There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Congratulations flea!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I just (like, on my lunch break a couple of hours ago)applied for a couple of permanent positions where I am temping. I doubt I will be negotiating for anything at this point, but I feel pretty good about my chances of getting an offer on one of them, at least.
Hope you can work something out for your leave, flea. Congrats on the offer, even if it is low.
I'm starting inquiries about a Harp loan. I may not have informed the mortgage holder of H's death yet. I hope that doesn't make for big problems.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
"Were You There" is probably my favorite Easter hymn. At church camp, the minister of youth/choir director asked me to sing it a cappella at a specific point in the campfire service. Unexpected, in the starlit dark, after an extremely poignant anecdote. There were people weeping--weeping. Felt powerful, though emotionally manipulative. I can see where that sort of thing would become addictive. I've always been fond of the song, since.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that sounds amazing, Beverly.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
The mystery of the unexpected day off is solved! Which I figured out when I looked at my calendar this morning. Tis the season where me and boss lady start working Saturdays, switching off every month. And she'd asked me to work this coming Saturday in her stead. I was expecting to comp next Monday, and we hadn't discussed this on Friday. But, bless her, she'd decided to comp me this Monday so I wouldn't be working a six day week. I'll only have a one day weekend, but, right now that sounds better than a six day week.
I do kinda wish that I'd known that ahead of time, though. Or that she'd texted me back with the reason why she was excusing me from work (it would've been an AWESOME day to finish the seed order for the veggie garden, jut me and the CHED director, since she also called in a mental health day on Monday -- I worry for mine and her's sanity, as she's going to be seeing her husband less and less this season).

Congrats flea! I hope you can work it out to be awesome. Or at least with it.
And on e off chance west coast time means it hasn't happened yet, -ma to Burrell!
I..don't remember how many days I get. It's PTO, not split. But part of the reason I took this job is my last company decided to change from 23 days PTO to 17.not ok. This company might be 22 or 23...it was more than 17.
