Oh, and in a post with no whining: CONGRATS, -t!

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

Because books.
ita, good lord. I don't understand why you're being expected to do your old *and* your new job. That's absurd. And does this mean you do have to be awake in the wee hours for the deployment, because that doesn't seem fair at all.

I hope it blows over, ita, and those ita-will-do-it-she-can-do-anything expectations won't rear their heads again. Or not too often, at least. Jeesh.

Congratulations, -t! Brava on the new job!
I haven't yet begun to relax enough to think about the job situation much. Although I do have one firm who wants to know if I'm willing to go back to work for my just-former employer in Miami, DC, or Seattle for two years. And another one who wants to know if I'd be willing to go to the UK to work on a high-speed rail project for a couple of months at a time for the next year or two.
Neither of those are hard offers, but they're both encouraging. Although frankly the UK sounds far more appealing than DC, I must admit...

ita, that situation is fucked up.
Consuela, glad you have some solid bites.
My cats are sleepy piles of cuddles. I approve.
Waiting to see what stormin' we get.

Dude, high-speed rail in the UK would be GREAT for me to vicariously live through. Assuming that's a consideration.

Congrats -t!!! May the pee test go smoothly.
Consuela, may the opportunities firm up to be something you want.
ita !, they need to chill out and bask in the awesomeness that is you.
My dad is in town, so CJ and I met up with him and had a great dinner at a hole in the wall Cuban place. Mmmmm, Paella. It was a very plesant visit. He will be back in September for a longer visit.

Congratulations, ~t!
Glad to hear the job search is going well, Consuela. I hope you get a chance to rest this week. As others have said, I definitely needed down time after that kind of loss.
