Woohoo, sarameg! Congrats - makes the added frustration of the new job a little more tolerable?
Our raises are in the works here, but we won't see them officially until just before the fiscal year flip, end of Sep.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Sure!
...until the next time something really annoys the hell out of me.
I can't figure out what calendar the raises here are tied to. It's a bit random.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Happy Birthday, Zenkitty and Ouise!
Congrats, sarameg.
I'm ready to drive back home and go back to bed now.

I don't wanna work anymore today. Sigh.
I think my eyes resents too.

Our wings are not tired.
me too. I did. not. want to get out of bed this morning. Even after snoozing/lolling in bed until 9:45 (I usually get in to work at 9:30), I got up, went to the bathroom, came back into the bedroom and stared at the bed for a few minutes, deeply contemplating returning to its soft, welcoming depths.
My sister!

Happy birthday to a couple of pretties, Ouise and Zenkitty.
Congratulations on the raise, sarameg. Great good news.
I got a random bonus check from my temp agency last week, which was very timely.
New fun thing: Matilda dancing. She bounces up and down and swings her elbows back and forth. Then she throws in a couple hops for good measure.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I got to work and discovered I have a late conference call today, so I could have come in later in the morning. Der, bad planning on my part. So today will be a looooooooooong day.
sigh.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Back from dropping my niece off at her plane. Had to get up at 5:30, boo. Grace was an WONDERFUL guest. I have had a lot of experience with 13-year-olds from teaching them for several years, and I can say that she is a fine example of the breed. She's bouncy and polite and sweet and funny. Very much like her dad. Unlike her dad, she is game for anything, which made touring her around much fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is big.
Good job!
Happy birthday Zenkitty and Ouise!
I actually didn't have that bad a time getting out of bed this morning, and if I hadn't hit the snooze button it might have been even easier. But thanks to a strange suggestion from a kinda relative I've managed to make a dent into disturbing dreams, so I think I slept better.
