Okay, today is ridic quiet in the office because half my row is working from home. So I will commit to finishing the test cases before taking a lunch that's not eaten at my desk. Both of these things are good for me, and also each serves to limit bugs.

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

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I thank profusely on behalf of everyone who got to enjoy the apple cake. I have green tea and honey, not even close.
I am, apparently, a lighting rod for squirrel-related 911 calls and they crack me up every. single. time. Even when I know that some poor soul is gonna end up in the hospital getting a brutal round of rabies shots...i still giggle that they thought it would be a good idea to try and feed a wild squirrel in the park to impress a friend. Seriously, don't these people know about all the squirrels in Portland dive bombing cars and assaulting others with mustard?!?!?! (disclaimer: no squirrels have actually assaulted anyone with mustard as far as I know, it was just a juxtaposition of unrelated calls that generated very interesting images in my sick, twisted, squirrel-inclined brain.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think I'm crazy. I'm inquiring about a full time marketing & communications position for a local non-profit here in town. I know the executive director loves me but I'm not sure if I'm totally qualified for the position.
I just sent her an email.

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
Cash, you're not crazy. Truly. You never know until you try. What they consider qualified might be different than what you consider qualified.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Maria is totally right. Job hunting is crazy (she says with an ironic laugh).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm concerned. This may not turn out well, considering the current makeup of the Court.

Lawyer roommate linked me to scotus blog, which says basically they left themselves the opportunity to not really rule--they could let California stand where the appeals court had it (yay), but rule that people don't have the standing? Or something. So, left themselves an out. But still hopeful yet scared.
