You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

the person they initially hired (instead of me) ended up not taking the job, and now they have someone else who's been hired as an interim director, and they're posting a one-year K-12 librarian position. Anyway, cross your fingers for me, please!

Crossed!

ita's oatmeal sounds great, but only if someone else is making it for me. I'm lazy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I finally found a recipe that requires 2 minutes of stirring and then 20 minutes of doing something else, 30s of attention, and then 10 minutes of doing whatever. And I'm good for four mornings. I'm in such heaven, you don't even know.

Good luck, Kate!

The shoes of unemployment

I don't remember wearing shoes when I was unemployed. Go you!

Punishingly Intricate

My day started with the check engine light going on in my brand new car. What the hell?! It's going to the dealer today and, obviously it's under warranty, but I thought having car payments meant a reduction in worrying about car bullshit!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The shoes of unemployment

I pretty much always wear shoes in the house, because 3 pets means hair everywhere, and I don't want pet hair on my bare feet. So -- gnarly flip-flops, much to Tim's chagrin.

t edit Lee, your shoes are cute as hell!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My feet are bare and I need a pedicure.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm barefoot, and I honestly can't remember the last time I had a pedicure. Maybe high school prom.

Since my SIL has a nail salon I tend to be ok on the pedicure. For the first time in about forever I didn't have any bruised toes so I went for the French.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm a 47 year old woman who just had poptarts for breakfast because that was what was in the vending machines, and sometimes getting myself up, dressed, and fed before work is just one thing too many.

Why do you think I work from home so much?

I am wearing flip flops and am in dire need of a pedicure.
