We will not be moving to Switzerland, he'll be working at home, I think. He will make several trips to Geneva during the year, so I'll join him for one, at least.
Oh, that sounds kind of best-of-both-worlds!
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sparky, I think you should eat some Swiss chocolate to celebrate! Raclette ... you'll probably have to wait to enjoy it. I had some (in the U.S.) and remember it as yummy but a bit smelly.

Though I don't envy your family the logistical nightmare.
This will be easy compared to the last job, I think. No more 8 week trips!

Because books.
Geneva! That's very cool.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Congrats and raclette, Sparky! Glad it's going to be easier than the last job. Eight-week separations with a toddler are brutal.
If we can't have a Buffista Island, maybe we could start with an attractively priced pirate ship?
HELLS YES PLEASE PLEASE?
Also, Hec, I don't think we dare show those pictures to Matilda, who yearns for a pet squirrel. Her heart will break to bits with envy and longing (unless I have already shattered it with my inept hair-fixing technique).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yay, Geneva! I am envious of foreign jobs. Which is more than silly, but there you go. Foreign jobs you don't have to move for--even better!
My work laptop is being weird. Starting Windows was taking so long I fired up Task Manager and started Opera, and that's all I have. No task bar, no email, no desktop. Just a brand new Opera session.
I guess it's time for reboot. And not just the random blue screen kind.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
The whispering thing gives me the same feeling as nails on a chalk board, swinging too high on a swing, and pencil wood scraping the paper. Just a weird nauseseated shudder that I can feel in my belly as well.

So...sort of like a Chromebook.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

It sounds like a win all-around then! Fantastic!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hooray for the job in Geneva! That you don't have to move for!
Aw, baby squirrel got a good home.
