Anya ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
isn't saying that somebody "lost their battle with life" an odd way of putting it?
I was thinking it could be a proofing error -- like "lost her life" was incompletely changed to "lost her battle with [something]." But I just found the piece and the whole thing reads like it was run through Babelfish a few times so... I think the problem is deeper than that.
Emmett's coming to SF via BART/Muni today solo for the first time.
This is awesome! I hope he handles it well enough to take some of the transportation burden off of you.
Damn it, buying a house is really really complicated.
Tell me in the end it will be worth it. Please?
Javachik, you're buying? Well, now is definitely the time. And I love having my own yard, and being able to paint my walls any color I like.
But yeah, it's a horrific hassle to do it.

You know home ownership is a hassle and is expensive sometimes but I am truly glad I bought my house. I love that it is mine (ours now). Being mine meant I could (pay someone to) do this to it, for example:
ARGH. My counterpart is giving notice tomorrow. We still have no boss. I might die. There is no way I can deal with her workload -- not that I'm so busy (although I should be), but it's a whole different set of people and relationships and bullshit, and I just caaaaan't.
Ah Jesse, pobrecita. Sounds a bit nightmarish.
Consuela, I am trying to buy directly from landlady as she'd like to sell before Feb of next year to avoid capital gains taxes. She's being awesome and I think I may be able to swing this.
And, Lisa, SO COOL.
ARGH! As I suspected might happen, I'm getting kicked out of my office.
FUCK
grr
I know I've been lucky to have it but grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh, that's great! Good luck!
Boo being kicked out of office! Does that mean a cube, lisa??
Jesse, that sounds like a lot of work coming your way--are they trying to hire a new boss, or is it floundering?
java, it's a bit of a pain (especially when, say, the bank takes your downpayment out TWICE), but hopefully not too much of one!!
