Returned from Boston last night, with whiny, sleepy baby. (She did OK on the flights -- didn't seem to have any ear pain that I could tell -- but man, she was Not Happy to be in her car seat for so long.) Great trip, too short, I want to move back to Massachusetts NOW. Sigh. Also, Rose is in another stranger-fear phase, with bonus clinginess (to me in particular), and it was a bummer that she wouldn't really let my parents hold her. I hope she's over it by June, when they'll be down here for a week with her while M and I are in England...
And I have a bunch of stuff to do at work today -- like, has to be finished in four hours -- and zero motivation. I want a new job. Back home in Massachusetts.
Aw, Consuela, I know that's hard but it's making me kind of happy that you have had people like that to work with! They aren't all nemeses.
Sorry about the low salary on the nice job, msbelle. Hoping for some good news from the internal options.
If I get my Harp refi, I might be able to cut expenses enough that I could live on my temp wages (I'm still dipping into my savings to cover my mortgage every month) but thinking about losing my little luxuries is a downer. Oh well, if it must be done it will be. I don't think I could arrange my life or house to accomodate a roommate any time soon...
I've used Aramat as a pseud fairly often. I like the way it sounds, though many of my dormmates insisted on pronouncing it with another "r" thrown in there for no reason.
For the baseball enthusiasts among us: [link] (Am I the only person who loves Mr. Wrong? Possibly.)
We are having our refi in 30 minutes! We'll be paying almost $400.00 less per month. Which is VERY welcome since I ain't got no job.
Acceber which I would insist on pronouncing Akbar and then I would have to marry someone named Jeff.
Much ~ma to you, Consuela.
And msbelle, I'm glad the interview went well but I'm sorry to hear about the pay.
As to the name game, board name I'd be Llerrub, which looks like the sound Smaug makes when he belches. Not attractive. But Haron sounds pretty good to me.
I know a Jeff! Cute, middle aged writing prof type, perfect for you.... Oh wait, lives in the wrong state.
I was just discussing how I would be open to a marriage solely for financial reasons, if anyone would benefit on taxes by being married and having a child.
They could pay me a monthly stipend and pocket the rest of the financial gain.
My full name would be the completely unmanageable Enileuqcaj, and my nicks would be Zaj and ZJ, also bad.
Damn, msbelle, that is so much too bad, but I'm happy that at least you met with a group you like that likes you back, so at least there's that confirmation that such employers do exist, locally even, and that your current bosses are indeed made of ass.

I used to joke with a co-worker about fake having a baby so I could take the year mat leave.
