Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Perkins, so happy for you!
Erin, glad you got what you needed. Hopefully you are asleep right now and not able to read this message.
My insomnia is limited to difficulty falling asleep. Once sleeping, I'm out cold until 10,000 alarms wake me. It's just a matter of quieting the thoughts in my head. I think too much.
Yay, smonster! Hopefully not to late. If they can't offer salary (which is long term), relocation costs a fair amount, depending on how much stuff you have. I would push and say "I'd love to. The job excites me. But between the pay cut and the cost to relocate, I'm not sure I can afford the move." And then, depending on your furniture, it might be cheaper to sell what ya got, and buy replacement stuff when you land at new place.
ION- the elevator in my building is STILL broken. SEVEN days! A week. It's bullshit. I gotta see if I can find if there is some law about that, and deduct from rent or something.

Yeah, Tom took a pretty significant pay cut but was at least able to get an extra week of vacation and moving expenses included.
I'm also taking a pretty hefty paycut but we'll see the numbers once the health care cost differential kicks in (I won't be paying anything for insurance.)

I'm getting the pig!
Yay, smonster! Congrats to you on new possibilities - wherever they may lead.
Erin, I hope and pray that you're sleeping right now and not even close to waking up.
Speaking of doctors and the like, are all antibiotics for UTIs nowadays the sort that cause joint and tendon pain the entire time you're on them? I told the doc No Levaquin because it kicked my ass the one time I was on it years ago. She assured me that what she was prescribing would be ok and it so isn't. It's like Levaquin just changed its name to Macrobid. And today was only day three of this crap (four more to go).
ION- the elevator in my building is STILL broken. SEVEN days!
Ack. I can't imagine there isn't some sort of code violation in this situation. What *if* you or anyone else in the building was in a wheelchair?

I'm on crutches, my neighbor is in a scooter. Not sure how ambulatory she is, or how often she ventures out. I'm looking to see if there is any law on it, but not finding much. It's only a 4 story building. Just happens I'm on floor 3.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Ugh. Cold has turned into wheezing. Also, totally lost my voice. I think I might be calling in sick tomorrow.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Best of luck to you tomorrow, Maria!

You people taunt me with your sleep discussion at the moment. At 00:38 last night/today, my friend with the technical advices of video editing realised he didn't understand what I was trying to do, so I couldn't just burn the files I was editing for a few days (some of them are out of sync. Damn you, .avi). And I'm giving the training-wheels lecture in less than an hour and a half (which left me with humm, 5 hours of sleep of less - oh, and the "training wheels lecture" is the practice of the lecture I give to friends to make sure I'll be doing alright in the lecture itself), and already had to take a pill for the headache of the lack of sleep.
omnis, sorry about the elevator saga. I know nothing of U.S. laws, but isn't anyone in the building to talk with about it?
