Still waiting for official word from the doc, but tests are finally done and results from the attending were best I could hope for. Stupid fibroids, no matter how extraordinary are still stupid I am relieved. Fingers crossed doc says the same.

And thank you for the ~ma. it helps a lot.

As it turns out, the living room set was anything but goth. In fact, it was pink.

This line made me giggle.

Things that irk me, take 124: the annual email asking staff for contributions toward the boss's gift. Every year I decline, because I don't think it's appropriate for staff to buy their bosses gifts. Every year the organizer of this affront tries to guilt/shame/peer-pressure me into giving money. This year I just replied with NO. She's all huffy now.

That is so ridic. Good on you.

Miss Manners has your back.

Seriously.

Yeah, pretty much every etiquette thing is going to say you do not gift "up" at an office. There are always going to be exceptions (small office where you're getting everyone else something, personal outside of work friend, maybe for a baby shower type thing, whatever) but a requested holiday contribution? Oh hell no.

Good Stuff Happened Today just got mentioned/linked to in the Tumblr Staff post. Congrats!

Aw, nice! Go Jesse!

Sox,

not sure what the treatment options are, but I have had them. I am happy to talk you through whatever.
