You guys, I'm already mentally exhausted and it's only Monday.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

I spoke with the recruiter for the position that sounds awesome. Well, the actual work sounds awesome, and she confirmed they'd be able to pay me more, but they have weird complex medical insurance that's expensive (apparently the actual insurance has a $5K deductible, but they have this OTHER insurance that covers that? Or something?) AND I'd be going back to the "six less vacation days than I'm used to" thing (even though it's a different company). I'm not sure I'm OK with that. Except the project I've been put on at my newcurrent company is MAKING ME CRAZY. But then again, most projects would, at the beginning...(WHY, why do companies keep advertising for Seattle CRAs when really they want someone in SF or LA?)

That's awesome, Cash.
My friend Kevin just won a BAFTA award for animated game design (Shogun II). I wonder if he needs an intern?

Six extra PTO days at current job? I don't think that hits the mental health break even line compared to something potentially awesome.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I spent most of 2011 begging for work and picking up a lot of ad hoc research projects and such. But my workload from month to month, shoot - week to week, was never set.
So far this year, I have had my name tossed around by a bunch of high level folks and I have more work than I can handle right now. Ok, I can handle it, but the set-up process for some of these projects is pretty significant, while the monthly work will be more manageable. I hate saying no to new work, but for now, I've got what looks to be a good, steady, challenging workload.
My end of year review better take all this stuff into account. Geesh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Allyson! If the job turns out to be a good fit, I hope you get it.
I got the three things I promised to get out the door today out the door at about 5:15. Close enough? Now I'm going to do stupid freelance work. I SWEAR I AM.
