After 18 months of being mostly unemployed (interrupted by 8 weeks of part-time work for some of the worst human beings I have ever known in my life), I was offered a job today with the state legislature, doing pretty much what I was doing before (for ~$20K less, though). I was hoping to come out of this long dark tea-time of the soul with some sense of growth and change, but hell, I'll take it.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
please send some smoothing of bureaucratic red tape to my friends C and D . D is a good friend of Matt's and he met C on our front porch. They got married on Feb 12th. she is expecting. The complication: She lives in england - he lives here. She has a job and an home in england and they want to live there at this point- his visa was just denied - and we don't know why yet. We'd just like to see things work so they can be together as a family.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
One of my classes this semester is a “conditions” class, where we have hour-long lectures on different medical conditions. My group is doing a presentation on Anxiety disorders (hitting specifically Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, Specific phobias, PTSD, OCD, and General Anxiety Disorder). I am hoping to be able to show (30-60 second) videos of people with these conditions, talking about what they wish people knew about it and them. If you’re interested and think you might be able to help, please let me know. This will only be used in the class, and we won’t give out any personal details without your explicit permission.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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
