I really hope this works out well for you, askye. I think it's a good decision. I was worried about you spending a cold, New England winter isolated.

Always Anti-fascist!
Askye, I would say that we should start a club, but neither of us want to be in it. Next week, I have my most onerous task of the year, Crip Division. Meeting with my fabulous social worker to decide how many hours I get next year(I mean, I even think I would like him, in a no-closet-can-hold-him sort of way, except I have learned the hard way that even having a "nice" or "good" one may not preclude budget or bureaucratic misery.) So he gets a color-coordinated sideeye until he signs off on everything.Ugh...would so rather just have a root canal again...at least they don't expect you act pleased and I could gag when I felt like it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good luck with the move, askye.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, I wrote to the AARP Bulletin and expressed my anger at the article. Pointed out that since they followed the one about people overdosing on prescription medications with one on the dangers of OTC painkillers that it sounded almost like they were advocating people living in pain. Which, with their audience being people 50 and over, means a lot of them in constant pain. I believe I used the words "how dare you" in there ...
On the other hand, something to make you smile.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thank you, Toddson, for both of those.

Thrive to spite them
So I went by work today and talked to the assistant manager who is still in my chain of command and let him know I'd be leaving.
I'm not asking to transfer stores but I'm going to talk to the manager and let him know that I may apply after the new year and ask if he could tell me what that would be like.
I don't know how a new store manager would deal with my hours and I want to not work the holidays and just settle in and get ...well therapy-ized for a bit.
Looked for boxes at work but there weren't any I'm going to have to ask for box for my tv to be saved and also if they can save some good boxes from shipments for me to use for packing.

I found this and thought I would share it [link]
It's Fuck That Guided Meditation. I normally don't react well to guided meditation but this one is funny and (I guess) a parody of meditation but I think it's actually helpful.

Our wings are not tired.
That is brilliant, askye!
