A friend's fiancee's mother passed away today. It wasn't unexpected, she had cancer, but they were hoping she would make it to the wedding in September. I only met her once at the wedding shower, but she seemed to be a wonderful woman. Fuck cancer!
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Fuck cancer.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I love teens! In the classroom. Nsm at home.
Amen, sistah!!
Oh, sj, I am so sorry.
Hey, all! Just back from a week with the fam in TN. Brought 3 of them back with me. My sis and her 2 kids (ages 10 and 11) came with me. Both of the kids have ADHD. I am already exhausted. They just ran to Target to fiddle around and give their aunt an hour of quiet time. Bless them.

"Yeah. Like the 1970s."
Heh. Did you correct Em on her estimate of historical events?

Fuck cancer. Cause that is always in order.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, they're actually calling my references! I filled the last spot with a guy here at work, who I just remembered offered a while back.
DUDE. I've been working here since October. I'm referred. I should totally have put Buffistas in the other two spots. I don't even know if the other numbers work anymore. I haven't spoken to those guys in forever.
Der.
Nerve wracking.

Our wings are not tired.
Peace and strength to your friend and fiance, sj.
Thanks for all the support. I do like teens a lot. I enjoy watching them discover themselves. They are funny and enthusiastic, and enlivening to be around. For me parenting became easier as communication became easier. It is just horribly frustrating to watch helplessly as they make bad choices. I know we all have to make our own mistakes to learn and grow, but the watching part sucks.
I may challenge him to a card game later. He will beat me soundly because he actually remembers cards, but it will open an opportunity to communicate.
It really does help to be able to vent here. Hugs y'all.

Wow, they are calling references 9 months after you were hired! That is really odd.

I totally meant to post that in Natter. Yeah, they're doing the background check for switching to perm. You'd think I was referred just by having been endorsed by my boss and the CIO after all this time here, no?
But they're serious.
Hard core.
