Yay Tom!
Now I want red beans and rice. No ketchup. Hot sauce, and a piece of cornbread.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Because books.
bounces like you are sitting at your desk and you feel the building MOVE!
I notice this malls sometimes, and parking garages. Maybe they build it that way on purpose?

The status is NOT quo.
YAY TOM AND NORA!!! I'm so happy for you!
Can I just say that I am an idiot? Why, oh why, did I try to engage civilly with the craxy people on the Internet? Silly self. You know better. Walk away before the stupid strikes you blind.

Can I just say how ridiculous it is that people keep asking me to work on things that will continue past the end of my contract, and which I don't think my successor has the experience to handle when I'm gone? RIDICULOUS.
Hey, maybe they'll keep you!

Well, that's one of the things that we love, your relentless optimism.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, maybe they'll keep you!
Please no. I can't take them any more! Of course, if I don't get the job I'm currently hoping for, I'll be slightly screwed, but can cross that bridge when I get to it...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Congrats, Nora and Tom!
One of the business users I interact with told me that he'd give me a recommendation if I needed one for the contract-to-hire process. He was very adamant that he doesn't do that much. God, my fingers are crossed so tightly.

Because books.
Fingers crossed for both Jesse and ita. And for Tom's negotiations!
I need lunch. Surprisingly, or not, I want nothing with a condiment.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Now I want a black bean burger and sweet potato fries.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Congrats to Tom and Nora!
Also, that evil clown guy? What kind of parent hires an evil clown to scare their kids?!? Although I'm guessing it must be for tween or teen parties, right? That makes sense. No one in their right mind would hire a clown to terrify their toddler.
