I have serious envy for those who are moving on to new jobs; I want to leave mine so fucking bad. My boss is driving me nuts, second guessing every thing I do. "Did you talk to so and so about that? What about this? What about that?" She just keeps going on, loving the sound of her own voice and when I try to tell her it's handled, she tells me not to interrupt her. If she'd let me speak, she'd know everything was taken care of. All I wanted to know was if she was available for a half hour on Monday to give a new employee a little orientation/history of our department. I want the answer to one question and I get the fricking Spanish Inquisition.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
At some point in the dim distant past I bought one of those discount deals for an Emergency Survival Kit but I never picked it up or arranged to have it shipped to me and the deal eventually expired BUT I finally called and applied the voucher-price-that-doesn't-expire to a kit and should get it next week. So if there's a major earthquake in the North Bay over the weekend, that's my fault.

flea, I am sorry about the house.
In other news, if he is still at the shelter tomorrow, I will very likely be taking this little guy home as a playmate for Finn: [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

flea, I'm sorry about the house. House hunting is just so soul sucking.
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 a great idea. A corkscrew would be a wonderful addition to this. We couldn't figure out where we packed ours when we first moved, and a bottle of wine after the move was badly needed.

I hope you can find something better, SailAway. Micromanagement sucks.

The cat is a sweetie pie and would be a good match for Finn, personality-wise.

I'm not sure yet. I may change it to Petey. Of course, this assumes he was not adopted in the 15 minutes between the time I left the shelter and the time it opens tomorrow.
