Honestly, if I hadn't got laid off, I'd still have been looking for a new job. This way, I get paid for it.
That's a great way to see it, so good for you! (I have heard only good things from the people who got laid off here... on the other hand, it's only been two weeks.)
bt, when's the baby due?
April 29 (yes, two weeks' time), though the bub's a little on the large side, so maybe he'll arrive a bit early.
Boo and yay, bt!
And crap, I'm really not better mentally today. The prospect of dealing with my employer's website kinda sent me into a tailspin.
Oh wow! So exciting!
It is rather. Wallybee's parents have just let us know their visa has been approved, so they'll be out here in about a week or so.

Man, I would love to get laid off.
for bt: Rare dolphin spits to catch its prey, scientists find
A rare species of Australian dolphin has been found to catch its fish prey by spitting water, according to research by WWF. The small snubfin dolphins hunt in groups and use their spitting technique to round up fish they have chased to the surface by firing jets of water from their mouths.
The unusual behaviour has only been observed in one other dolphin species, the Irrawaddy dolphin, which lives throughout south and south-east Asia.
"This is incredibly unusual behaviour, first seen in Australia off the Kimberley Coast," said WWF Australia's marine and coasts manager, Lydia Gibson. "It also confirms the snubfin dolphin is a fascinating animal, one which we know so little about."
The snubfin dolphin (Orcaella heinsohni) was discovered in 2005 and is Australia's only endemic dolphin species, meaning that it is unique to northern Australia. Virtually nothing is known about its behaviour or habits.
I fucking hate my employer. Right now their goddamned website is standing between me and a mortgage. SERIOUSLY.
