Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But it's a senior engineer position on the web team at a Buffista-beloved design company near me. And the bennies include a fabric allowance.

Fantastic!

You could if I were your boss.

Aw, I wish!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Nothing like getting a text 40 minutes into a show saying "Come back!" to check the AC in the dimmer room. I'm an hour away. Facilities is in the building. Use your brain and let me finish my beer.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I kind of tried to say that today, but she was all focused on next steps and shit. She's not the most personally sympathetic person in the world.

IMO a lot of workplaces have a lot of unnecessary stress culture. Yours sounds like one of them. A month? Are you an ER surgeon?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds great, sarameg.

And now that I've seen the deets on FB - I repeat my "Oooooooh" towards amych. Very nice!

That does not sound great, aurelia. Enjoy your beer.

I guess I have accepted that this cheesecake is not going to bake itself. I've gotten as far as making the crust. Instead of graham crackers I'm using coconut macaroons (because Passover), which certainly crumbed up nicely and I think will taste good. Now I'm second-guessing the lemon flavor of the cheesecake itself, maybe lime would be better? The whole things is to be topped with kiwi slices. Supposed to be a Spring Baked Good, whatever that means. Anyone have an opinion?

I'd eat it, however you go!

Fun to send this note:

Dearly Beloveds, I have been assigned as your chauffeur for Saturday's events. As soon as I procure a route for your conveyance, I will provide you with a meet time... and blindfolds, possibly of improvised means. Apologies for that. Please assert your willingness in this should I be pulled over for attempted kidnapping. It would be appreciated and get you to the destination faster.
Delighted to be of service,
-s-

Coconut macaroon crusted cheesecake? That sounds excellent.

Jesse, I think if you were on your way back to normal/had taken steps to deal, that would be something to tell your boss. Though I guess it might not sound super true if you were crying. I hate crying.
