Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Maybe you can set the 2 sofas up like that bed/sleigh/sofa thing in that castle.

I will definitely do one or the other of those things! Or possibly something else... It is true that the room is technically big enough for both pieces of furniture at once.

Three references secured, three jobs applied for. Not bad for before 11 am.
So far there's been a pleasant chorus of "What do you mean they're firing you? That's ridiculous!" from co-workers hearing the news. And I got some free copy editing on my cover letter and resume from a co-worker who's a professional editor, which is always helpful.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So the job offer I was waiting on came in. It includes kind of a high-level summary of benefits ("you are eligible for medical, dental, vision, etc."), but no specifics. Is it weird to reply and ask for more details?

Not that we needed the additional evidence to know, but you are clearly a rockstar, Calli.

Yay Calli!
I feel like a fallen souffle. I'm forcing myself to work thru this Lynda.com tutorial in 15 minute bursts. (And oh good -- I just realized I can take another dose of Tylenol because the time is up.)

On an actuaql offer? Like, you could just reply and accept and you have a job? Not weird to ask for more details.

Yeah, "medical" could mean you get in a pool to lower rates, but you're responsible for all of it. Or it could mean the company picks up 90% of the tab. That's probably a difference of multiple hundreds of dollars per month, so I'd definitely want to get more details before accepting. That said, congrats on the offer!
And thanks, -t and Theodosia!
