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

Yay Emmett and the Eagles!

I'm hiding in the computer/TV room while Matilda and my brother and his GF garden and toss around a Nerf ball that has, for complicated reasons, also been designated the GF's teddy bear. Aside from one spectacular meltdown leading to an aborted playground visit and a stern time-out, she's had a grand time digging in the dirt and playing with the cats and eating noodles and splashing in fountains. If David and Emmett were here, she would never want to leave ever again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My interview went well, thanks for asking. I now have two hiring managers to make it past this week. Here's hoping.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Good luck, ita.

ita, what did the job sound like? Do you have a clearer read on the description?

Just back from a banquet for drill team. Fer Reals.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yay ita for the good interview!

I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day. We were at the kids' Grandpa's house, the house where my DH grew up. We never go visit, but we should, way more often. It was fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

what did the job sound like?

Within my wheelhouse. Near Allyson's house. Similar in principle to my last job, but more software feasibility assessment.

But it's just a 3-4 month gig. I need permanent, with dental care. I'm way overdue.

The job I had the phone interview for on Thursday is cooler, and for a cool web company. Also permanent, with dental. And closer--nearer Kristen's old place.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

well, I hope they both make offers, but nice and close so you can take the better one.

and in good news for me, I was able to take a shower without feeling like my back and shoulders were on fire. so while not a light sunburn, it isn't so bad.

My fingers are crossed for you, ita.

I am now clean. I do like the country house, but with all the dust I end up feeling filthy. Everyone needed a bath.
