I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I am pro-terrier. John Bates is adorable.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

It's okay to have Oreos for dinner, right? Especially if I have peanut butter ones, because they have protein.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Absolutely. Especially when you're trying to pack -- you certainly don't need to be making dishes or leftovers.

Mmm, peanut butter Oreos. I did not know this was a thing.

... ION about me & my job situation, turns out I might have dodged a bullet. Looks like the team that I was looking to get hired into is completely disfunctional, they are in "failure mode" despite having more staff than any other similar team in the organization, and yet the team leader is refusing to ask for help or distribute his work outside the team. People are beginning to wonder why.

Now off for drinks with another ex-coworker! I am a networking FIEND.

I'm generally an Oreo traditionalist, but these are gooood.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

C is for cookie, that's good enough for me...I didn't know peanut butter Oreos were a thing, either, but they sound like an excellent idea.

Go Consuela, mad networker that networks at midnight!

What was I thinking? Of course the Count is my favorite Sesame Street muppet. But it's a close race.

Consuela, I am confident you will end up -- quickly -- in a situation that is way better than what you're leaving.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I submitted an application for Fella.

eeeeee

I guess I should call someone about putting in a dog door.

Our wings are not tired.

Lee, I use this service a lot and really like them.

I've hired them to put in my dog door, install my new oven/stove (their licensed plumber did the electric-gas conversion, too), change out my old faucets in kitchen and bathroom, and all kinds of stuff. It's not super cheap (I think $110/hr) but they're efficient, nice, and I like that I can have a whole bunch of different kinds of things done in the same visit.
