Maria, at least it's something sexy, right? Fuel oil tanks are hawt.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Totally.

Are you sure your co-workers aren't going to surprise you with a going away something or other, Jess? In case leaving early would mess that up, I mean.
No, my leaving drinks were last week (with another co-worker who resigned a week earlier than I did).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
In re moving: I have, in the past, made "happy moving day" baskets for friends. Contents will include (yes, a lightbulb), a flashlight, toilet paper, paper plates and plastic flatware and, since most of my friends are women, tampons.
This is an excellent idea!
Hiding Avengers Valentine cards all around the house is also a brilliant idea, and fair warning, I'm going to steal it the next time I have a SO on Valentine's Day.
Why does it always happen that the day my sister decides to come visit, my house is a wreck?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My house, even though it was a foreclosure, came with blinds installed in some of the windows (some broken, but there) and light fixtures in most of the rooms (bare wires in the bathroom and just no lights in the living room), light bulbs in most of the fixtures, plates on most of the switches and some of the outlets, and a working fridge. Not bad!

Today's latest news is that I have to replace my 275 gallon fuel oil tank sooner rather than later. It's over 50 years old and nicely rusted at the bottom. If there's a spill or leak, it turns in to a major environmental disaster that requires calling the Dept. of Environmental Protection and clean up fees that could run into the tens of thousands. A quick google tells me that replacing the tank is going to run me about $2100. There goes my tax refund.
50 years old!! We are usually forced to replace them after 10 years if outside and 15 if inside.
I admit, I got 6 on the Cosmo quiz. But that was by picking the worst names.

flea, I'm sorry about the house. How frustrating!
Jesse, I think a wardrobe of glasses sounds awesome.
Daniel and I got crossbows for each other for Valentine's Day.
Ha! Love it.

I haven't actually gone to the CVS yet, but it's in my near future. I am chock full of procrastination today.

I'm sorry about the house, flea. I hope you find one that's perfect for you and your family soon.
Thanks for the comments about the interview way upthread. I asked a question and then ran off to my current part-time temp job. I think I'll go for it.
