I just got some great news from my former job, which makes me feel good about myself, but doesn't help me in my current job at all! Oh well...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I judge people for assuming I'm judging them.

Happy Birthday, Sue!
x-post with Bitches: Thank you all for the ~ma. My sister-in-law's father passed away Sunday morning. My brother said that they are probably going to have to knock him completely out for the radiation, but he's totally up for that. Turns out the anxiety attacks are a physical symptom of the brain tumor, along with the speech problems, etc., and consequently, are very difficult to treat.
I'm still not sure when a good time to go up to NY will be. I'm thinking that I may want to let things settle a bit, and see how he's feeling after a few weeks of treatment. As my boss reminded me, I'm not going up there to fall into a caretaker role like I fell into with both of my parents (not that my brother and SiL would ever tolerate that from me in a million years). I'm just going up to visit, and to be there.
Stephanie, I'm glad the talk with your boss went better than you expected.

Has anybody had problems with Sears Home Services? Because in my never-ending quest to find somebody to replace my furnace, they seem like they'd be a logical possibility....

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Heh. Yeah. People! Stop assuming I'm judging you!
Heh. See also:
Random person: Want a brownie?
Me: No, thanks.
Person: They're really good, go on, have one.
Me: No, thanks, I'm vegan, and those have egg.
Person: You're vegan? So, like, you think I'm a murderer for eating this brownie? God, you vegans are so judgmental.
Me: Buh?

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're vegan? So, like, you think I'm a murderer for eating this brownie? God, you vegans are so judgmental.
Oh dear.

Dang, Hil, I can FEEL YOU JUDGING ME FROM HERE for the pot roast I have in my fridge!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For the record, I judge everyone. It's just easier that way.

Is that who Pix had the nightmare with? It was someone similar to that...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Is that who Pix had the nightmare with?
Yeah, the air-conditioner fiasco.
OTOH, the Sears in my neighborhood has a great reputation for appliances (I'll be able to report firsthand after this weekend). Since they subcontract for delivery & installation, I'm guessing it varies widely by individual location.
