I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

So the poor lady (who shrieks with laughter every time I come in the door, and has a special ita ! kit put aside for me) still has to wrestle with my vascular system.

Which phlebotomist? Because the only one who can draw from Grace is really really really good. The only one there who can get blood from her. Otherwise, we have to go to the pediatric procedures unit, where kids get chemo, because those nurses can get blood from Grace when the phlebotomists can't. But only Dr. I can get them to take us.

Holy crap. So I'm going to fly to Portland for Thanksgiving to see T&G, and it looks like I'm going to pay more for that ticket than I did for the one to France. Urgh.

I'm not good with the planning ahead, clearly.

Yikes! Though aren't fares jacked up around holidays? It's not you, it's them.

Oh yeah, definitely, though I think I would have done better if I had decided to do this a couple of months ago.

Which reminds me, I should maybe buy my Christmas tickets now, too. Everything is sneaking up on me!

A craigslist job listing requests references, but the company doesn't even identify itself. Am I wrong in deciding not to send the references blindly? I don't want my people exposed randomly like that. Paranoid?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, there's a reason the phrase "references available on request" was invented.

Thanks, le nube!

Thank you for the external validation, amych and LeN. It's an otherwise reasonable ad, and I imagine they just didn't think it through, but... so, yeah, thanks.
