It was sunny here, but now, it's more the weather condition I call mysteriously sunny. (Cloudy, but still very bright outside.)
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

"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'.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
CV, she's huge -- and yet, in the last couple of weeks, we've had more people than we can count look at her and say, "Oh, what an alert baby! [They almost never say "She's so alert!" because although she's almost always in pink, it's not frilly or flowery pink, so everyone always chickens out on guessing her gender -- and most of the people who do, guess "boy". Um.] Two months?"
Also, she has two teeth now! Little bitty bottom front teeth, just sprouting up.
Six-month-old babies are awesome for clearing away the mental cobwebs and debris and overhanging pall of depression, but getting to six months can be a little rocky. The cumulative sleep dep will erode all the pleasure centers in your brain if you're not careful. You really need to schedule yourselves a baby holiday somewhere between 3 and 5 months, where grandparents or good friends or someone else you trust can take the babe for a bit -- even just 18 hours will do in a pinch -- and let you sleep, sleep, sleep.
