Our wings are not tired.

Amych that sucks although I am so out of it I still thought you were self-employed! Is that something you can go back to easily?

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

It's something I can spin up again if it comes down to paying the bills, but I'd really prefer not to -- the major benefits of the real job thing at this point (at least for me) are (a) I suck rocks at the business part of business and (b) a good team and the kind of projects/scale/challenges that it really doesn't make any sense for anyone to tackle solo.

My least favorite thing that they spice up are chicken sandwiches, because I'd about bet that people buy chicken sandwiches looking for something chill, not something else to dump peppers on. Amych, best luck on the whole job thing.

Amych, I'm so sorry. I hope you have a restful week and find a fabulous new job after that.

Gotcha. Makes sense. I liked some things about consulting (I didn't mind the business side at all) but I do prefer having a team.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, amych! Good luck.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry, amych. That does suck. When you're ready to start looking, let me know if you'd like me to share leads. In my search I find a lot of things that I'm not quite right for, but you might be.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Holy crap, I had trouble unlocking the door to my apartment when I got home tonight, and then walked in to this: [link] [link]

At first I thought my place had been broken into and ransacked, but as I looked around it became clear that valuables hadn't been touched and the havoc was confined to the living room. So apparently my cats threw some kind of unholy fit that included flinging a couch cushion heavier than the two of them put together to the floor and somehow unlocking the arm frame of my sofa.
