Jen, I'm excited that you're moving to Philly, because that's where we fly in to visit M! Things can Be Arranged!
Proximity: it matters more than you think.
Oh, hells, yeah! When I was working for KY, living in Lawrence, which is less than an hour away from KC, I was utterly miserable. Loved my job, loved my boss, but not having my friends around just made me miserable, exacerbated my depression....I had to quit and move back. No coincidence less than a month after I moved back, I was in the hospital.
(OK, I was working for KU but the typo was way too funny to edit.)
ION, D's company's system has not processed anyone's paychecks - snafu in tech processing -- and none are hitting direct deposit.
You wanna see furious chaos? Have this happen at an IT company who works with FINANCIAL COMPUTER SECURITY FOR THE GOVERNMENT. Apparently, it's frickin' a bloodbath over there tight now...

!!! Awesome. So much awesome!

Holy shit, and I can imagine. That's just... do not mess with people's money, man.
Yeah...I know they're working on it and people are frothing in rage (rightly so).
I mean, shit happens, but at an IT company? Financial IT?! I'm worried, but I also see the delicious, hilarious irony in this.
Gah, smonster, I'm so sorry. Everyone here is saying very wise things about letting go and not dwelling on unproductive thoughts, but to be honest I kind of just want to go over to his house and thwap him with a major cluestick. I know, I know, not helping. I just really wish things had worked out differently for you.
Jilli, check your inbox in about five minutes and you'll have that cover of "Common People" by MCR.
The who with the what now? And how might I acquire this?
Being friends is hard!
It very much is. Both making new friends and holding onto/keeping up with old ones. Right now I'm feeling kind of distant from a very good friend, and it makes me sad. I'm hoping to see her over Thanksgiving, which will help, but I worry that having a baby is only going to put more distance between us. She lives in Boston and I used to see her all the time; while I was in grad school, I'd stay with her and her husband (also one of my oldest friends) once a week while I was taking classes in the city. That really deepened our friendship, but it seems that since I moved to Nashville, it's been harder for us to stay in touch and the friendship has suffered. I really want to fix that.
And how might I acquire this?
Most likely it'll be in your inbox within the next few minutes.
smonster...I miss youuuuuuu
I miss you, too, bebe. It's hard.
I got paid today, which means I start the envelope system today!!
Thanks, Hec! *puts on headphones*
finding things to furnish with but being judicious about acquiring too much.
You must come to shop in my basement. That is all.
Erin, next time you're in town, shout.
I will; I haven't been able to come to Philly area yet with D, because of finances.
But when we can, I will definitely let y'all know.

Ooh, I love that plan! And according to javachick, I need to ask for your hair stylist's name, too.
But when we can, I will definitely let y'all know.
So fun.
