Well, I got word back today that they chose someone else for the facility coordinator position, someone with a lot more experience. I'm a bit disappointed, but not terribly so. I'm more relieved, I think. I've been really enjoying my job exactly as it is, and I had been worried that being stuck in one location would yield less happiness.
Not really in need of hair pats, as Harvey is purring his little heart out, and I've been doing little pampering things for myself - long hot shower with rose scented soap followed by coconut oil/aloe skin treatment, there was some delicious pasta with diced tomatoes and asiago cheese for supper, and now a nice cup of mocha.
Plus there is the bonus of not really having to deal with the two coworkers who have challenging work personas. Well, I have to work with them, and report if they cross any serious lines. But I don't have to have the ugly, serious conversations with them when they cross minor lines.
Time to put on the suit, and head out to the Silver Beaver Awards. I really wish it was a porny as it sounds. Ye gads am I... well... never mind.
I somehow managed to completely lose track of time this afternoon and missed combinatorics seminar. Oops.
ION: Gays cause earthquakes. [link]
"A cost-effective way of averting earthquake damage," he added, "would be to stop passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the State of Israel, which anyways causes earthquakes."
(For those who don't know about Israeli politics: "MK" means Member of Knesset (Parliament), and Shas is a very religious very right-wing political party.)
Glad you are pampering yourself, WS, and I hope your job continues to treat you well.
I hate flat tires. Boo, indeed. Glad Emmett's hearing is okay.
Fantastic cut, Raq! Very Scully.

That makes the walls of Jericho tumbling down seem different.

snorfled my water. sure did.
Boo, flat tire, indeed.
Did the craft and sewing minded among us know about [link] SuperBuzzy.com? The cuteness there can make up for a whole lot of unpleasantness. Look for "roly poly panda" fabric for especial cuteness. Echidna fans might care to look for the hedgehog stuff. And as far as I can tell, no possums, so it should be safe enough.
Pity my poor neighbors. The dog is barking at the eclipse and won't come in.
Thanks for the offer of advice, Maria! I just may take you up on it.
Raq does indeed have Scully hair, and Scully is my all-time biggest girlcrush. Look out, girl!
Sorry, but Raq just can't be Scully. Scully wears a suit and is too practical (even if she is really pretty.) Raq, on the other hand, wears stripy arm warmers and low rise jeans. That is sassy, that is slinky, that is fun and funky. Scully is not. I rest my case.
