Congrats on the job, Kalshane! And the healthiness of the GF.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Thanks, guys.
Yeah, GF isn't too worried about the gestational diabities, especially since the baby is doing fine. She could just do without the stabbing her fingers every few hours and her feet looking like balloons.

Kalshane, congratulations on the new job and I'm glad to hear that the GF is doing well (all things considered).

Yay, Kalshane! And good to hear the pregnancy is going well for the GF, even with the GD--my SIL had that with her last two pregnancies, and both kids are as healthy as can be ten and fourteen years later.
Lots of good job~ma floating around, because my sister just e-mailed me with the news that she's got a new job that starts on Monday! She'd been laid of for about about a month, and has been trying to get a position with decent pay and more responsibility (she's been taking classes in project management and was hoping to get something along those lines). I'm waiting for her to call me and fill me in on the details.

I've found DHL to be much more reliable, except no US companies have DHL accounts.
Mine does. It's all we use. The guy who owns or founded the company lives kinda near my mom. He's apparently a character.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Some people have a way with words, and some people are Missouri Sen. Kit Bond. At a hearing on the president's foreign aid budget this morning, Bond explained the importance of the Senate Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs this way: "Even though I spend a very large part of my time working on military defense matters and intelligence matters, I believe this committee is extremely important. Because the old saw that in a battle against ideology it's 20 percent kinetic and 80 percent economic development ideological."
OK.....

I do have to giggle at my work cafeteria's thinking sometimes. Usually, their Friday hot meal consists of some kind of bar set-up (hot wings, appetizers, during Lent it's usually a fish fry bar), but today they had an "April Fool's Dinner"--turkey with all the fixings, including dessert. I skipped it in favor of an egg-salad on rye with a side of mixed fruit, mostly because I had a turkey sandwich for dinner last night.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Man, if I had a nickel for every time I said that...

I realized this morning that maybe our boss should have avoided mentioning upcoming raises just before a payday that's technically the third in a month, and therefore doesn't get the usual $5 insurance plan deduction. My immediate reaction was "Wow, all this just for me? You shouldn't have..."

Today's going so much better than yesterday. I was early to work for a change, I have actual work to do, I totally forgot today was free lunch day, and I am now noshing on Chicago-style pizza.
