Woops, no--the last thing that made me smile unexpectedly was this set of photos: [link]
How lovely is that?
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
IT IS ADORABLE.
I don't believe that for a second.
I just cracked myself up using my predecessor's DRAFT stamp. I realize it's not that funny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I feel better now after having looked at those pictures, and the wall we were banging our heads on in this project has been resolved.
But mostly my head hurts and I really really want to cry. I'm grateful my plans have me going to the ER tomorrow morning instead of Sunday, but this day at the office will be long even if I don't do my normal here-until-seven thing.

Suela, I think most of the fannish grapevine regarding Crash Bandicoot comes from Tumblr. Are you active there?

Are you active there?
No, I am not. Which explains my ignorance. Tumblr, like FB, is blocked at my workplace, and I don't have time at home to fully explore a new ecosystem. So I have bookmarked a few Tumblrs (Coach Taylor Encourages Your Academics, Fannish Flamingo, Women Warriors), and I follow links once in a while, but that's it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And the recruiter says this morning that the Houston people are not going to make an offer. Despite saying they would make an offer Monday.
Fuck.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Dana, I'm so sorry.
sarameg, insent to your personal addy.

Fuckers!
Really, that's just grossly unprofessional. If you don't have authority to make an offer, don't say you will. If the decision isn't final, don't say you're going to make an offer. How hard is that to understand?
I am a bad daughter: I overruled my dad, and told the med staff to give my mother Haldol this morning. I would like for my dad to have one morning not full of rage and abuse.

Consuela, depends on your definition of what BAD is.
I suspect your mother has reached the point where it's not "drugging her to keep her compliant" but "drugging her so that she's not emotionally wrought." She needs a break from it as much as anyone around her.
