Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

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

Ouch. Running injury or just flawed human design? I hope you have an easy recovery.

No kidding! I will be thankful when (hopefully) this subsides (pun intended??)

The swelling feels like it's gone down since my afternoon post. I did leave work a few hours early. Got home, and fell asleep on the couch. Pain. It wears ya out, I tell you what.

Pix. Very sad. Crutch club is not something I encourage folks to join. Did you get the good kind (like I have)? Or the crappy, under arm, traditional crutches? If they gave you the old school ones, Becareful to NOT lean on them with your arm pits. Does nerve damage. Trust me. Tinglies aren't fun. And do take care of yourself. Let me know if there is something I can do to help.

Aims, very happy for you! Woot!

All is well that ends in pizza.

I have been granted Unemployment Benefits.

I just need to keep up the search, and of course, former employer has until the 31st to appeal. I think if they do appeal the granting of my UI, it will pretty much back up everything I have ever thought about them.

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.

Heal quickly, Pix.

Ugh, poor Pix! I hope the crutches aren't too unwieldy.

Compassionately intolerant

I'm going to keep a good thought Daniel, that the former employer doesn't even think of appealing your UI.

Download the latest version of open office. Paste into open office draw. Export as SVG. Older version of open office draw did not do vectors but I think the last two or three versions do.

Awesome! Thank so much Typo.

Pix, I'm so sad for you...both for the actual injury and for the insult of not being able to meet the NY goal.

I hope whatever the problem is, is healed quickly and completely.

I'm sorry, Pix. I hope you heal quickly!

I'm glad you have unemployment, DCJ.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Quick healing for Buffista feet and butts.

DCJ, may your employer not be the asshole you fear they will.

I'm awake, in bed, surrounded by sleeping cats. I wish my laptop were here. Then I wouldn't have to get up. Except for food and caffeine. Ah well.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tim's niece emailed me to ask if I could do a little editing on her final paper for her honors project (it's a physics paper, so I told her I could wrangle the grammar and punctuation, but content-wise, I wouldn't know if her paper was about a death ray or cold fusion) (I hope it's a death ray).

Anyway, she started the email with "Hello, Aunt Steph!"

There may have been some tears.
