2nd link on the stools, but the third is close behind. I don't like the first.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Because books.
Oh, Scrappy, that's hard. And your poor mom! Fie on your brother's wife.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Scrappy, that's a lot of unhappy to ponder. So so sorry about your kitty.
(And I agree with Amy, fie on your brother's wife.)

Happy birthday, erikaj!
Burrell, be kind to yourself.
The exit interview at now-ex job went fine. I got to wander around and say goodbye to the people I wanted to, and I was stopped by a gratifying number of folks who had seen my goodbye email that morning and wanted to say "WHAT THE HELL NO YOU CAN'T LEAVE". (This allowed me to shrug, smile, and say, "Drama. You know how it is," which prompted one co-worker to say, out of the blue, "Wow, I'm sorry [now-ex boss] is such a bitch. You'll be better off."
Then I went to a dentist appointment, went for ice cream, and came home to discover a friend had sent me a pair of Halloween mouse ears from Disneyland. Today is pretty good, and I wish it would have been better for all of you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Thanks, lovely Buffistas. Just gotta be sad until I'm not.

Zombie game kickstarter: [link] Ends tomorrow, if anyone is interested in funding. (I totally contributed, so I can say that my wedding present to myself was a zombie game. Plus, we do love a good zombie game.)

I am at work, and I am an angel of patience, but I really pity the poor Cincinnati Bell representative who gets the phone call from the woman reprimanding them for emailing her repeatedly. (I helped her print all the emails they have sent her. This took nearly 2 hours. I kind of need a drink but am still at work for another 35 minutes. Note that the emails are her bills and her paid bill receipts, which she apparently signed up with them to receive.)

Scrappy, would J & you having a conversation with your vet help? I could feel it was time with Devi and was petrified I was making the decision for ME, not her (because watching her decline was really rough) and holy crap, that's an awful feeling. I had to spill all that to the vet so he could tell me what I knew was real and that it was only going to be worse, but without the personal baggage. And that was just with only me to make the call and I KNEW. It's hard and sad.
And wow, I was gonna post about how fried I am, and just writing that, even though I've spoken about it before and remained composed, just made me have a mini-weepfest. Yeah, today was another doozy. Half the day in meetings with some heavy uncomfortable politics. I just can't even. I can deal with days crammed like this now and then, but this has been a long slog of 'em.
