Consuela, you definitely are playing the right cards for working your way into another job. I bow in your direction.
Thanks, ita ! I dunno; when I was younger, I would never have consciously have done the networking thing, I was wayyy too insecure. Now I'm like, "Dude: that place you worked gave you a bunch of people who know you're good, and who all left to go off to different places. Use the connections!" Because I'm totally happy to be someone else's connection, if I can think of anything.
It helps to have a diaspora: my last private-sector job was with a bunch of very competent, mostly very nice people, and then the place fell apart when the VP left to start his own firm. Shortly thereafter about a dozen of us left in quick succession. It's that diaspora that is the basis of my networking efforts. It's been wickedly helpful, I must admit.
hope things get better Kat.
I know that Hec, but it's still like calling bread "dough."
Yeah, I wonder how that came about etymologically.
Jeez, it's 82F in my house right now. I still have flannel sheets on my bed and the cover on the swamp cooler! So unprepared.
Apparently when you date a 24 year old you go to karaoke until 1am on a Wednesday night. Since im more a night owl, I had a great time and am not that tired...but tomorrow morning is going to suck. Not as much as it will for her though--she works at Starbucks and has to be there at 430AM.
Sepinwall and Fienberg hated the Da Vinci show. The pilot they claimed was especially poor. So if you watch the show, skip the pilot at the very least. Their description of it makes the show sound like ass, so watchers beware.
I thought it grew on trees. I'm sure I saw a documentary to that effect.

Monday night I was using the heated mattress pad, and last night it was 79 in the house and I was sprawled out on the bed in front of a fan, wondering how much shame I would bring upon the House of Teppy if I turned the a/c on. I did not turn it on, because it was only April 10, damn it. Plus tomorrow is supposed to be a high of 54, whereupon I will be cranking the heated mattress pad back up to BROIL and praising our furnace. Oh, April, stop fucking with my sinuses.
I do hope it gets better, Kat.
Was up until 2 a.m. making Minecraft cakes for Owen's class today. I don't know why I do it to myself but I do. And will continue to do.
Snow is headed this way. Not as much as Denver and South Dakota got but I'm not relishing this last taste of Winter.
Owen is 9 today. Crazy how fast this is going.
