This is the part where I pop my head up and suggest nasal saline a couple times a day. Because it helps flush the nasty pollens out so there's less irritation.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Playas gona pollinate.
HA!
Are there reasons to take it now that there weren't in 2009?
At the time I had a 1/2 time regular gig that gave me relatively solid financial footing for the freelance design career and a summer gig that I've been doing for ages, both of which I would've had to quit. A month or two after not applying for the full time job, the theatre with my 1/2 time job folded. And a few months ago I decided to quit the summer job. Those weren't the only factors, but they are a big part of the financial picture.

This. I'm seriously considering having the local trees spayed and neutered.
Or investing in a diving helmet. Still, this year is about 100x better than last year. When I can remember to get my antihistamine where it belongs, and not in my eyes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why did you quit the Summer gig?

Ooh, that sounds pretty exciting then, aurelia! And if you've got a guy on the inside rooting for you, bonus!
I'm fighting with my gym, because I signed up for personal trainer sessions, and then they changed companies, and now it's all a mess. I was paying one price, but now they charge a different one, and no one can figure out how to convert...ugh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Somebody needs to invent a roto-rooter for sinuses.
Afrin.
My niece had something done to her sinuses and it changed the pitch of her voice. Didn't stop her from singing in her death metal band, but I'm not sure "singing" was an actual requirement anyway.
aurelia, sounds like the timing is just right! Carpe whatever-"job"-is-in-Latin.
meara, good luck with the gym. My gym is nothing more than a pit I throw money into. I should just cancel it.

Why did you quit the Summer gig?
Oh, how to answer that? Short answer... I quit on principle due to administrative changes. Vague enough? The long answer is dramatic and probably more than you want to hear. Would you believe I was there for 17 summers?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I have a Beastie Boys rant. I AM VERY ANGRY.
I should go calm down.

Right. I need to get back to doing that. Because I suppose burning down the giant rhododendron bush that's right outside our bedroom window is overkill, isn't it?
