Well, I got one of the things I want: A job.
Not the job I want and not the money I want, but I'm trying to be optomistic about it.
If anything, I'm taking it because I need to stop eating.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.
Yay, Aimee! Even if it's not the optimal job/money right now, it's a job, and you'll find something better after a while.
::hugs Aimee::

I hope the job works out for you, Aimee, and the boss turns out to be okay. And if it sucks, well, you can get a few paychecks socked away before you jump ship, at least.

Thanks, guys. Sigh. Things happen for a reason and at least I'll be making enough to qualify for our house loan.
In Emeline antics, she saw a picture of herself as a baby on my mom's desk. She asked what it was, Joe said, "That's you as a baby." She looked at it for a bit and then said, "Aww! That's so cute!"

Compassionately intolerant
I want:
To be totally out of debt and caught up on all obligations
A well-managed, thriving practice
To finish my book and have the kind of success Allyson is enjoying
And this little dude to make it across the country to come live with Bartleby and me. Seriously, he looks exactly like my boy. A matched set, yo.

House loan! Excellent.
What a great Emeline story.

Not that we'll be applying until Joe gets a job, but yeah - house loan.

I think I must have known that it was the plan for you guys to buy a place, but I hadn't realized it would be right away. That's so great!
Continuing job~ma for Joe, of course.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Aimee, sort-of congratulations. Mostly best wishes for finding a job which will make you happier and give your family budget more room for new tiaras.
sj, sorry you are in pain.
askye, I think you are the cat's pyjamas. Not what you are after, but hey, don't give up.
I want:
- Someone to give me my sheepskin on the strength of having done 3/4 of the academic work (and damn near killed myself doing so) plus working in the field for 8 years.
- To be skinny.
- To use the front porch as a porch instead of a store room.
