Assuming Tim's job is portable, I think Teppy should come work in my neighborhood:
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I think I forgot to say happy birthday to the sweet and lovely sj! I hope it was great and that you have a wonderful year.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
America is fun. I just walked to the 7-11 to pick up a few things. On the way (about three blocks) I passed families speaking at least three languages other than English -- Spanish, Arabic, and something that I think was Hindi. The Arabic-speaking family had a little tiny girl with super-long curly hair in pigtails tied with sparkly red and blue ribbons, a red shirt with a blue heart with sparkly white stars on it, and white socks with sparkly red hearts. Cutest thing ever.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Also Teppy, changing jobs does not have to mean changing careers. You are good at what you do and there is a lot of demand for it. You can go right on doing what you love, just for someone who is less of an asshat.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Teppy, your bosses sound like things are going out of control at their company, and you seem like a convenient scapegoat. (The plague of economic constriction has come upon us! Burn the witch liberal! Deity will reward us with balanced books!)
I hope that you find something better soon. You might want to look into communications departments at NGOs and other non-profits. Their pay doesn't tend to be stellar, but their bennies are often great. (I work for an NGO and got 3 weeks vacation my first year and 2 weeks sick leave in the bank the first day I started work.)

I am alone in my apartment.
This is a very strange feeling.

I'm getting the pig!
Here, have some nuns."
Ahahahaha! That's just funny. And I have a strong feeling that sentence will make it into every conversation I have for the next few days.
I'm glad your birthday has been lovely, sj!
Suzi, I hope you're getting lots of unpacking done.
Thanks to some issues with one of our systems at work, I had to bring home a ton of stuff to finish on my 'day off' today. Bleh. BUT - I'm more than half finished with it now and I'm taking a break, dammit. Besides, I'm fairly certain that the people I'm hanging out with tonight will appreciate it if I shower before coming over. Off to shower!
Happy 4th of July, y'all! Be safe.

Now that the TIVO has been found, and finally connected, I'm waiting (not so patiently {see tag}) for it to reprogram itself.
Any time now....

TIVO is working now, time to test the DVD. Gosh, what should I use as my test DVD? Supernatural Season 1? Ok, if you insist.

Guess I'm talking to myself, but the DVD player works...though I may need to watch a whole episode just to make sure nothing go wonky.
