Ooh, that sounds cool, Sue! Someone from the archives here recently went (home) to the UK for some EU job -- could there be any connection?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's a with the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. They're a UN organization. (A lot of the EU jobs are restricted to residents of EU countries.)

Oh, wow.

Yeah. I really don't know much about them...I probably should do some reading up.

Um, they just won the Nobel Peace Prize?

And for some reason that just triggered me to figure out what song was playing in the Royal Farms on Saturday night. Somehow related to one of the cashiers having a whole little dance routine to it.
....I don't understand my brain sometimes.

I have been shortlisted for a job in the The Hague. Next step written exam to further cull the herd of candidates. Cue excited flailing alternating with panicked flailing.
Ooh, that would be pretty awesome!
I do not want to fly to Denver in a middle seat. I also am not sure how I'm supposed to get everything I need done on time. And I don't get back from this visit until late Friday night...and have to leave again Sunday. Boo. But I am looking forward to next Thursday when I go on vacation for a couple days. Can't come soon enough.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I have a sparkly multicolored zigzag line in my upper right field of vision. This is ... weird, in a festive sort of way. (I've never had a migraine, which was my first thought, and am feeling fine otherwise. It's not a stroke or anything, right?)
This sounds like my ocular migraines as well. I usually get them at this time of year when the heat first goes on. Drink lots of water and maybe look into a neti or a saline spray. That's what keeps mine away.

Very cool, Sue!

I had that once. I downed a bunch of caffeine and ibuprofen and eventually it faded. I'm very glad the head ache portion of the migraine seemed to skip me. I'm also very glad it hasn't returned in the seven or so years since.
