The last thing that made me smile? What I'm listening to on my iPod.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Meh. I've got the headache that won't go away. I was warned, since I had the vision-distorting colored lights in front of my eyes this morning. Ick.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What I'm listening to on my iPod.

Me, too.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Why do I have to stay another 2 1/2 hours? I'm ready to leave now.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Anyone else think that Cecilia is a big ho? I mean, the poor guy was up just long enough to wash his face, and....

Maybe he was bad in the sack, and that was the first chance Cecilia had to ditch him for the milkman.

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

Please. She had 50 ways to leave him.

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.

Skipping approximately a kajillion posts to say I apparently have jobage.

It's not perfect, by any means. It's second shift and pays the same as old company. However, it's only a 15-minute commute (most of the openings I've seen and applied for were in the 45 minutes to an hour without traffic range) and they're looking to expand their department over the next year, which opens up the possibility of snagging a day shift position at a later date. Plus, it's M-F (with the possibility of one weekend a month on a rotation) which is a whole lot better than old company.

For now it's a contract-to-hire position. But the original opening was for a 6-12 month contract-to-hire. After interviewing me, they told the staffing firm that they only wanted a 3-month contract and plan to bring me on full-time after that if I work out. So apparently I give good interview. (It was only the 2nd one I had. No one else I applied to even responded. Which means I need to work on my resume/cover letter skills, I guess.)

So, one less bit of stress. Which is good, since I'm already stressing enough about the GF's ultrasound appointment on Friday.

I was going to ask if at least the night shift hours were better.

What is even happening?

Kalshane, that's great. 15 minutes is a much shorter commute than your old job too, right?

Not even "Walking on Sunshine"?

Katrina and the Waves don't evoke pleasant childhood memories of watching Sesame Street for me, so nope.
