I would really like a job that doesn't make me nauseated on Sunday nights. Ugh.

That is no good.

Orlando just opened an IKEA within the last 12 months and Tampa is supposed to get one within the next 12 months. Those are the closest options for IKEA fixes from here.

Halifax will not see IKEA again in my lifetime, I'm sure. I'm slightly bitter.

If I could take a ferry to Ikea I would even if all I bought once I got there was Swedish meatballs.

Me too. I had nightmares of all work varieties last night. Including being dressed down by the head of mission for something I didn't do, and my boss conspiring with another head to do work I am supposed to do. Uhg.

I can't wait until January. So much will be less crazed. In January.

Poor mac & msbelle!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sure, it sounds romantic, but then you discover you have to assemble the ferry yourself.

The main reason this board still lets me hang around is that I supply the setup for some of Billytea's best lines.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Please let me find a job that doesn't make me feel like throwing up four times a day in the New Year.

At least I'm doing better than Allyson! I can't decide if checking my email would make it better or worse.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I got nothing. It just says it all.

Help desperately needed!

We are on the verge of becoming a fiasco of the type that is broadcast on This American Life.

One of the paired doves that hangs out around our house just fell down the chimney and is now in trapped in the fireplace. Non lethal suggestions for how to get him out?

How is it trapped?

Sheets. Swooping sheets herding it to an opening.

If you can corner it with the sheet in the fireplace, blocking the upward escape, and lay your hands on it, carry it outside and all is good.

If it's stuck in the chimney, or not coming out, just block out its entrance to the house. It will get out as long as nothing is seriously wrong with it.

Man, I wish I were there. I'm good at that shit.
