Yes. Frequently.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, Jesse! I was just coming here to report on my first day's wearing, and encourage you to buy! (They are v. comfy, btw)
Awesome.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
President Obama is speaking at U of M's commencement on Saturday. The Secret Service has, apparently, arrived.

Welcome to the CSA collective, SuziQ. It's much tastier than the borg one.
I'm on my second week of splitting a CSA with amyth. And I've had salad as one meal per day, five days this week. Not a coincidence. While it's a big initial outlay, there's something nice about going up to the booth at the farmers' market (our pickup point), getting a big box of fresh veg, and walking away without ever opening your wallet.

Trust my rage
Suzi, what CSA did you go with? I found some cheaper than the original one I looked at but it only goes for 19 weeks instead of 26.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm so jealous of you people with spring CSAs. Mine doesn't start until June.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am having schedule issues because I don't know if I'll be in the hospital next Monday and Tuesday. It's not weird to want to know that, eh? Jaysus. I have responsibilities, for crying out loud.
On the ohemgee really? front, I *think* my boss said he was going to HR to get me an offer, but I refuse to exhale on that one until it's official. It's just too big.

Is this what living in DC is like??
When you're lucky. Add in motorcades, random road closures, protestors, and tourists on most days.

Is this what living in DC is like??
Pretty much. That's why people say they know not only the best route to take from Point A to Point B based on time of day/rush hour status, but also time of year (Cherry Blossom Festival/# of tourists?) and whether or not the President/diplomats/various other time-wasting annoying convoys of limos and police cars and helicopters are going to be in town!
(Of course Xpost with Toddson!)

The ones I'm looking at don't start until June either. But I think amych's has already been producing.
eta: Which I realize now is probably what Jessica was talking about. The 26 week one I'm looking at goes until the end of December which I think is a bit odd, but cool.
