Position I was offered is now being opened up to everyone. I am only semi-qualified, and a little gunshy of boss right now.
Man, just ascend already.

I need healthma.
I'm going in for an ultrasound at 3:00 p.m. board time to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. My doctor doesn't think it's likely, but there was this one very tender spot that could be several innocuous things but also just might be ectopic. And since the earlier you catch them, the better the outcome, it's best to err on the side of caution.
Naturally I'm scared. What I'm hoping for from this afternoon is most of all of course to find out that the embryo is in the uterus where it belongs, but as a secondary thing, I want the ultrasound to be conclusive one way or the other, just for my peace of mind.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Jobma here too -- first-round phone interview tomorrow, so not getting hopes too far up. But whatever ma I can get will help.

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

Good news--the embryo is exactly where it should be, and we're about 99% sure we even saw the heartbeat. (At ~3.5 weeks gestation, you can't really see that much--it's not really baby-shaped, but there was definitely some kind of pulsing action going on.) The pain I was experiencing was from a corpus luteum cyst on my left ovary, which is A) not uncommon in early pregnancy, and B) usually resolves on its own.

All is well that ends in pizza.
