Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm just glad I did dress more for the 45 it was at the time, not the 68 that was promised.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Why so blue, liese?

I have no freaking idea. The SO was a tad depressed lately, and I worked his out, no problem. He enacted solutions to the root problems, and he's good to go. But myself? No clue.

We're back with the kids today, so I'll spend the day engulfed in work, and that'll probably help.

It was sunny here, but now, it's more the weather condition I call mysteriously sunny. (Cloudy, but still very bright outside.)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Last week here. Butterflies in my stomach. I have so much cleaning up and packing to do.

You getting any time off between gigs, Allyson?

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

I have mixed feelings about the Apple-EMI-no DRM news. On the one hand, yay. On the other, what about all the music I've already bought? But mostly, yay.

I have your warm and sunny.

And am irritable and overworked.

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

Nah, I start the new job on Monday.

JZ, adorable pictures! She's getting BIG. Crazy how that happens.

In other news, I hate my stupid job. Did I mention that already?

'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"

It looks like I will spend a large amount of my afternoon moving files off my work laptop onto my personal laptop so that I don't lose something like 10 years worth of personal stuff. I could go in and clean out my cube, too, but this first.

I talked to ex-Boss and ex-Project Leader and they both are gratifyingly sorry/dismayed/disconsolate that I am gone. They also want me to end up someplace good so that when they end up looking for work, they'll have an 'in'.
