Oh, my. I just got another detail. While the guys had her pinned down waiting for the police she was alternating between pleading to be let go and singing "We Are The World".
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, aurelia! (No, new auto-correct, I did not want to capitalize that!)
Let us not even mention the job in Germany where they asked you to fly yourself out for the interview, and if the interview was successful, you could start the next day, and if you stayed 6 months they would pay half your airfare.
That's just wackadoo!

Wow, that's really quite ridiculous.
I shall make the "need more details" response. It's a position in Portland, and while housing prices are much more reasonable there, it would be a big leap to relocate after 16 years in the Bay Area. Also, the position is in a team that's scattered all over the country, so I'm not convinced that it really needs to be in Portland...

That is hilarious.
I just officially signed my offer letter and sent my acceptance to HR. Done and done. Except I won't be changing over until the end of July.

Congrats, shrift! Go you life-ruiner.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Met with my attorney, court date is pushed off (I almost threw up at the staff meeting anticipating just meeting with the dude today). I still can't believe that this is the most severe driving offense. For not having the money covered in case of getting in an accident, over "I was totally wasted and totally could have killed someone"?! In a way, I'm pissed off at NH for having such lenient insurance requirements (I'm not passing the buck, I just grew up where insurance was only necessary where you were making payments on a car, and was a bit loosey goosey), I just had no idea NJ was so strict, I would totally have paid that bill over keeping my apartment electrified if I'd known. I am a fucktard.
It's the little things: I'm just glad that my penance to the Ralph Jar doesn't include these posts. Fuck Fuck Fuck! If all goes well, $300 to the courts, and I can make payments to the attorney.
I really would have thought the registration would have been the bigger issue, what with terrorists and whose car belongs to whom and whatnot. (I also don't get the penalty for driving without your seatbelt, in a "get your hands off of my life (in a fairly literal sense)" way).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Wait, I think I missed where shrift is ruining lives? Would that be your own, or those of others?

Co-workers will be dominated by shrift's shriftiness.

She's a super hero, the Life Ruiner. I like to imagine her waking up every morning and thinking "today is a good day to ruin some bad guys' lives".
I actually forget the exact context, but it's other people's lives, and they deserve it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Today's been one of those days where I now feel a lot stupider than I thought I was this morning.
