Jilli, do you have another job coming up?
The plan is that I will take my mandatory 100-day break from being a contractor at the Big Software Company, and then will return to this team in January as a vendor. Which means working from home!
So I have three months to really work on my writing. Cue the nervous laughter.
Just spoke with publisher's attorney. Basic plan is I have my personal attorney send a letter with my response stating that my publisher is aware of the situation and is in full support of my decision and then publisher's attorney will also send a "me too" letter.
Now, to draft the fuck off and die letter with my attorney.
I had a big lunch (including a cup of coffee) and am suddenly very tired.
WISH ME FUCKING LUCK
What I wouldn't give for the firm of Buffistas, Attorneys at Law to exist. I could just imagine the letterhead.
We do have many areas covered.

And the rest are strategically uncovered, and sprinkled with glitter.
People who live outside London seem to think it's impossible to drive there, but I have no problem (apart from the hideous traffic), and I'm not a confident driver. I'm much more nervous of major highways. I think it's all about the driving conditions you're used to.
Yay for Matilda not hating the program!
Wishing you one appropriately pissed-off attorney, Barb.
Things are looking very not-good again for The Girl's father. I am so crap at being the supportive partner. Especially with me being a demanding care-ee, and with the complicated family relationships there, and all of that. Blah.
In PA they put stop signs at the end of on-ramps. I just don't get it.
The one that I have to take every day, it's because the on-ramp goes directly into traffic -- there's not a little bit of a lane to drive in that's just for the on-ramp people before merging with the cars already driving down the main road. And the way the ramp curves, it's near impossible to see if anyone is coming until you're actually right at the end of the ramp, so if you just kept driving, there's a good chance you'd side-swipe someone that you hadn't been able to see a second ago. I hate that ramp. The ramp itself curves so sharply that you really do need to slow down to 20 or 25, or else anything in the car that's not secured will start flying around.
Jilli, Goth Pundit. What does her Army of Darkness think about the midterms? Is there a pall, or would that just be another day at the office?
I'd set up a season pass for that show.
Now, to draft the fuck off and die letter with my attorney.
Oooooh, if you can share the highlights I'd love to see it.
I'm a big fan of driving wee, fuel efficient cars. But whenever I plan to drive around or out of Detroit I rent a nice midsize car or higher, because the state of my birth requires some serious wheels. If I ever move back I'll probably trade in my Fit for a Buick of some kind.
