Really don't get me started on raspberries. Nasty fruit that contaminates everything. The number of people that ruin perfectly good chocolate with raspberry...
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Allergies + weather-related migraine = UGH. I feel you Steph.
I worked from home yesterday and I came in late today. My inbox is too explodey. I'm losing track of what I need to follow up on, and I'm trying to convince myself that I'm not being a failboat if I really am just that busy.

I hate work e-mails that open with "Just a friendly reminder..."

I have a phone interview for a bizarre-sounding "Learn Python on the job" scheme -- I checked and it's a legitimate recruiter, so who knows? I'd love to learn Python (programming language, not Monty) and would be good at it, too.
My experience in the job market makes me tend to be leary of such a good-sounding setup, but occasionally you strike gold. Or maybe it will be that the guy might have other leads. SIGH.
In the meantime, I'm still chugging my way through Wordpress tutorials on Lynda.com. If anybody wants some free WP work, let me know, I need to build a portfolio.

Oh. Sad. But good luck!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, that's where you're wrong.

The solution here is that Dana can just give me all her raspberries and uncooked tomatoes and everybody stays happy.

Because books.
Not if I steal all of Dana's raspberries first.

Real raspberries are wonderful. Fake fruit flavors are almost always horrible. And fake floral scents.
Especially when the city sewage processing plant is pumping out some horrible fake vanilla/floral scent into the entire south end of town to cover itself up! I'm looking at you, Provo! I think I would rather smell just sewage than sewage mingled with fake floral. Such a vile stench last night.
edit: Honest, I've smelled more pleasant road kill .

No lie, the first time I had cran-raspberry juice, I thought the entire bottle had gone off or been contaminated by something.
