yay job, Theo. Even if it isn't precisely what you had envisioned.

I hope everything goes well for the job, Theo. Maybe you'll be able to contribute to Not Always Right: [link]

Oh, I'm certain I'll get my chance to interact with the Crazeee Customerz. This is the little Star Market tucked away on Beacon Street, which is the closest chain grocery store to the Harvard and Lesley campuses and dorms -- I'm sure it wouldn't still be open otherwise. There's always parking, never seems to be huge lines, et cetera.

I'm just contemplating that I will probably be getting health care insurance -- probably not great benefits -- but that will save me a bunch of money compared to buying it on my own, which makes the $9/hour go quite a bit further in my own personal down-sized economy.

I may also be joining a union!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah -- forget it about my father, then!

That's great news about insurance.

Good news Theo.

So far today I have: napped, finished The Secret Lives of Dresses, had lunch, had a three hour nap. This rock and roll lifestyle is going to kill me.

the one thing that needs to be on that list is shovel. Winter is a jerk.

I wish I were a napper. I'm tired.

Good luck, Theo!

Floors clean and some organizing done. Table is no longer a complete disaster and all my tax stuff together in a plastic envelope.

Server still down at work. Probably will be until Monday.

Compassionately intolerant

I have to either take a nap or get off my backside. Not highly motivated to do either. hmph.

I've slept too long. I'm really groogy (ETA: I was going to fix it to groggy, but groogy seems apt.) and slow. Today is pretty much a write off for anything productive. But I did get my steps shovelled.
