Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Scrappy, that is not going to be fun. Mucho sympathy to you.
And woot! on the job offer, Consuela, even if is not what you'd hoped. It does speak to their shortsightedness for not hiring you as an employee when they had the chance.
I am so flipping tired. But on the plus side, after work today I went and bought tix to see Book of Mormon next month.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Today was... not easy. This evening was a sort of wake for my boss (who passed away Sunday) which was both good and rough. I held it together until I walked out the door into the snow pelting my face and ended up having an ugly cry in the car before driving home.

Drat! I was all excited coming in, to tell my boss I had figured out a crazy figure we included in a document was just missing a zero. Yeah, no -- she pointed out that I was multiplying the wrong two numbers in my head. Ah well. It would be nice if any of the hundred people who read and edited this thing had reviewed the facts we were asserting!

Man, Randall Munroe has been doing that What If thing long enough to put together a book and I have yet to read any of his answers. It's very possible I am living wrong.

Because books.
I'm sorry, aurelia. That's so hard.
