I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

You know, I'm way more excited about this potential job--with its increased responsibilities and expectations--as I ever was about the job I'm currently in. That says something.

I am trying soooo hard not to be bounce, bounce, bouncy in the office right now. Ridic. I have no clue how I'm going to make it through this weekend, because I want to know now, damnit.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Fingers knotted in a Star of David for you. Sounds super super promising.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Weather's been nice this week. They're talking about rain for tomorrow. Of course.

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

I am sad. I found the last Cost Market Plus Whatever Adirondack chair in the Los Angeles area, and *purchased* it to find out it can't fit in my car assembled. Now I have to do actual shopping to find one. Pfah. I wanted it for tomorrow.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I survived the Registry even though my wait was closer to 45 minutes than the 30 predicted, but given that it's close to the end of the month and all, I won't complain. And now I won't be driving on expired insurance or expired registration, so I feel like I'm slowly coming out of the extended funk I've been stuck on for the past couple of weeks....

Did you know "you" could rent Eric Clapton's Venice Beach house?

(My new boss has discovered I can word good. Now I'm apparently writing emails for the intern as well as website copy. I think I've performed poorly if it's taken him this long to work it out--but when he handed me the web pages on Wednesday and explained his goals and asked for a review, apparently everyone fell in love with it. Come on! I have an "excellent presentation" award from the CIO pinned up in my cubicle. It's my not-so-stealth differentiator.)

(My previous manager thought I was pretty incompetent when it came to communication...)

Right! Grab the fruit salad for late lunch and back to the presentation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I found the last Cost Market Plus Whatever Adirondack chair in the Los Angeles area, and *purchased* it to find out it can't fit in my car assembled

I had that problem with a coffee table (and my parents' car). It was so sad! But I'm really happy with the one I have, and that one really would have been too big for the space. I hope your chair situation works out as well!
