All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Birthday happies to megan walker, Cashmere, Matt, and ita's dad!

I hate folding laundry anyway -- I'd MUCH rather clean the toilet

I would happily fold laundry in return for having someone else clean the bathroom.

The show I'm working on is running at least 20 minutes longer than it should. It's too bad I would be overstepping to tell them "Louder, faster, funnier".

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

BOOZE AND FISH TACOS.

I am so incredibly jealous of your future. Mmmm, booze and fish tacos.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He did say "But I'm not wishing them happy birthday."

"Cashmere, megan walker, and matt." . "Cashmere?"

I explain nyms to him have the question posed of why I don't have @ Buffista nym. I think he gets that now and why I do have an LJ one.

And then he sent his birthday wishes.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. Your dad is cute. (Eta: dignified and well respected, sure, but also cute.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Man, I'm too late to wish happy to all the birthday people! I'll wish each of you a wonderful year--and that includes ita's dad.

I share my name with no one, neither maiden nor married. I R Un-i-que.

Love your dad.

Have been up since 4:45 am, am caffienated, and almost ready for pants and Le Garage Org.

Wish me money!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Much money to you, Erin! May you have the same luck I had at my garage sale and have someone come up to you and say "I will take ALL THE THINGS" and give you a lot of cash for the privilege of making the things go away.

Dude, I would have a garagesalegasm if that happened!

You would all feel the seismic tremors where ever you are.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Happy belated birthday to the 10/13 people. Must be an auspicious day.

Happy garage sale-ing, Erin!

I had my yearly performance review yesterday. Unlike the 6 month one, it went really well and my soon-to-be-ex manager told me I was awesome. And that she had no idea how or if that would affect my future in the department. (We're in mid-reorganization.) As Giles would say, it's ok. I . . . I have more scotch. Eh, I'm still pretty sure that, should I survive the reorg, I'll be moved away from the crazier people, so it'll probably work out well. We should find out next week.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Good luck, Calli!

I'm still waiting on budget decisions that my manager has no control over. He's requested that my contract be extended, and I suspect he usually gets what he wants, but whether they will find the money to do it with....

Am trying to be zen about it. If my contract ends, I qualify for Unemployment again, at least, so immediate financial ruin is put off for a bit more....
