The only caveat is that it's a startup. So I'm going with it as long as it lasts. It also gives me great new skills and experience for my resume. Meanwhile my power cord has crapped out so I'm my Kindle which has no comma in the keyboard. Ugh.

Europe! That's fantastic Scrappy!

Sumi, that better do, because I gave it to her. I can't listen to it at work.

Hec, never having socialised with them, how was I supposed to know? IO9's scope doesn't actually cover "my lesbian lover's plastic surgery, a tale in three parts". Hell, it takes a bit of time to tell that Charlie Jane Anders is (Charlie Jane) and not Charlie (Jane Anders), and that Cyriaque is a bloke.

Scrappy, that's really great.

Hahaha, just when the Oxford comma is all yours, none to be found.

Awesome, Scrappy! Way to rock the unemployment.

Scrappy - that is also excellent.

Go Amy, impressive!

And dang Scappy, that's awesome, and perfect for a refresh yourself before doing job hunting or decision making and future planning!

Yay, Amy! At this rate, I predict world domination in two weeks.

Hec, never having socialised with them, how was I supposed to know?

Yeah, that was really a comment on my own blinders. I met Charlie before she was known for IO9 (in fact it was right as Annalee was starting up IO9) and it was specifically as Annalee's lover. So that just always been the lens I've viewed them through.

Go Amy! That's awesome!

Yay, Scrappy, that sounds wonderful!

And supportive cheering for Allyson: way to take care of yourself, I hope you get more help from the medical professionals soon.

Congrats, Amy! That is awesome.

And also awesome for you, Scrappy!
