msbelle-- if you haven't already, I urge to sign up for Linked in and apply for jobs through them. We advertised in several outlets and all our best candidates came from the ad we placed with them. It also helps because when you apply, your whole profile comes up, and you can have references, etc, up there already.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
God damned fucking people, show up for my meeting already. We have half an hour, and the CIO put me on mute.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
HA! I got the one thing I was waiting for, so sent off the thing I've been trying to get done for literally months! In addition to a Big Draft, which I was a little worried about the lack of feedback I've gotten so far, but my coworker assured me that if it was bad, I would have heard already. So that's good. Now I just need to wait out the next 45 minutes.

Now my boss is being whiny with me because he didn't realise I was working from home today. Dude, I sent the email yesterday.
And no one is coming to my meeting. I am sadface.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
good one scrappy, thanks.
I showered and got dressed in outside clothes. Also took down 2 more strands of outside lights, only one string left outside.
Am not sure when my mom will call saying to come get mac. She picks him up on Fridays and went ahead and did it today even though it was a half day. They went to the movies.

My boss was all "You're at home???" while the CIO was on the call. He was also all "I have to go over that document before you present it."
Dude, I don't want to do this in public, but I emailed you all that information last night. And I'm going to say just that when you ask me in front of your boss. Sorry. I'm not taking that rap.
I'm afraid my second meeting was frustrating for half the attendees, but that's our development schedule, and it ain't changing now. You want final requirements, you ain't getting them here. We're still getting user feedback. We're making this shit up. Sorry, testers.
They hate me.
1-on-1 with my boss in seven minutes. I'm not looking forward to it. And then *another* meeting with the same damned people I've been talking to all day. I've been meeting all fucking day and I'm grumpy as shit.
Among other things, I need to choose which garnet nailpolish to take to NY. I have five bottles, and I don't remember which one I like the most. Can't be arsed to test, and WHO FUCKING CARES except me?

ok, I updated my LinkedIn profile to say I am looking for a job, but didn't find any jobs posted to apply for. If people have LinkedIn connections in the DFW area, connect to me and let me know.
mac and grandma are out of the movie and she is bringing him home. I hope it went well.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
God, I am so spoiled by Amazon Prime. I ordered some stuff from Amazon Marketplace and Barnes and Noble, and they are taking FOREVER to get to me. FOREVER.
Forever.

Art Crawl!!!
I love Amazon Prime - even though Amazon itself sometimes sucks (like making erika wait for her Amazon giftcard) - at least I was able to fix it.
Meanwhile, had a long and interesting conversation with the big boss, my boss and another co-worker about the American dream as we see it vs. how it looks to people from other countries. Very interesting.
