I am up and posting because I just finished an all-nighter at work and I have an appointment to put a crown on my root canal in an hour and a half. I've come home to pick up Hubby for driving duties, but since I don't know how coherent he'll be on waking up, I'm not going to sleep yet. I figure I'll be too damned hazardous in a couple of hours. Boy I'm looking forward to the sleep yet to come.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, Connie.
It is absolutely torrentially raining outside, and my boss has already sent me two emails that make me think she really has no idea what goes on here. Oh yeah, I've got a case of the Mondays.

My kechain hangs down from the ignition such that keys hit right on my skinned knee.
Work. Bleah.

I AM going to have to get up from this damn chair soon, right?

Not that I'm nagging you or anything, but how's the job hunt going, Theo?

Our wings are not tired.
Eeep. Quick painless dental work followed by blissful sleep wishes for you Connie.
It's Monday! I haven't actually done any of that work stuff yet. Guess I should get on that.

Well, I've got a couple nibbles asking to see my resume, so that's encouraging. I was able to whip out my networking-specific business cards yesterday when some SF-fan acquaintances said their companies are looking, too. And I've registered for Unemployment (severance runs out next month) so that's starting through its bureaucratic process and should be up and running by the time I start needing the money.
The most difficult part lies ahead -- it looks more and more to me that I'll have to find a non-Notes job, which seems a shame because I'm (not modestly) very good at Notes, but on the other hand, I like mastering new things, and thinking through problem-solving on applications and programs is what I do best, regardless of platform. I have to be able to convince just one little company that I'm worth hiring, can that be so hard? :-)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Hey Theo, I hear Librarything is hiring...

I am horribly tired. This is what happens when you stay up too late reading old school Harry Potter fic, man. UGH.
I'm still wanting to rip the spine out of the crazyperson who claimed she once confronted me about what a big fat liar I am and I backed down.
I wonder: does gravity work on her imaginary planet? Are there shrimp? I mean, I haven't seen delusions of grandeur like this since a friend in high school took me aside and confided that he was one of the X-Men.
