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.

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

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.

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.

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?
yayyayayayayayayayayayay to Tom and Nora!!! That is so freaking exciting!!!
Crossed fingers for ita and Jesse.
Why, oh why, did I try to engage civilly with the craxy people on the Internet?
Oh, punkin, it's the teacher in you. You're trying to have a teachable moment with the craxies.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Now I want a black bean burger and sweet potato fries.
Now I do, too! And I don't know where I can get both in the same restaurant. First world problems, I can haz.

Yay for Nora and Tom!!!
And I finally got my taxes filed, which was an adventure simply due to the fact that I needed a PIN to file my Illinois taxes, and their online retrieval site is down "for maintenance" and their phone line was tied up for nearly 30 minutes before I could get through. That's what I get for waiting until the 15th to file, I guess!
Now I just have to transfer money into my checking account to cover the payments...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Congratulations, Nora & Tom!!!!
Tuna salad has celery, onions, hard boiled egg, and as little mayonaise as possible to glue it together.
Egg salad has mustard, sweet relish, and minimal mayo.
Last time I made it I didn't have relish so I used Branston Pickle. It tasted soooooo good but it makes the egg salad oddly brown -- so close the sammich quickly.

TOM GOT A JOB OFFER IN NEW ORLEANS
Game changer! Superexciting life changing whoa!
Almost diametrically opposite the last two hours I spent at the DMV where (a) I'd forgotten about how much the tax is on the title change (answer: hundreds) and (b) the title transfer was misdated "5/14" instead of "4/14" and since it's a legal document I now have to go back to the guy who sold it and get him to give me a bill of sale. Which he is happy to do, and it's around the corner from Emmett's Krav lesson. Still, I wanted the transfer through so we could get the local parking sticker and be done with the bureaublahblah.
OTOH...New Orleans!
