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

Agreeing with everyone that an actual job offer means you get to ask for more details. Congrats!

First day of summer vacay and the skies are grey. Oh the irony! I'm still aiming for either pool or beach later today, and maybe a bike ride if it stays cool this morning. Need to air the kids out or they will be as stinky as old fish later.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good news, Dana -- and yeah, definitely ask for the details!

Go you, Calli!

I am continuously surprised by school year schedules in other places -- here, they aren't getting out until June 25!

I thought y'all would like to know that the Moncton shooter was captured without further incident overnight, and the Globe and Mail reports that residents of the area that was locked down for 30 hours were lined up at Tim Horton's at 7:30 a.m.

Our district just recently switched to an earlier schedule. It used to get out mid-to-late June and start in September. I don't think anyone has fully adjusted yet.

I hope the summer camps have, at least!

Of course they were! You should have seen Dunkin's here, after our lockdown last year.

Most camps start June 16, but Bruin camp starts next week so I signed them up for it.

Bruin camp? Do they learn to be Bruins?

Dana, definitely ask for specifics--was it a written offer? It's possible they'd be sending a written offer with a folder full of med/dent specifics? Though I feel like these days people ought to have all that stuff (or the important parts) PDF'd

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's a written offer. It's got details about stuff like bonuses and non-compete, but not the benefits.

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

And I yearn for one of those desks with crazy cubbyholes and niches and stuff. Like this.

I bet that one has no cable holes, though. You need hybrid.

Okay, two Amex jobs applied for. Yoinks. I forgot how much I hated the form-based applications.

Oh good, I am glad that was useful!!
