I kind of wanted the cane with the flames painted on it like Dr. House has, but I looked into it, and they don't make it in my size. I even found a company that sells them that will custom-size the canes by cutting a few inches off the bottom if needed, but they said that, for that one, the amount they'd need to cut off would cut off most of the design. So I went with plain black.
Slap my hand now!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That feels like an art project just waiting for a rainy day.

I always like House's dress cane, the black one with the silver handle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fuck, "I'd tell you a UDP joke but you might not get it" is the hardest I've tried not to laugh at in a long time (short version: if you don't understand it, it's totally not worth asking), and I just submitted it for the "funniest joke" requested by our CIO. Even in IT, it's got a small audience.
This is the only cane I have left from the collection I started when I had knee nerve damage. Katrina got the less practical ones. But it goes well enough with just about everything, and I like that sort of handle for about two or three hours worth of on and off use. Frankly, I don't think I'm up for much more with this injury, so no need for a better cane. Now. Hopefully ever.

So, I had my performance review today. It was glowing - I got a $10K raise and $15K worth of stock (vests over 4 years). Now I'll really feel like a total a-hole if I end up leaving. I couldn't help think, "This time next week, I might be giving my notice. Argh!" I totally realize this is a most excellent problem to have - choosing between two good, well-paying jobs. Still, it's so hard. I leave Sunday for an all-day interview in Seattle on Monday. EEK!

(Not that you don't deserve the awesome review and raise -- just wondering if they're making a move.)
