Is this the job you thought you didn't get, or something different?
It's a different job, but with the same team and same company. They really liked me and wanted to hire me. Yay!
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Apparently one of the guys in Marketing got asked to take down a cartoon that said, among other things, "I'm confused and I don't know which of you to kill first."
God, workplaces are so sensitive.
Looks at New Yorker cartoon with the line "Must you answer every question with a death threat?" and wonders if he should take it down.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
First I did some paperwork. Then I got so desperate to escape paperwork that I went to the store and bought desperately needed Coke Zero, and some strawberries. Now I will cut up the strawberries, still escaping paperwork.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm still under doctor's orders not to drive, so I am working from home, except there's hardly been any work I can do from home, and now I want to drive to the store and buy strawberries, and I can't.

Hi ita's sister! We lurkers support you! (although not in e-mail - you've had enough random, unwanted messages).
So ... is this the college that O'Keefe guy studied at?
And
I got thrown out of the same bar for lighting stuff on fire.
I love this. We just have to keep her away from Jilli and Cass. Or get a bulk rate on fire extinguishers.

I'm trying to do a quick self-eval. Ugh. I think this is one of those quarters where a 500% increase in productivity in one area isn't going to compensate for the things I didn't get done.

Hmm. Hardly anyone's here and there's a con in Walnut Creek I'm registered for. I wonder how long I need to stick around before I can slip out...
