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

Awful coworkers for limited time vs. eternal regrets

Unless the coworkers awful extends to poisoning our coffee, I'd say give notice and take the job. If the awfulness does extend to poisoning your coffee, I'd say just drop a note off with the receptionist and run.

ETA: And, of course, take the job.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Congrats, le nubian! I knew they'd see your awesomeness.

Our wings are not tired.

Woot! Congratulations le nubian! Don't look back. Onward to exciting new opportunities.

Art Crawl!!!

Had a pretty productive middle of the day: ran the main errand I had - a three-part adventure involving stopping at Walgreen's for packing tape and sharpies, going to the bagel place for breakfast (and most importantly - coffee), packing my box and a light spot of reading and then to the post office to mail the package. Stopped off to rest and read on the way back and came home where I have been most unproductive for the rest of today.

Did watch two (pretty much the last two) Kentucky Derby preps - both good races.

Congrats on the offer, le nubian. If staying feels like a mistake, it probably is.

I forgot to buy tomato paste today, so the batch of chili currently cooling on my stove was made with about 6 oz. of pasta sauce with garlic & olives instead. I hope it comes out OK.

Bob made a beercan chicken with a Chinese 5 spice blend. He's taking it apart right now and it is falling off the bone tender and so yummy. I also roasted some asparagus and some potato salad with parsley and lemon and capers. Later I'm going to whip some cream to have with almost local (VA) strawberries!

OH! And we have sauteed morels Bob foraged from Druid Hill Park, the big city park adjacent to our neighborhood.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That sounds scrumptious, lisah!

Pix! ow! That all sounds like a terrible horrible no good very bad day. eesh.

I went out to a friend's birthday party, where I managed to convince a gay man to get naked within about 10 minutes of meeting him, so we could take fun photobooth pictures. Then off to dancing.

Today was planned for more dancing (lessons and then big evening dance), but stupid me worked out with the new trainer on Thursday and my quads have been screaming ever since, and I can barely walk, much less dance. Sigh. Also I wore my fun outfit last night and have no idea what to wear tonight.

So I just saw an ad for a FIVE CD set of 90s R&B, called "That's My Jam." Seriously every song looks awesome

That sounds awesome...except for the part right before that where you said something about our generation approaching middle age. I dont' like that part.

I agree with Jesse that Grey's got worse and then got much better (and worse, and better). It's not been as bad as Private Practice was--I actually stopped watching it for some time (and then got sucked back in by a crossover or something). I wasn't thrilled by the first "Scandal" ep, but have the second on TiVo and will give it a chance.

Yay new job le n!
