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!

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.

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....

Hee. Adorable.

A belated happy birthday to the birthday people!

I am on the warpath with the company holding my dependent care account $$ hostage. They just sent me an email that my check should be here in 10-15 days, but since I sent the paperwork in August and they claim to process things within 7 days, I am not impressed.

Would you like to get on the warpath with IBM Dublin, which still has not sent us $1500 reimbursing mr. flea from our trip for his interview June 1? Yes, that is FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS AGO. mr. flea is not very good at getting his warpath on.
