JZ the job options sound nice, not conservative boss, but you know, it's Crazy Peppy Upper Land.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Also boo sucks on work people making DJ and Susan cry. That's all kinds of wrong.
Yes, this.
askye, that's so awesome! Yay for PNH!

JZ, that sounds like it has potential. Would you meet Potentially Evil Boss before having to decide about an offer?
As we were leaving today, my boss told me that she absolutely forbade me to spend a single second worrying about the issue in question over the weekend, zero time worrying allowed. And also that they all think I'm doing a wonderful job and are glad to have me. All of which made me feel better.

Ooh, JZ, fingers crossed!
And yay for grandma and the assisted living!
As for meara plans, juliana and i were discussing in email--basically, I have to be at the airport by about 11:30. (I have just arrived in San Mateo, btw, and am ensconced with free wifi at the hotel). So, brunch would be fairly early. And I'm not sure how I'll get to wherever. But. Yes.

That's great, askye!
I'm glad it wasn't happy perky land, JZ. May you get the job that will make you happiest.
Sadly, I just returned from happy perky land, in the form of the volunteer orientation for the Decatur Book Festival, where we were told to remember three F words: flexible, friendly and fun. Also, annoying F word person, there was no need to spend half an hour talking about the wonders of seeing authors in person, except to waste our time with famous people you have hung out with. When we were asked who went to last years' festival, we all raised our hands, and all but about three people had volunteered last year. I have a "bored, now" headache, and I am contemplating another F word.

I remember when JMV was hot.
...at least I think I do. Was he ever, really?I remember him being hot. I was obviously wrong. He’s short and had bad skin. I liked the character though.
I shall seek solace in...shit...I can't believe I forgot the name of the guy who shot himself with the gun loaded with blanks.Oh, I loved Jon Erik Hexum. and Cover Up

askye, great news for your G'ma!
JZ, choices are good to have. There will be plusses and minuses to both. May you be pleased with whichever choice you make.
Ginger, oy. Can the group of you drop kick annoying F word person off the nearest high ground, perhaps?

OK, this is just strange.
Annabel thinks pictures of Suri Cruise are her. She points to them and says, "That's Annabel."
Thing is, I kinda see the resemblance. Which is weird, because DH and I do not at all resemble TomKat, and Annabel is very obviously and visibly our kid.
