I can not overstate how happy I am that I have my own office again (after 10 years in cubes). I keep worrying that they'll take it away from me!
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

I was hoping to find some sort of resource that would educate me on the varying state requirements to be legally recognized as a parent, even if you are the non-bio parent.
Huh. You'd think if she's ALREADY on the birth certificate then it would...already be done? Lambda Legal has a quick rundown of which states recognize second (gay) parent adoption and some of the caselaw which made is so (Colorado does, FYI).

I've never had an office. My last workplace, I was in an open-plan cube facing a wall so people could come up behind me without warning. ICK. Currently I'm at a desk, but my back faces a wall so I can see when people are approaching me.

As MFNlaw said yesterday when we were on the phone, "my law degree entitles me to a door". We agreed that the words hundred thousandS would have to be in any job offer that included a cubicle.

I've had an office for quite awhile, but partly that's because I work for a San Francisco company and our lease expenses are so small compared to out there that there's no particular need to be efficient about space.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am a hot mess right now. I'm seriously considering having a glass of wine now and trying to work more later.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I wish I had chocolate.
Jesse, I think you should have your wine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think I may!
I also just realized why I should be even more irate about the service fees on the tickets I bought online yesterday: They are will-call tickets! I wonder if they will even give me a physical ticket. How is that more expensive for them than my going to the box office and having a person sell them to me??? Grrr!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
absolutely, drink up.
the new office? FREEZING. at least our area is, because the conference room set up as the "war room" is hot and the only way to cool it is to freeze out our whole section. TINO!

OK, I had what looks like a big glass left in the wine bottle, so I'm just having some of it. (Please note: this is a bottle I opened a week and a half ago, so it's not like I'm slipping into problem drinking...)
