I am taking a week's vacation when I bring NewDog home, but that's mostly because I really need a week's vacation.
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

With the meetings I'm having, I'm tentatively getting more excited about the job I'll be moving to. I think I'll be able to shape policy and drop the hammer on some stuff. I'll totally be leveling up on the number of bad guy life ruinings!

Trudy, there's been talk of it in Boxed Set, which seems appropriate.
Consuela, as a computer programmer which is often VERY specialized, you'd be surprised how many helpful people are recommending me jobs which have something vaguely to do with computers. Best you can do is smile and say thanks, because the good intent is at least there.
Your poor clients are going to be so screwed, alas.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I have no idea what she said to HR or her boss - this was just an announcement within our project team this morning. I know her wife and she is definitely the more classically "maternal" of the two.
There is so much work on my plate today but I can't touch most of it because I need additional information from people who aren't answering. So flipping frustrating.

Yay for NewDog, Lee!

Pretty much, yeah.
Your poor clients are going to be so screwed, alas.
And not just my clients. I've been working off and on for the last six years to resolve a tricky question involving the proper storage and handling of archaeological material, and it's all gummed up with state law versus federal law versus tribal interests and a great deal of politics. And my state counterpart, whom I was just on the phone with, sounded quite disconsolate at the prospect of having to start from scratch with whomever I dump this on.
I'm disconsolate that it's not going to get solved before I go! All these damned long-term projects...

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Our nurse saga continues. We are entering week 2 of no nurse, which means week 2 of no school for Grace. A temp nurse showed up for today and tomorrow because K flipped out on the nursing agency.
But I realized, I need to create a binder of stuff we just know but a new person into our house doesn't know. So I have printed about 60 pages of documents where I am writing about care routines, equipment, supply companies, doctors, everything.
This is good that I am doing this, because if I die everyone else is screwed on figuring out all the stuff I already know -- like what supplies Grace needs each month. Or what her therapist is working on at OT. Or what her routines for surgery are.
It's nuts that I haven't done this before.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
DON'T DIE, KAT.
That's an order.

kat,
why don't you have a nurse?
