husband.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Beth, I somehow missed that you took a new job. YAY

It was all very weird - bump in title (yay) down in dollars ( boo) , a few less hours ( average per week) , more variety ( yay) ( but I will be doing storytimes --eek!) , closer to home ( yay), and the major bonus - tues, wed, thurs - no weekends at a public library job. Unheard of.
Beth, I somehow missed that you took a new job
that's because the whole thing was odd. as in, when I intervied I wasn't sure if I wanted it. And my boss knew I got it about a week before I knew. and Oddly, the whole world assumed I would say yes I wasn't asked if I wanted the job, I was told when I would start.
so I never did a major annocement- because it all happend sorta sideways.

I should. To say something very "my diamond shoes are too tight" my old library was very well funded. and very well staffed. Which meant that I spent a lot of time waiting for people to ask me questions.Sometimes begging them to ask me questions. Occassionaly inventing questions. there are thousands of small backroom jobs that can be done at a public desk. But no, my job was 100% avaliblity to the public. An amazing customer service level, but not much for career building.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
So... my birthday is only 23 hours long!
Don't worry about it. I'm already compensating by having the 25 hour birthday. I don't know if it happens this year, but it's happened a number of times.
