Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

This morning I get an email from hr saying that I am to start a 6 month detail in that lab starting Monday the 13th. Ok then.

Wow, that is fast! I hope it works well for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

YAY AMY!!

Good luck with that, Sheryl...

Someone in my building put notes at all the doors basically saying we should tell the zoning committee that we don't want "another fast food chain" in the neighborhood. The thing that's funny to me? We don't have any of the typical national fast food chains at all here! OK, there's Chipotle. And a ton of burgers and other burritos and stuff, but no McD, BK, Wendy's, KFC, whatever.

Jesse, if you check the Davis Square LJ, there's been new developments, such as a bunch of letters sent out by JonMon telling posters they won't get named in the John Doe section of his lawsuit. I'm... almost... sorry that I'm not included so far, but honestly with the unemployment and consequent financial situation, I don't want to borrow trouble.

It's all so crazy! (Maybe you could get him to name you in the suit and then counter-sue for the big bucks??)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay, Amy! And Sheryl, I think? It sounds like a good thing, if faster than expected.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Amy, that's awesome! I'm so thrilled for you guys!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

AMY!!!! That's so excellent. What a Wednesday!

So far today I've gotten a rush education in jQuery and JSON and Freemarker templates, grabbed a book on responsive design and one called Mobile First, signed up for a new HTML/CSS online course, requested the keys to our corporate course credentials, and realised I need to learn to use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

I think now's as good a time as any to go home and pour that earwax dissolver in and think in pictures instead of commands.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Powerful job~ma to Consuela. And Congrats to Stephen, Sara, other friend, Sheryl, and anyone else who had a great day.

Today was another 11 hour day, but I was better about taking breaks and it was less stress. No punching or kicking today. I might even redo my manicure - it is a mess right now. Or I might go to bed at 8pm.

Because books.

Thanks, everyone! We may also have a lease to sign on Monday -- Stephen looked at it today and it looks good to him, so.

Exciting stuff. For you, too, Sheryl! That's quite the phone call to get.

Congrats Amy and Sheryl.

'Suela, good luck. I hope this is only momentary anxiety and the job is yours.
