Excellent, Suzi!
It turns out that my bar was cleared high enough to drive into work. I'm not precisely sure what happens from here.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I believe Suzi got the only 5.5% raise in the country.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Awesome, Suzi!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Congrats, Suzi!

Any news on your work front?
Well, I haven't received the raise that was "coming in September" and Big Boss in NY needs to "get to know me" before she can promote me. Nevermind that my boss and co-workers here completely support it.
I have given up on them. It has become clear that new Big Boss has no clue what we do and is not going to help the situation. Also, I think they are hoping to move our whole group to NY, so I am now actively looking for something else.
Anyone know of anything in the Bay Area for a French-speaking, former professor, now editor (and project manager/marketer), let me know!

ION my upstairs neighbors are moving out. And the movers are loud. Voices, stomping around, bumping around.

In news to break your heart - mac and a couple of classmates got reprimanded in music today - I guess the teacher yelled a bit or something, but mac got so scared he got excused to the counselor's office and tearily asked to see me. She had him call me instead. Not sure what triggered it, probably something in the tone or pitch of her voice, but it took him to a bad memory and the counselor said he was shaken up enough to voluntarily tell her that he thought something bad would happen like it did in Africa, and he almost never volunteers up stuff from his past to anyone but family.

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

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
In fuck cancer news, mu brother's M-i-L died last night at his home in the Netherlands. They had been nursing her there for a couple of months, ever since they found out her cancer was inoperable. She raised seven children as a widow and was a lovely, kind woman who did endless volunteer work. She was the kind of devout Christian who totally welcomed my atheist American brother and my own Jewish husband into her life with open arms.
Toward the end, she was on a LOT of morphine for the pain, and her breathing was very loud and painful. Her brother was visiting her, and starting singing songs from their childhood to her. My brother said this very serious 80-year-old-man sat by her bed and sang children's songs for an hour. At the end, she opened her eyes, smiled at him, and then died.
