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.

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.

Indeed -- Much luck to Suela!!

Thanks, folks. I sent an email back emphasizing that my primary desire was to find a position in a team environment that values good work.

I'm also going to get drinks with another friend next week, maybe she will have some advice.

There's a really interesting job that opened up, but it's in San Jose and it's rather too senior for me. I would consider applying anyway, except that it's one of the applications that requires a bunch of essays. I don't have the energy for that, not for San Jose.

My saga so far could be epic. I've been typing posts and hitting Read New instead of posting because I just feel like I'm dumping all my shit on you, and there's just a lot of it. My parent's are involved now, so that's a relief of resources and a front for venting. My mum was joking that she'd look after my kitties if I got sent to the slammer. I assume it was an attempt at levity, but at that point, I was all "too soon!" and then that particular hiccup ended up not being a big deal (I was totally hyperventilating when I called her) (and then later I was giving my dad the gallows hug when again it turned out not to be a biggie. But my way of life still hangs in the balance until the 21st, and I want to not get an ulcer over it, but things may not go my way --NJ, you have your priorites fucking WRONG-- and I want to be emotionally prepared for that, too).

Okay, I'll email my attorney tomorrow, since I have recieved emails that make it appear like they have shit together, but they haven't explicitly stated so, and waiting for signed documents in the mail leaves me just a week to scramble together someone else. /tl:dr.

YAY for happy job news!

Man, Rose just threw another screaming fit at bedtime tonight: shrieking, howling, red-faced, wild-eyed, fighting me when I tried to put her PJs on, wouldn't even let me read her our usual bedtime book. Same thing last night, and at least one other night recently. She also apparently had a long crying spell at daycare both yesterday and today after she saw another baby getting fed with a bottle (we have recently cut out bottles in favor of sippy cups, with mixed results).

I think it's partly from being tired at the end of a long day and partly that she's about to sprout some more teeth, and partly having a hard time with the transition to the sippy cups. It just makes me feel so terrible to hear her screaming and screaming, and to have to practically wrestle with her to get her diaper and pajamas on. And then once she was all suited up for bedtime, she didn't even want to read or rock, both of which she usually enjoys (and I do too); she just wanted to be put in her crib, so I didn't get to help calm her down. I kind of feel like she just slammed the door on me and told me to "get out, Get Out, GET OUT!"

xpost: Juliebird, man, I'm sorry this has been such a long and stressful saga. I hope everything goes really smoothly on the 21st!

Aw, poor Rose, and poor you, Kate.

ION, yay rain! We've been so dry, that although it really threw a wrench in the works in terms of things needing doing NOW, and I stayed until six tonight to be ready for tomorrows project (I really didn't want to, it was hot and muggy and I was experiencing swoobs -for those who know what swalls is- and just generally uncomforatable with cramps and the humidity) it was good to have to not have to worry about running around with sprinklers, and we finally got our plant sale ready, which would never have happened without a rainy day that let me work in the greenhouse (also, aphids galore, that I killed dead with soapy dishwater, it was fantastic).

Well, at least there was some good news today.

Juliebird, I'm so sorry. It will get better. And I'm relatively sure they don't throw people without insurance into jail... at least the ones who bother to show up in court when they're supposed to.

Jesse, really, the chance of a good payoff will not lure me in. (More horribly, someone whom JonMon previously sued in a suit with similarly shaky grounds didn't respond and was dinged $6K for JonMon's court costs. See what not showing up in court can cost ya?)

I've known Ron Newman for a number of years and he really is the nicest guy and the least likely person to be the main target of an awful thing like this. (He's the moderator of the davis_square LJ, so his name's on all the legal stuff.)
