You know what's not fun? Walking to the cafe with your boss and having her say "Yeah, I don't know anything. Everything may be fine, but if you want to start looking at what openings there are on other teams, everyone has permission to." I mean, I'd already started scoping out the internal job board, but still! Not Reassuring, BossLady!
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, jeez, Jilli. Good luck.
I don't often trust other people to prepare and store mayo-salady foodstuffs.
Not to be eaten outside!! I mean, seriously.

I figure the asking you to choose a sandwich in advance is to cut costs on food that isn't eaten ... but those don't sound like good choices. Unless their clever plan is to save lots of money by having people bring their own.

It did just occur to me that I could just bring my own turkey sandwich...

Oh, and I miscalculated, and I got an extra week of severance, which should help with the Windows computer that I didn't know I'd want to buy for programming class.

I wrote the rent check, I signed my timesheet, I went to the ATM, I got some ointment for my poor toe, I have a boarding pass, I finished all the edits I needed to make, and have the code ready for the edits I need to make first thing on Tuesday.
I guess all I have to do now is get to the airport.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Speaking of which, I need to dye my hair, pack some clothes, and hit the road.
