Review went good, squee. I still have a job and we're getting raises!
Well done, oh bon!
Hope you're getting some "it was nothing serious" news soon, ita.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Right on, bon bon!

ita, I hope everything will be okay with your dad.
In house news, today was all business. The bank, the mortgage broker, the lawyer, and the inspection. I am exhausted.
ETA: Yay for the raise, bon!!

The status is NOT quo.

Bon, YAY on the good review and raise!

~ma for ita and her dad (and family).
Yay, for bon bon! Also for Sue and your new house!
I just filed my taxes. Why do I always end up owning Illinois one dollar? Oh, well, at least the refund from the feds should be enough to get the laptop I need, either that or pay for my glasses and make a decent payment on my one remaining credit card. But, I'll still need to get a laptop sometime before July.
Hmmm, must think about this...

Thanks for the advice, Allyson. If I can drag myself out of bed early enough, donuts are a fine idea. I even pass a Dunkin' Donuts on the way to work.
And Dana, any suggestions would be keen. My supervisor finally sent me an outline she wants me to follow, so I'm not feeling quite as tossed off the deep end as I was earlier. And I have rum now. So yay.
When I got home from work, I was sorting through my mail and found an envelope from my high school with a "please verify your graduate information" stamped on the front. I stared at it for one horrified moment, thinking, "WTF? No! You can't make me go back to high school!"
Then I opened it and found out they just want my alumni information.

Phone just rang. Verbatim conversation:
Guy on phone: "Hey, how's it going?"
me: "Hi, who is this?"
Guy: "My name is Tony Somethingorother, and I'm sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ tonight. Can I share it with you?"
me: "No, thank you." Hangs up.
Christian telemarketers? What fresh hell is this?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Maybe they get a commission when they get to heaven.

ita- I hope your father is better soon.
Also, WRT the Christian Telemarketer-- I feel that "Good News" is rather outmoded. I mean, shouldn't good news be surprising and new. Jesus died a long time ago. But I come from the point of view that evangelizing of any kind seems sort of rude to me, and perhaps like something Jesus wouldn't have done. He seems like he wanted to help the less fortunate and, you know, not throw stones if we live in glass houses and such, and in general be nice and good toother people (do unto others). And I bet Tony does not want us calling him to telemarket Buffy, or devil worship, or anything.
