Jesse, how's the new job?
I couldn't sleep. Am tired now.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So far, so good. They really are all about the slow ramp-up, which I guess is good. I finally have a project to work on, but it's small and not due for a month! But I'm starting to meet people and etc....
Oh, this is kind of funny: there was a job that I had applied for a while back because it sounded really interesting, but I wasn't necessarily qualified. I didn't hear anything until last week when they emailed me that they had hired someone else. I learned from the in-house newsletter yesterday that the person they hired came from my new org! A different department, though.

Funny. When I took my current job a few years ago, there was another person hired into the same role a couple of months later, and we figured out in conversation that she had actually interviewed for my old job in the interim. (Her instincts were a lot better than mine though, since she ran away screaming while I suffered through that lunatic place for three years.)

Observation: the cat has breakfasted on a huge mound of asparagus stems and is now passed out cold on the kitchen counter.
Analysis: cats is weird.

Fay, glad to hear you're okay. I was thinking about you when I heard the news this am.

Yikes, Fay! Way-less-excitement-ma for you.

Yikes, Fay! Stay safe. And electrified....

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I interviewed for a job in the publications office of the University and while I was interviewing, my interviewer received a call that was obviously about the job I was interviewing for.
The person on the phone got the job, but then I interviewed for and got her old job, which was my first job here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Stay safe, Fay. That's not a comfortable situation to be in.
