And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Good luck Tom & Jesse!

Uh oh. A Chorus Line earworm.

It took a while to ramp up, but my brain is now belting "I've got to get this jooooooooooooooob!" at full blast, so thanks for that.

hwæt

Interview went very well. It sounds like they’re eager to hire me, and it looks like I’ll be able to contribute there. I’ll have to go back for one final interview next week, though. I’ll be making less than I was, but unless they come back with an insultingly low offer, I’m going to take it. Even better, since it’s a government job, things move slowly, so I’ll have a few more weeks before I start.

in a building that doesn't take students at all

In Harvard Square? Awesome!!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, that sounds very promising, Tom!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Get ready for everything to move extra slow! It takes 15 minutes to boot my government laptop!

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

Glad to hear it, Tom!

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

Yay, Tom!

Heh. I had one of those at my last job. You have never seen someone so happy when her computer died.

It's OK if I sit here on my ass some more, right? Maybe take a nap? I feel like my last two weekends have been non-stop Doing, and I still need the rest!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yay Tom! And sending good luck vibes to Jesse as well.

I have to do a massive fix-up of the back of the house before we leave for vacay. The cat DESTROYED the one remaining carpet in the house so we need to take it out before we leave.

Yay, Tom, and apartment-getting good luck for Jesse.

In randon news, I keep accidentally hitting "block" on this screen, and it is very distressing!
