Crap. Crappity crap crap. A significant part of work has blown up into small bits. General "please don't let it be any worse than it already is"~ma would be appreciated, especially around 3 pm EDT.
It's not going to be pretty.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm releasing the jobma. I accepted an offer for the non-profit job at more than they were first offering. I'm really, really excited.

Somehow I failed to tell you yesterday in the excitment-- my A-level results are in: AAB.
Thanks for all the exam-ma and support over the last few years. I'm sure the Buffista attitude to punctuation helped with the A-grade in English.
(Details in my lj, amchau.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I'm going to be dark over the next few days while we move, then grey-ish until the DSL is set up in the new place.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
This is shallow of me, doubtless, but a little generalised -ma would be appreciated right now, if there's any spare, wrt Stupid Travel F*ckUps That May Cost Me Hundred Of Pounds And Are Not My Fault.

Well, we've moved into the new place. For the most part the move went well, but we've had a bunch of first-worldish problems of varying degrees of annoyance: The phone isn't working, the movers couldn't get the box spring up the stairs(so it's in the dining room until we figure out how to compress it), we're missing a bunch of channels on our cable and the dryer got mashed on route to us, so we have to wait for a replacement.

My grandmother is moving from her nursing home to a hospice today. She isn't eating and specified in her will that she doesn't want a feeding tube. Soothing easy passing vibes greatly appreciated.
