That's good news, askye! Glad you'll get away from the New Girl.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
That sounds fantastic :)

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.
I'm glad you got the phone job, askye!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Askye, that's fantastic! Congratulations!

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

Thrive to spite them
Thanks everyone! The position has a steep learning curve and I'm going to have to work hard and start learning more stuff, both from sources provided by the company but also from places like CNet. I think I'm going to have to start a binder of info and resources.

Yay, askye! Best of luck!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Wow. I just got the most shitty passive-aggressive comment directed at me on FB (on someone else's post, not mine, so it's not something anyone here can go see), about not being invited to the wedding. It was something along the lines of "When a very important day happens and only a few in the circle go while many were left out." (The person whose post it is was one of our friends who was at the wedding.)
Great. Are we in grade school now?
There is literally no way I can respond to that, is there? Anything is going to sound like a weak-ass excuse. Jesus. The venue held 50 people. Our families made up about 40 spots. And we wanted to be able to celebrate with our closest friends. Which apparently was wrong, because if we couldn't invite all 100 of our social acquaintances, then apparently we shouldn't have invited anyone.
Jesus, I wouldn't have even invited all of our social acquaintances even if we had had the room and budget, because...no. HELL no. But, you know, FUCK what the actual bride and groom wanted, right?
That is rude and hurtful and there's absolutely no way I can respond. Although I was thinking of "Bitch, PLEASE."
(And the funniest part is that this person, earlier in the summer, was invited to a mutual friend's wedding that Tim and I weren't invited to, and she posted pictures, and my reaction was "Wedding pictures YAAAAAAAY!!!" I totally missed the part where I was supposed to be hurt that someone else's wedding wasn't all about me.)
