Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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?

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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!!!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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.

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

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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

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

My new boss and my old manager had a meeting about my transition last week. I don't know if that was supposed to indicate it's been done badly or what. But old manager has been worse than terse. She's had a lot on her plate since coming back from PTO, but I do feel like I've been disappeared from there--other people talk to me still, but there's a void there--I can't even draw her out on conference calls.
