Brava, Vortex!!
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Yay, Vortex!
I'm working for a non-profit, which means that salaries aren't all that, but the bennies are good. When my parents were dying I saved up my vacation days in case I needed extended time off to care for them, and never really got back into the habit of mental health days. Too much unused leave gets turned into sick leave at the end of the year. And I'm lucky enough to be relatively healthy, so I haven't used much sick leave. So now I have about three months of sick leave and four weeks of vacation available. I hope I'm never unwell enough to need the former, but if I am it'll be good to have.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Congrats, Vortex!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
But the two episodes of Lucky Louis I saw were easily laugh out loud
Really? I tried to watch it back when it aired and found it not amusing at all, nigh on unwatchable. But I love his current FX show.

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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Congratulations, Vortex!
We need to figure out a way to do the wave in here.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Great news, Vortex!
I am in a small nonprofit, and I'm paid OK (not great, but whatevs), and get health insurance paid for. We also only have 2 weeks of vacation (plus 5 days sick) but we get 2 weeks off at Christmas as well as a nice Mardi Gras and Thanksgiving break. Tom gets paid well, but has three weeks general PTO that is used for vacation, sick, bereavement, etc. I think it's awful, but the worst part is, that he negotiated that when accepting the job, and everyone else in the company has only TWO WEEKS PTO total per year. (except, I imagine, the executives)

Congrats, Vortex!
Can I ask for a few crossed fingers today? My conference is today, and I just want it to go well.
