Matilda's Rainbow would be a lovely title.
Oh Consuela, that is so crazy making. I'm afraid my reaction would entirely unhelpful.
It's a very pleasant sunny 40deg day. Why do I have to spend it in a well equipped cave?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
But if it's an interview, I'd probably wear a suit anyway.
That's what I was thinking. I will go with that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Jessica, how about this?

Tom, can you tell them to drive up to 57th St? I would also like a grilled cheese for lunch.
Tell them to come by my house.

I have an interview tomorrow that I'm supposed to dress in "business casual attire" for. What does that mean? That phrase has never applied to my life before.
Nice slacks/skirt, nice top, and a jacket or sweater that goes with but is not the same fabric as the slacks/skirt. It's how I dress most of the time for work: my office is really very casual.

Today is our holiday party. I'm not enthusiastic about it, since I have no idea whether I'll still be here in two months, but I'm making the effort. I made chocolate-chip cookies for the White Elephant game, and just bought a Starbucks card to sweeten the pot.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Jessica, how about this?
Tempting, if it weren't for the 7 blocks crosstown!

I can put something pretty good along those lines together, thanks, Consuela!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
For a "business casual" interview, I'd probably wear a non-matching jacket and skirt (or actually, I'd wear this one jacket over that one dress, if the weather were good enough, but that's my closet), but you people should know by now I love to dress up for an interview!
I just emailed my cousin to let her know she's the secondary beneficiary on a life insurance policy I just bought. It was the weirdest thing, trying to figure out who to put after my mother! Hashtag single/no kids problems.

Now that my nephew is over 18 I've started making him the beneficiary of my life insurance. Not that it's a lot of money, but I figure he could use it. My funeral expenses are all pre-paid, so no one needs it for that.
The job is with an inventory taking service, so I'm thinking a skirt may go too far from looking like I'm okay with crawling around store rooms counting things (which I am, I kind of enjoy that sort of thing). For future reference, a jacket over a dress is more casual than a suit, I guess?
