Stephen had a great job interview and is going back for a second, and Sara loved the Friends school where she'll probably go next year (my mom works there). Yay.
YAY
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Once again, my beloved family is blithely feigning ignorance of my actual vacation time. Sigh. Really, it is my parents, who were never good at remembering it while they were still working (they had a lot more leeway,) and in retirement...forget it. I just need to ride the wave of frustration and let.it.go.
I'd like to visit my parents out in NM this summer. It makes sense to pick up the boys en route. HOWEVER. Really, asking the girl with limited leave to burn WHEN YOU ARE FUCKING RETIRED? Be careful about how you pose it. Very careful. Because you know what? Travel day is a day of vacation I burn. You're basically adding another half day. And I don't have retirement funds to let me live comfortably until I'm 110 yet.
Letting.it.go.
Just needed to vent. I love my fam, they just have some blind spots.

Because books.
Making charts out of data sounds really good.
Do you have the interview tomorrow?
::waves at Sox:: I need to email you.

(Oh, and mom neglected to mention some crucial details. Which I can't accommodate. Sorry, SIL, when I sort of agreed to this, I didn't have those details!)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Do you have the interview tomorrow?
Not me, I have had all my scheduled interviews until further notice. Impatiently waiting on my exam results starts this weekend, though, so I have that to look forward to.

Because books.
Oh! Well, good luck with the test results!
Hey, sara, did you go to a Friends school growing up?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
(Not to try to burn additional leave time or anything, but we may be playing Las Cruces in August on our summer tour. So you totally should come see me if the schedule lines up!)

Amy, nope. Unaffiliated preschool. Public school for 13 years. But private school in my part of the world was pretty much Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School or some other dodgy (lacked accreditations) christian schools.
Going to a private quaker college, TONS of folk had gone to quaker schools coming up. I haven't heard of many bad ones, they vary in educational styles, but tend towards rigorous but nurturing. Eastern quakers tend to be much less granola-hippy-weird, and tend to have more highly-regarded schools. I really can't think of any out west, though I am sure they exist. But we have one highly regarded even here in B'more.

Damn, Liese, looks like I'll be there in JUNE.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
What is a Friends school? And lots of interview~ma to Stephen.
Work is no longer nibbling me from the bottom up. It is into full on gobbling. For the last couple of months, my projects have imploded in order, one after the other. This month - they are double (triple) teaming me. I refuse to do more than 12 hours a day though. That is my line in the sand. I think. At least so far.
For now? Whiskey.
