See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Tons of job~ma to Amy, MM, bonny, Dana, shrift, and anyone else who needs it (Calli, Hil, Scola?). And a hearty dose of recognize-the-awesome-that-is-this-applicant~ma to the places and people they're reaching out to.
ION, man, this place is seriously grim and grey when it rains. I don't even mind grim and grey all that much ordinarily, but the combination of the grey and the open space is a little unsettling. We're tiptoeing around talking in hushed voices and feeling lost and adrift, and every now and then someone's head will pop up over a cubicle wall and hastily duck back down, like a meerkat scoping for predators. I feel certain I just read about this place in The Phantom Tollbooth.

Fingers crossed for the job needers!
Conversation with a library patron just now:
"Can I have a pair of scissors? I need to cut a hole in my purse because the zipper broke."
"Sure, here you go."
"Also, can I get the Complete Kama Sutra, and the Holy Koran?"
"Yes, let me go get those for you. I'll need to hold your ID." [we hold ID for frequently stolen books, which category includes both of these]
"I know, that's why I need the scissors."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"I know, that's why I need the scissors."
Perfect.

I woke up this morning with a sore throat and a 3ft snow drift on my steps. I shovelled and called in sick, cancelled my hair appointment, and went back to bed. I woke up at 3:45. I can't remember the last time I actually slept all day, even when sick.

Coughing and snotting bite big time. Worse - buying more tissue and it ends up being really thin and flimsy and not up to demands.
Betrayed by my tissue.

Herding cats for fun
Awwww.... sorry about Wednesday, -t. Sending hugs, because I've been there with a pet so many times... but the four-foots, they are good to have around even when they don't live long enough to suit me.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
You are also Brave, woman.
I insist on Puffs Plus tissues. I use them so often you'd think economy would be the move, but no. I like skin on the end of my nose, thanks, and the Puffs Plus has the looootion. And they are thicker and plusher, besides. I'll scrimp on TP, but not on nose-tissue.
Of course, we have to get regular tissue for the glasses and the odd jobs sort of uses. Not wasting the loooootion, nuh-uh.
Sending all you sickies get-betters and the good tissues, with the (say it with me and Peanut) looootion.
