That just got....interesting.
G-niece and her mother showed up.
I bought him for $30. Dubious about where that $$ will go, but. And got a hug from L, the woman who looked ready to HIT me when I pleaded to keep him. I just was REALLY FUCKING POLITE, ma'am, and said I'd fallen in love with him. And that I didn't doubt her daughter could take good care of him, it was just that *I* wanted to.
eta: said I didn't want him or me to be an issue between her and Miss Louise (bad blood there,) I just really wanted him. Totally toned down the whole "I spent $200 on him today" and focussed on "let's do what is best."
I'm fucking SHOCKED I pulled that off. And that I wanted to so much.
Good for you, sarameg. I hope this ends the weirdness?
I'm glad you were able to make it work out, Sarameg. KITTY!
Oh, good for you sarameg! And good that it did not escalate and you did what was best for the kitty. Did he/she come with a name?
Yay, officially sarameg's kitteh!!
He came named Tiger, but I don't know if that'll stick.
I'm still not positive they won't try to, uh, negotiate (read: fleece me) but I think it was more pride and attempting to fuck with Miss Louise than actual strong desire for this cat.
Happy Birthday, Nora, Congratulations Burrell and Gadget Girl!
I managed to stab myself with a letter opener at work today. I got a bandaid on it before it started to bleed, but still wound up having to lay down on the floor until the fainting and nausea passed.
Oh- I forgot Happy Birthday Nora, although I may have wished it in Bitches!
How did you stab yourself with a letter opener? And that sounds awful!
I just found my ATM card that I have been missing for 3 weeks. Which would be great, but I finally called it in lost today, and now I have to wait 7-10 days for a new one.
There's a tech writing job opening up at work, and I'm applying for it. I'm looking at my resume now. This is going to be submitted online. Since so many resumes are submitted online, often to sites for specific jobs, do I still need the human-resources-doublespeak summary that says I'm a dedicated problem solver with experience in technical environments?

Not deliberately, but, I'm one of those people who isn't safer with sharp objects. I was trying to pry open the 500th stubbornly sticky envelope and it suddenly gave way and the pointy end wound up in my hand, actually for the second time. The first time it just caused a painful dent in my thumb.
