I say "lift" and "queue" regularly (for elevator and line), and that comes from London schooling. Plus, I like the way they sound.
Mal: Hell, this job I would pull for free. Zoe: Can I have your share? Mal: No. Zoe: If you die, can I have your share? Mal: Yes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If necessary, negotiate an unpaid leave of absence?
Yeah, I figure that's the worst-case scenario.

3 months, and the trip is in June.

You never know. I happened to mention my brother's wedding when I interviewed here (regardless of when you start you don't get vacation until Jan 1 of the next year @@).
I had planned to use the days I had earned freelancing (I took vacation instead of $$, because of said @@ policy) and my boss said, no, you mentioned that before starting, don't worry about it.
So it ended up that I actually was able to go to my brother's wedding in Minnesota and take a vacation in Hawaii, all without actually having any vacation that year.

I have no idea how I say appalachian. I had a prof who grew up in the backwoods of appuhLATCHuh. But they are APpahlaychin mountains. Beats me.
Under 10 swimming lesson kids remind me so much of puppies. The teachers are always laughing by the end of a session.
I need more hours in the day.

Someone's car horn won't stop going off. It doesn't seem to be an alarm. If it doesn't stop soon, I may take it upon myself to bash a window so I can get at the fuse box.
