le nubian: doing much better. Still looking for another job. Just got an email from the History Department: their hiring paperwork was frozen again so that position is up in the air. (I'm glad that they're keeping us apprised!)
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

Strength to you and your family, msbelle. I hope she gets to go out on her own terms, in her own time.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Best possible ~ma to your grandma and your family, msbelle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Best thoughts to your grandmother and family, msbelle. 100! But still.

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
I once heard a doctor on some talk show say that he'd never taken steps to end a patients life, but that he'd "helped many patients to die"... he felt very strongly that at some point when they're ready people can "let go." He'd tracked down a missing relative, listened to various concerns...
When my own grandmother was in the ICU and moving in and out of lucidity I took her by the hand and told her I'd forgiven my father and that her youngest child (who had lost two pregnancies, wasn't going to have any more, and will likely end up burying her seven older siblings) would never be alone in the world. Those were troubles of hers I could relieve. She looked relieved. I don't know that it did a thing, but I think it did.

Oh msbelle, that's hard. I'm so sorry.
I guess my phone interview last week with Amazon went well! The recruiter just emailed me to ask about setting up a second one. C'mon, giant internet retailer! You want your very own gothy tech editor, yes you do.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Msbelle, much ~ma for your grandmother.

I hope you all find peace, msbelle.
I'm done for the day. My cats mostly behaved, though Pumpkin snored up a storm during a meeting and Loki tried to bite the phone.

Punishingly Intricate
I took a break from working to take CB over to play with her best buddy and drink a glass of wine and try on corsets. The dogs got filthy playing in the slushy yard but much fun was had by all. Now I need to try to get some more work done. I did finish my annual evaluation before I left so I feel like I accomplished something!
