I was worried about my boss, who I knew was around 60 years old. She'd been with the company forever, but I didn't know if she had yet qualified for retirement under the Rule of 90 (age + years with company). Turns out she does (60 y.o + 39 with the company--she started when she was 21!). So that's good for her.

oh man Kathy, scary.
I just had the first kinda stressy interaction with the new boss. She came in and started in on a project that I thought was a later on something we would get done and she is all, I want this done today! But with no real plan of how it will be used or why it needs to be done today or any question about what else I was already in the middle of. ugh.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Emmett!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Good lord, Kathy! How very exciting in-the-not-good-kind-of-exciting way. I'm so glad you still have a job.
Ugh, msbelle. I hate that. Respect other people's time and schedules.
In really good news, DH's full body scan came back, and NO CANCER IN THE MAJOR ORGANS! I'll take it.
And I wanted to say thank you again for last week. You picked me up again when I was low, and I appreciate it, even if I don't always say so in a timely fashion.
lisah, thank you so much. It's really nice to know that my reactions are not out of the ordinary. You have been more of a help already than you probably know.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

WOOT!
Scary, Kathy! I'm glad your job is safe though

And happy birthday, Emmett!
Happy belated birthday to smonster, and anyone else I missed. I keep forgetting that the wishes aren't telepathically inserted into the birthday person's head.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, Maria, that's great news.

He's not out of the woods yet, because melanoma is stubborn and oftentime recurring. He'll still have to go through nasty treatments, but the prognosis at Stage IIIA is much better than Stage IV.
He's taking the next week or two to weigh his options, and then go from there. It looks like he's going to stick with Hopkins.
