Congrats to CJ! I'm sorry about the drama.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.
sj, I'm glad you got home safely.
I'm hoping to get some actual sleep tonight. To get to the luncheon, we had to leave at 8:30. Ingot about 2 hrs sleep last night. Tomorrow, there is a staff meeting at 8:30 that I suspect will last longer than the scheduled two hours. Then I have to be to actual work at 1:30.
I'd be more enthusiastic about losing sleep for staff meetings if the bosses would schedule them for times when they were going to have to lose sleep too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Congrats, Sergeant CJ!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Congrats to CJ!

Congrats, CJ! That's awesome!
Rebuttal letter off to my awesome sanity check crew.
Oh! I forgot to tell you guys about the wonderful thing that happened last night. We stopped at my favorite cupcake shop after dinner, and the person at the counter was this awesome punk rock girl with tattoos, blue-ish hair, and tiny devilhorns clipped to her hair bandanna. We chatted with her about some annoying stuff in the news, Pete told her the quote about "If you're under 30, you weren't promised a future with a flying car, you were promised a future with a cyberpunk dystopia. Surprise! You got it!", which cracked her up.
She decided to put some good out in the universe, and gave us our cupcakes as "A random act of cupcakery". I almost started crying, because it was pretty much exactly what I needed to restore my faith in the universe right then.

Jilli, that's a sweet story. Is that quote Pete's or from another source?
I was sad to find out that the girl at my coffee shop that I have become friendly with is leaving. She's moving to RI, so I gave her my number and told her to call if she needed anything.

I think he read it somewhere, but I don't remember where.

Interview is over -- it went well, and she's sending me a copy-editing test to complete next week.
Now I get to go to the OB/GYN.
The rest of my day had better involve booze and unicorns.

Awesome!
Yay Teppy on the strong interview. Trust me on this, it is a delight for the interviewer to encounter people who know what they are talking about.
