That reminds me -- are you racing fans going to watch that show with celebrities racing cars? (I saw ads for it during Traveler last night and thought of you guys.)
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Thanks Trudy! You are also welcome to use that to find a cheap ticket down to Dallas too. Manouflage for everyone!

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
When I get up to San Francisco I should do a Buffista book reading mashup with Hec and deb.

Punishingly Intricate
Just told boss that I got an offer. He was sad but happy for me. And asked what I'd want if they could make a counter-offer. Nobody's ever counter-offered for me before! I said 4 days working at home a week + pay raise + monkey butler. Or, possibly, cabana boy.
I don't know what I'll do if they can meet my requests. The idea of a change is (while scary) pretty intriguing to me now. And I don't know if there's anything else I can do here in terms of furthering my career, such as it is.
Now...I really want BK. I haven't had it all year! I should probably just stick with the hummus and veggies I brought though.

move out and draw fire
The thing about counter-offers is if you accept one, then they know exactly how much your soul costs.
Amazon apparently has too good an idea of who I am, or at least who my virtual friends are...for Jon

hah! hmm...yeah. I told him that even if he can get everything I want I still may need to take the other job. He's always been fine with me working from home but the PTB at the company are not. For reasons that have never been adequately explained.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
PTB are often inexplicable.
In related news, my boss is so fucking crazy. I just accidentally gave her fake-sign-language hands when she asked me for the fourth time "what does that mean?" about a simple statement of fact.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I love Zach Braff. And I wish I had cupcakes.

OMG. People.
Nothing like Jesse's boss, though.
And, um, what are "fake-sign-language hands"?
