Kat, they won't agree to take it in increments out of future pay?
I don't even know what to say -- what a circle jerk. Jesus. I'm so sorry you got slammed with that.
In other news, though, your babies? Still adorable.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Amy, they will agree to take it out of future paychecks. But it works that you have to take a loan FROM the District, sign a promissory note, sign the check over to them so as not to fuck up your next set of taxes for this year, and then pay it back within 12 months.

And thank you for the comment about Noah and Grace. I stayed home today and Noah? Not so adorable with his I-hate-the-world-and-I'm-inconsolable fussing at noon.

Aw. Buck up, Noah! Mommy's got enough on her plate.
It's still just unbelievably fucked up that they screwed up and are handling it in such an asshatted manner.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'll add my spitting outrage on kat's behalf to the pot. WTF were the fuckheads thinkink?
But Noah and kat in matching sweater? So adorable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm on a mac and see the heart. FTR.

With plantar fasciitis, I thought the arch brace [link] worn night and day helped as much as anything, in addition, of course, to stretching, stretching, stretching. When it really hurts, rolling a frozen water bottle with your foot helps. Most of the OTC shoe inserts labeled for "heel pain" seem to help, also.

Our wings are not tired
I see the heart on my iPhone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't keep up with internet lingo. What does ♥ mean?
I am super impressed with Gud for realizing that you weren't seeing the heart. I was seriously thinking, "Wow, she doesn't know what a heart symbolizes?? Is is a joke? What am I not getting?"
I spent a brazilian dollars on the stuff for my contribution to the work holiday potluck on Monday, but I still think it's the easiest thing I could have come up with, as far as transporting and serving. I'm bringing the awesome cream cheese/pesto/sundried tomatoes/etc. thing my mom always makes. YUM.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
People should go look at pictures of animals. Does a body (and a mind) good.
A guy at worked commented that he hadn't seen my dress before and asked if I had a bag of holding. Bunch of geeks.
