everyone I met at the Copenhagen office thinks I'm awesome and great at my job. Also, they really want me to move there.
This is not at all surprising.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

It's a nice idea to idly contemplate. But there's the reality of our life in Seattle: Dad is here, a bunch of our close friends, my goddaughters. Plus the idea of packing up ALL OF OUR STUFF and doing a cross-continental move is terrifying to think of.
But still, Copenhagen was pretty nice. It looks like I'll be headed back there in June.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Braceless sumi is excellent news! Many congrats!
Management-by-sabotage, and its subset New-management-establishing-itself-by-shitting-all-over-everyone-who's-already-there, is grimly familiar to way too many of us. Enough so that I personally can't even construct a response, just nod and shudder and rock back and forth. But, holy crap, am I delighted that Jilli is loved and appreciated now! So long overdue, so incredibly well deserved!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Lovely house, flea! May you have many happy years living five minutes from Teppy.
I am always boggled by people who get their jollies from having endeavors they're involved with struggle and fail.
I wasn't sure if you meant cruddy work managers who set people up to fail or the ghost/sasquatch hunters...

In other news, wow, my brother is an asshole, and I have therefore now made a custom setting on Facebook so he cannot see my posts when he's being a drunken jerkwad who needs to fall in a manhole and drown.
