Oh yeah. I can see that you're coming out of the car geek corner any second now.Could be!
Um, or not, maybe.
But shiny cars! Awesome suspension! Cornering! Straightway speeds! I ... I ... I am an unrepentant race slut.
Cars is shiny!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Kristin, replace "beefy" with "strong" or "husky".
ND, yes!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Hmmm, "beefy" would go along with "steers like a cow" really.
I woke up this morning (the first full day of my layoff) and immediately thought of various tasks at work that I had to do... then remembered it's not my responsibility any more. I will say this: my coworkers and ex-boss are so going to miss me. I left a fair amount of documentation behind, but really, when you don't know the answer is somewhere in an obscure file, it's not going to pop out at you where to look for it.
In the meantime, I'm going to look at the next month or so as Paid Vacation before buckling down to the job of seeking work, which from my previous experience consumes on average less than two hours a day because there are only so many postings and leads and interviews one can go on. Which leaves the rest of the time for reading, writing, exercising and so on.

Random: After last night's Daily Show, John Oliver and Larry Wilmore are now my OTP. They better do more of those segments because that was made of awsome.

"Husky" is a word with far stronger negative connotations than "beefy," IMHO.

Do take it easy, msbelle! You've got to take care of yourself first, or you won't be able to do a good job.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I am following a telenovela-like saga of a teenage con artist's company from Digg. Oh. My.
Like I needed a time-waster on the internets today.

Trust my rage
How is it that there are people in the world who *still* do not know that you don't hit "Reply All" when the original email went to 40+ people to make your own little point or vent your own personal frustration?

I'm sorrry to hear of Theo and Nutty's job problems. Something that Theo said reminded me of a lecture that I went to last week:
But I learned long ago that my career isn't my life (just a part of it) so I can grab down one of the other hats I have hanging around -- writer, craftsperson, fan, daughter, sister, friend and spend more time on that aspect.
There is a sociologist on my campus who studies women's response to stress and life-change. One of her main findings is that the best predictor of women's adaptation to stress (e.g. illness or injury, death of a relative, divorce, economic hardship) is the number of differnt roles (hats, in Theo's terms) that they see themselves in. The more roles, the better the response to stress. And it's not really how many things you actually do in your life. It's how many roles you articulate when you are asked to describe yourself. So if you want to be robust to stress, collect lots of hats.
