Aw geez. Sorry. Proves I shouldn't post jokes late at night. DJ, forgot about that, sorry to dredge up things.
I'm so sorry. I wasn't thinking when I laughed.
Yup, that was me.
Erin_O, are you ok? I hope you had a good nights sleep.
I am no longer in training for police dispatch at work
I hope this means that you are now out of training mode, and not out of a job mode.
If you know me you know I don't deal well with just sitting around waiting. That's what I've been doing since Friday night at 11 PM.
at least you have the iPad.
It's ok. Not crying into my cornflakes or anything.
In other animal news, I feel so sorry for Ozymandias having to deal with his stupid people. I have clearly put something he wants in or on the dresser. I keep showing him things and he just looks back at the dresser and whines ever more plaintively, and then he looks at me and sighs as is to say, "Oy, you dumb girl, I'm looking right at it!"
Today at Wondermark is apparently a Buffista day: [link]
We've been enjoying a visit with D! Instead of the planned biking expedition, we hid from the rain at the art museum. Very nice, this art thing! And yes, making plans to visit Amy!

Police dispatching is very stressful work.
*crossing fingers ND gets released today and that his health is in good enough shape to be released*
I'm trying to log on to find out what I owe for my student loan and where I need to send it, but the site keeps giving me error messages. I was able to update my address, though, so I guess they'll find me. I think I don't have to pay anything until graduation, which is technically next week, so I guess I'll try again then.
Zen- yes, vodka works great on upholstery. 1 part vodka/1 part water, spritz till moist but not soaking, allow to dry. repeat if necessary. that's also how i "cleaned" carpeted cat furniture before bringing it into my home. Kitties don't need toys that smell like other kitties.
And yes, i still have a job, just at a lower salary level and with a few months of feeling like a leper for failing to make the next step up. And i can't train at fire dispatch without police dispatch certification...so it leaves me stuck on phones 10 hrs a night for at least a year before i can try again. Mostly the hurt is just failing significantly for the first time in my life (outside of romantic relationships). i do not like the knowledge that i failed at something, even if i can try again after a year. This is, apparently, a very common feeling at my workplace. I'm starting to think the training dept is staffed with sadists.
I am finally released and will be heading home as soon as Pix gets here.
