Yay, Steph! Definitely an early wedding present. Makes the honeymoon that much more happy to know you'll come back to a job (part-time).
The woman who called is the one I had a phone interview with in August, and she knew I was getting married soon, although I didn't expect her to commit the date to memory. She asked if it was a good time to talk, and I said "Well, tomorrow is the wedding, so we're taking care of last-minute chores, but I have a few minutes."
And she said, "Well, I hope I'm about to bring you more joy, then!"
Nice timing indeed. I almost didn't answer the phone because I didn't recognize the number and am SO TIRED of the phone ringing today. Glad I answered it (obviously)!
EDITORS, READERS, BUFFISTAS, LEND ME YOUR EYES:
Walmart currently employ 2,200,000 full-time employees across the United States.
Is there any formation of company name that makes that okay? Any metaphor or company principle that unviolates the grammar? It seems to be consistent "1st person plural" throughout this document (which is not from Walmart, nor mentions 2.2m employees).
I believe that is the UK convention, and I'm betting that article is from The Economist, which rigorously sticks to that style.
Steph, congrats! Great news, great timing!
Congratulations, Steph! Great timing for the good news.
And ita, I don't even know what to say. Sounds overwhelming at the very least. You've had a rotten month. I like Amy's suggestion of running away, but I'm not sure there's enough porn to set things right.
I'm not sure there's enough porn to set things right.
Well, what kind of attitude is that?! (Kidding.)
Also, this apartment is small and crowded and not really a place to run away to. To escape from, yes, but probably better not the other way around.
Work exhausted me today. And now I have work to do this weekend! Blech.
My last meeting with the now ex boss has terrified me, so not really looking forward to the weekend.
I have lost all sense of proportion.
I would love to escape to anywhere, except everywhere requires effort. I need a certificate for a handmaiden who I only communicate with through text messages who does everything for me. Then I will take a week off.
Not that I can take a week off, but you know.
But, anyway, kvetch moan whine. Thanks, for everything.
My sister in working through the weekend, Amy. sigh. Where's the porn, I ask?
Yay Steph!
The monster project that I thought we were free and clear from yesterday came back like a bad penny today. Oh well, at least the clients REALLY wanted to hire us to work on it?
