Weekend plans: writing, gathering supplies and making Bags of Mystery and ElderGoth Nostalgia bags for the upcoming Time Traveler's Rummage Sale, and maybe going to the new spa that opened up by my house.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My plans a) finish my Coursera homework b) get home in time for the pharmacy delivery *and* pick something up from the pharmacy...I sense a departure in the offing... c) draw.
That's all.
A recently bearded co-worker came to my desk and I trufax shrieked. Not my noblest hour. HAIR INVASION.
So my job is changing next week to report to the new director, but I will still maintain my "unique" relationship with my current primary business unit and still handle all their requests. But I won't have to deal with developers. Which I'm taking as official endorsement to avoid the incompetent one.

Whoa, thanks Jessica, those cheddar olives look amazing!

I have no idea what anyone said since the egg topic started.
I had to stop reading because all those eggs were putting me off the idea of lunch. You know what sounds good about cheddar olives? They aren't eggs.

I'd say that's clearly the intent.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So, I was told today that the company wants to move forward with hiring me as a Business Analyst. I still need to finish out my however many hours as a temp that Office Team requires for conversion-to-permanent-witout-penalty, my manager thought that'll happen June 5th, and then HR can start running the background check and apparently there's some kind of blood work involved (I assume it's a drug test and not, like, magic, but we shall see) and that all usually takes a week or so, and then I will be a permanent employee! For the first time in my life, salaried even, I believe.
And then I will almost immediately go on vacation, but I told her the dates (and I am taking the whole week) and she said it's fine although there's a good chance it will be unpaid time off, which is what I was expecting.
And somewhere in there I will find out about compensation and benefits because, yeah, I never asked about any of that.
This has been a really weird six months, employment-wise.

Thanks! I don't think I've really taken it in properly.
