And the Internets tell me that my new computer is in fact a few miles from my house, and no longer in Shanghai, where it was languishing. Can I just say ohthankdog.
I felt exactly the same way after Wallybee's spousal visa was approved.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.

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

did Apple screw up the delivery of that too?
eta: realizes possibly that it was not the actual _visa_ that you were referencing. more coffee is warranted.

Hee. Possibly. I am pleased to say that Apple took their delivery responsibilities seriously to the extent that they were involved.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Sean, do you belong to any unions? A lot of them maintain emergency funds for members who've fallen on hard times. There may be funds available through other sources too--up here, the local organization that runs the big monthly actor/director/techie newsletter and coordinates the gigantic yearly regional mass auditions also has a small fund for anyone on, under, behind, or somewhere in the rigging above the stage who finds themselves in dire need (usually because of a health care crisis for someone in the household).
All of this is stuff the hospital social worker could pursue for you; you just need to mention it.

Sparky, headpats and settled-stomach for the pup. Oxy Clean for you.
She has a talent for puking on the bed a day or two after I've taken all the big blankets & quilts to the triple loaders at the laundry for a cleaning -- which I did on Saturday during the rain. I guess I'll try to motivate myself back there this evening after yoga.
Andi, I will give Jenn your compliments. She's brilliant - a former astrophysicist (she found it too misogynistic a discipline to spend her life in it) turned freelance journalist.

If I could have a theme song, what would it be and why? Yes, it's a silly question, but since last year all I got in the yearbook was a misattributed quote, I'm thinking of actually answering this time. Only I can't think of anything. Well, "O Lord, I Have Made You a Place In My Heart" comes to mind, but it might be a problem if anyone looked up the lyrics.

Nope. Not a union member. S is on honorable withdrawal from her union. They may be able to help.

I'm no help, am I? What? I've been working all weekend, and I show up for a 9:30 meeting that was canceled. Thanks for the heads up on that one. Imma gonna leave early today. Fuck it!
