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.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ah Jesse, pobrecita. Sounds a bit nightmarish.

Our wings are not tired.
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.

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!!

javachik, I have a couple of friends who are doing the same with a neighbor's house (they're renting) and it's better, but still a PITA.
I'm glad Dan already had a house, or else I am sure I would be renting FOREVER.
Also...OMFG, every time I bend over or twitch, there is a river flowing from my nose. This is unacceptable.
EW EW EW.
DO. NOT. WANT.

It sounds like they are close to hiring the new boss, and counterpart is thinking about giving a lot of notice, so it should be OK, but still.
ARGH! As I suspected might happen, I'm getting kicked out of my office.
Argh!!!
Go, Java! That's exciting.

yeah, SUCK! I understand, I'm not a project manager any more and I don't have people reporting to me now and our space is limited and they are trying to consolidate groups but meh. Right now the person I report to is in a cube so that's a little weird though.
I'm trying not to cry but it sucks. Even though I know it's not a reflection on my work or anything.

Java, I find owning a home less stressful than the housing co-operative I was living in.
I totally want to run away and join the circus. Meanwhile everyone I know (well, THREE people) are going to Paris. I want to go to Paris!!
