seems my little neighborhood thing made the 11:00 news. I'm starting to wonder if this is political grandstanding on part of my councilwoman. When she was running, several of us talked about how we will be her stepping stone. She really is the one driving the issue.
ION, so far all DVD's and 100 discs are cataloged (using
Delicious Library ) and nearly 48GB has been restored to iTunes. I got a LOT to go. Oy. Slow and steady wins the race, right? It does feel good to be putting my media back in alpha order again. I'd been slacking on that, seeing how I hardly access the physical CD's anymore, thanks to iTunes. Ironic, no?
returned from a day on the road to find bitches truly amazing and am in awe of the strength and wisdom here.
... still processing all of it.
and not sleeping btw. it's going to be a swell day tomorrow. filled with happy and light.
Will I live up to expectations? Will I be able to do this job they are putting together for me?
Yes, and yes. Because you just rock THAT HARD.
Thanks for the wishes, guys. Any ~ma not being directed to Daniel's sister or Kenya, if you want to send it Connecticut-ward to my dad, that would be great. He's totally and completely heart-broke.
I might have just lost my temper and called a soon-to-be former tenant a whore.
Ooops.
Fuck. Now I'm really angry at myself. The fact that she was swearing and screaming at me shouldn't play in. I'm supposed to be better than that. But I have been going to bat for this girl for MONTHS. She owes $3500 in back rent, didn't bother to show up for court today, her 15 year old has been breaking into apartments and stealing, and ... all of that doesn't matter. I lost my temper and I shouldn't have. I should have been better than that.
I think I really need out of this job.

Or you might have just told the truth.
It's budget season here at the library, and I don't completely understand how people get raises here. And I need to understand so I can address an equity issue I see looming on the horizon.
Daniel, much ~ma for your sister. That must have been scary beyond belief.
Fay, since ~ma is infinite, I offer you even more ~ma for your Kenyan friends. The brother is definitely one hell of a good bloke.
Suzi, you rock! You will knock the new boss dead, they wouldn't have offered you the job if they didn't think so.
Aimee, having been there done that, I have nothing to offer except sympathy. I don't know if it's too late to offer an apology, especially since some folks just can't (or refuse) to accept an apology, but you can try. Good luck.

I was gonna go the route of, "I didn't say 'whore'! I said 'bore'!"
