Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

“Not dead yet!”

Need hivemind help--

Sentence from MS:

Not completely following, I leaned forward and focused on the screen, watching myself, a shimmer white dot amidst swirling color and movement.

Copy editor changed amidst to amid. Any reason I shouldn't just stet it?

Never mind-- I think I just answered my own question. It's the first entry in Merriam-Webster.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG OMG. I was just offered a job. At slightly less than I was making before to start, to go up to what I was making before in 4-6 months. It's really a minor difference. Of course, I was hoping to get a bump up, but Boston v. NYC, blah blah blah. I can't figure out how much of an issue I should make of the salary thing. Ask that the goal amount be higher?

Punishingly Intricate

WOOHOO JESSE!!!!! Good luck w/ figuring out the negotiations. I think asking that the goal amount be higher seems reasonable.

Has anyone heard from ita?

Yes, she'll be home shortly. I suspect she'll be posting soon after that.

Go Jesse! Congrats!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, bumping up the goal seems like a good compromise position. Go you!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Woo, Jesse! Good luck with negotiating, I have no idea how one does that.
