But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sure? I don't remember which characters were on which show.

Is anyone willing to offer an opinion on a resume thing for me?

Because books.

I am sure G will have a perfect divorce, and GOOP will somehow show off some decorating tips for her new houses as a singleish mother.

Ugh. THIS.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

And in more stupid decision news, the Governor of California appointed someone as the new State librarian today, except the person he appointed isn't actually a librarian.

The fact that GP is referring to the divorce as "conscious uncoupling" makes me want to yark.

I have decided to leave work and go home before I have to yell at anyone else today.

Lee, that makes no sense.

The fact that GP is referring to the divorce as "conscious uncoupling" makes me want to yark.

Well, of course she is.

I remember when I used to actually like her.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The fact that GP is referring to the divorce as "conscious uncoupling" makes me want to yark.

Unlike all those other couples who divorce by accident. Or, I don't know, fall off one another in a fit of narcolepsy?

hip deep in pie

I am going to work conscious uncoupling into as many situations as I possibly can. I am laughing for days how ridiculous it is.

And in more stupid decision news, the Governor of California appointed someone as the new State librarian today, except the person he appointed isn't actually a librarian.

Ugh. The latest Librarian and Archivist of Canada was a bureaucrat and so so terrible.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm gonna take a stand and say I'm against 10 hour workdays. I cannot keep this up.

msbelle, I highly recommend the Zombies Run! version of couch to 5K for getting you and the dog from walking to jogging or whatever. It's done me a world of good and not left me all sore hardly at all.

I should be running right now but I just got home and I'm kind of dehydrated and weepy and semi-catted.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Made the mistake of checking work email from home. How to tell a certain someone that I made a decision because it was convenient for me, considering she's no longer a part of any equation. The trials of keeping up a front while planning for the actual future.

But speaking of, to get specific: if you had an unpaid intern and a seasonal part time paid employee starting on the same day, and the unpaid person would be working 40 hours a week, with the paid being only allotted 20 hours, would keeping their roles distinct also dictate making their first day of work distinct? As opposed to bringing them both onboard in a similar fashion, but one has more responsibilities ;by which I mean time) with no pay, and the other less but paid. It'd be more efficient for me, but it seems more unfair to the two positions to be lumped together with such disparate wages and responsibilities.
