Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

well Jesse, it is your fault. I am glad you are taking responsibilty.

Hey, if you didn't even smile when I said "That's hot," I don't even know.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have been offered a job. WOOT.

YAY!

We have it as an ethnicity which causes a whole nother problem because the government says Hispanic is white, and some of our Mexican-American clients disagree.

lately, I've seen a lot of forms that say "are you hispanic/latino? check here" and then a separate section for "race"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Go, Dana! Tell us all about it!

Oh good, I am all caught up then.

My other tiny people are knocking the awesome out of the park, too, so I'm scrambling to keep up.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Congrats, Dana!

Um....there are SO hispanics of other races? What?

Though on our forms at work, we collect race and ethnicity separately, and have occasionally had a hard time explaining the whole "check a box for race, THEN a box for hispanic/not hispanic" and people are all "But if I'm hispanic, what do I put?"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'll be working for a consulting company that does a lot of documentation work for big companies. Hopefully it'll have the stability of a big corporate job without some of the headaches.

And on this first contract I'm doing, I think I'm going to get an office to myself. Okay, technically, it's a file room, but still.

Wow, I'm going to have to go to my old job and clear out my desk.
