50 minutes later, and barring any last minute stupidity between now and Friday, this girl has a new cheaper mortgage for the next 26 years! I'm saving almost $120 a month & I may be getting a check, too (depends on whether the semi-annual taxes were already paid out of escrow or not, bill is issued July 1, it might have been processed already.) If so, I guess I should do the responsible thing and put that towards principle?

lisah, thanks for the title rec. They were great about explaining everything.

Now to figure out what to do with the rest of my day off. It is brutal out there today.

eta: I guess I ate all potential monday good, sorry!

Go team refi! We ended up saving $200/month, and got back close to $1,000 because of taxes already being paid, etc.

We should put it back towards principle, but we also need to buy wedding rings. So, a little torn.

Go you, yay!

Tax payment was scheduled to be on the 13th, but hasn't shown up as paid yet online, so we'll see.

Woo, you guys!

I just got my review from my boss and it is...not great. It is not terrible, either, and I am actually surprised at how highly I rated myself! Ugh.

Congrats, sara!

I sent my boss a note about taking a week+ off at the end of the month and his response was "Well deserved, have fun". So nice!!!

am paying bills at work. Normally would not be so thrilled at that, but I am getting papers off my desk and that is good, both for my headspace and for the fact that angry boss is a bit ocd about cleared off desks, so this should bode well if he is in the office tomorrow.

Back in the high lifeoffice again.

And my email is locked because I got the password wrong on my phone at the start of my PTO. So I can't turn off the out of office message. Which was wrong even before I took Friday off (I will return Friday the 11th? Good job, sickie.)

I've been welcomed back with crunchy seaweed with pizza cheese flakes. I am assuming that's glycemia compliant.

"Compliant" and "complaint" being so close messes me up a lot.

Progressives tend to give people a lot of benefit of the doubt - deserved or not. LW has its own fringe element, and folks who are too precious, but they tend to be marginalized here and there.

Yeah, it's not as if the Left doesn't have its fair share of nutjobs. It's just that ours are usually busy chaining themselves to trees and ramming whaling boats rather than running for political office or stocking armories for their survivalist compounds. The Right seems far fonder of electing their crazies for everyone to see rather than hiding them in the attic.

Pumpkin thinks I should celebrate by petting her all the time. Alrighty then!

I'm trying to button up everything that needs buttoning on my old job so I can start cramming for my new job that I officially start in two weeks.
