AW, must be last call here as I hear maroons whooping at the top of their lungs. No matter where I move, it's always the same.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Weirdly, this is NOT the first person I have had sex with who is now dead. The other person died when we were in college. Car accident.
Yeah, the first person I ever kissed is dead now. Which is weird and sad.
I am out dancing with my roommate, her BFF whose birthday it is, and an ex. Very weird

not your mom's socks.
Oh Kat I am sorry for the news.
The twins photos are utter joy.
Called doctor's office at 9am Friday. Finally called again at 2 and got an office person, who came back with "doc had an emergency in the am and the rest of the day's schedule is tight and she doesn't have time to talk to you, so just document your symptoms and make an appointment to come in." I made the appointment, for Monday, but get to spend the weekend documenting worsening symptoms. And feeling like I shouldn't have called.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, Kat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, I just found out a former coworker's mother died suddenly yesterday. The coworker isn't even 30, and her father had been really sick for a long time, but is at least somewhat better now. She had a reaction to the dye for an MRI. So sad.

So I answered a job ad for a contract position, mostly working from home doing environmental reviews for a wireless firm. The hiring manager emailed me right back, less than an hour later. 40 hours/week, $30+/hour. No travel.
It sounds like it's probably a grind, but OTOH it would be new work on my resume. The down side is it would be contract, no benefits. (Thank goodness for Obamacare!)

Because books.
Oh, Jesse, that's hard.
Kat, I'm sorry about your friend. It's always upsetting to hear something like that.
The down side is it would be contract, no benefits. (Thank goodness for Obamacare!)
I feel like contract work really is a new trend, especially in certain industries (like writing, hi). So yes, yay for Obamacare.

Oh, geez, Jesse. That's awful.

On the resume and money coming in. At least it is something Consuela.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's rough on the co-worker, Jesse. So sad.
Maybe 40/week, no travel, mostly from home would leave you some time to look for something better? Also, money coming in is nice, as well as adding something to the resume.
