Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
You gotta do something to keep sane, Connie.
Laura, I strongly feel that deserves a rimshot.

One of the local brew taverns offers barley wine. I wonder whether it is closer in taste to a dry wine or to a beer. (Too many of my meds conflict with alcohol for me to find out first hand.)

I'd say neither. It's a strong beer style, rich, malty, boozy, warming. It's called a barley"wine" because its alcohol content is similar to that of wine's. (11-14%~ish)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The alternative is to burn out completely.
Internet and network is down at work. I've sent everyone home. And am finally reading the vaccination guidelines that I only skimmed when I got them in March. It's the only non-computerized task a I have left. I have so much work but it's all in the network tubes or that other series of tubes, the internets.
The guys next door are playing with sirens.
Their job is better today. Their job is better a lot of days.

Long day. 11 hours up there. One PET scan, one lumbar punch, one pulmonary test, one echo cardiogram, one EKG. Nice people, though. And there are jigsaw puzzles everywhere.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Continued ~ma of all kinds to the Viking and you, Connie.
So sorry about Elliott, Sail. Glad you have friends to keep you company.
Calli, that bites hard. I hope you find something good, and soon.
Hi. Still mostly lurking.

That is long, Connie. I hope the end result is a Viking triumph.

Connie, you're a trooper, as is the Viking. A long day for both of you; may the results bring better news.
Hey, smonster, from one mostly lurker to another.
Calli, we have been opening a ton of new positions in my division, especially in e-learning; Uw-Madison is trying to put more of its classes online. If they pop another one, would you like me to link you? Also, a ton of new marketing positions, some mainly web design. If that's something you have experience in, I can link those, too.

Hi SailAweigh. Thanks! I've applied to one eLearning position at UW-Madison, and I'd be thrilled to apply to more of them. So, please, yes, link me up! I have some web design experience, but I think my strengths are more on the eLearning side of things.
