I agree; the three years I spent in Spain were three of the most well spent years of my life. You won't regret doing it, even with the problems traveling back stateside.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ISTG. I was all ready to be up and at em at work this morning, got halfway here, and realized I left my computer at home! Luckily, I was only halfway here, so I turned around and went back home again. But still -- not quite the way I wanted to start my busy day!

I am actually so frustrated I could cry right now. Or break something. I'm pretty sure the root cause is someone dicking with something and forgetting to tell us, but no one is owning up to it and it is a big problem.

Oof. My manager wants me to consider moving to New York.

Our wings are not tired.
Jesse, sarameg, brenda! May your Friday improve quickly.
Brenda, is enough of your job of a nature that telecommuting works?

not your mom's socks.
Sarameg - ugh so sorry. I hope someone steps up and owns it.
Shrift, I put in another question for Dear NSA - you'll hopefully know it's mine when you see it - and then pushed the heck out of this. I love it so.
Brenda -- ugh. I know you love Chicago. My first thought was "but NYC is closer to ME" - selfish. Also Will be in Chicago in early June. I should put that in F2F

I swear I put my lunch on my bag this AM...no lunch. Then I realized that I had a 9 AM meeting with an executive director at 9:07. Luckily, the ED i was supposed to be meeting was tied up until 9:30, so I made it there in time.

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

I have to get a blood test today for a transfusion tomorrow. As I was getting myself together to leave, I learned that a small plane had crashed on the interstate between said test and me. The surface-street route is ridiculously convoluted. Sigh.
eta: I see now that four people were killed, so I really shouldn't complain about the inconvenience.
I guess I'll pack some snacks and head out.

Ginger, how awful. Did anyone on the ground get hurt? If so, I'm grateful your appointment wasn't earlier.
