Better or worse? (I am asking msbelle)
OK, have applied for Financial analyst position (internal online application process is not too stupid) and notified my boss that I was doing so. HR tells me it's a "lateral move" paywise - I've got a 1% raise in my salary requirements because I rounded up. But I would require that to move.
Not sure I would take this job if offered, frankly. It's a longer commute, which would have to be by car I think, and I know very few people at that site. I can't tell from the description if the job would be a better fit for me and my education or not. But I figure keeping in practice with interviewing when I don't really need (or maybe want) the job is probably good. We'll see what happens.
Man, I like the taste of horseradish. Nom nom nom.
THAT WAS A DREAM IMPOSTER.
Theodosia, I don't think it is in poor taste at all to ask for a bit of help when you are in a bind, especially since you used so much of your own resources to help an animal and a person who were also in a bind.
What the hell, the Reds just scored their first run of the year on a balk. Not the most dramatic way to start the season.
But Johnny Cueto pitched his 1,000th strikeout, so that's pretty excellent. And the 1990 Nasty Boys were the grand marshals of the Opening Day parade, which makes me feel pretty damn old.
Oh, good. My aunt and uncle are not spending the entire week in Chicago because the weather is supposed to be crappy. And I had to reassure my aunt that casual clothes are completely fine to visit my office. She doesn't realize how hilarious it is that she's asking if casual clothes are okay. Our dress code is, like, maybe don't show up in your pajamas unless it's pajama day.

Gotta be better than what's happening in Milwaukee. Of which I know nothing, except that my sister is posting on FB asking about slaughter rules for opening day.
We've got a rain delay, but it looks like it'll blow over. But the Reds are ahead 2-0 (after the score on a balk, Jay Bruce hit a home run, which was nice), so I feel pretty good about it so far.

Don't knock the balk. The Braves got to the playoffs on a balk. (The balk is one of those baseball rules that I put in the "now you're just messing with us" category.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Amy!
Am eating a kosher for Passover frozen dinner because Gary's away on business. It's roast turkey, and I managed to spill hot turkey broth on my right pinky finger. Over all, not a great experience. (The mashed sweet potatoes are the best part of the whole thing.)

I'm pretty sure Tim doesn't believe that one (along with the infield fly rule). He's pretty gleeful about HBP, though, and thinks you should get more bases depending on how hard you get hit (like if you get hit by a 100 mph Aroldis Chapman pitch, you should just get an automatic run, because DAMN).
