Pix, I hope everything is okay. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Hoping for the best, pix.
So...I think I have hand-foot-mouth virus. Hahaha. I've been feeling fluish since Monday. And seriously, i thought I was having some kind of reaction to bacteria die off. I started drinking kefir on the weekend, and this first hit suddenly about an hour after having some on monday. But then yesterday my throat was sore like whoa, and there seem to be some sores on it and my tonsils. Now today blisters are appearing on my hands and feet. All I can think of is that someone I was talking to recently mentioned it was going around their kids school, and I would like to go back and dose that person with lysol.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Puppy-ma headed LA-ward, Pix.
My wonderful boss, who I've worked with for the past ten years, was let go today. This was not a total shock as she'd kind of been told she was being re-orged out of a job six months ago, but I'm still in a bit of a panic as I now have roughly 10 hours to learn everything she knows before I go on vacation for two weeks (her last day will be while I'm gone). I do have her home cell and permission to call any time, but still. Ack Ack Ack. (And the person who will most likely be my new boss is...problematic, to say the least.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, Sue! Other yikes, Jess!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's a lot of yikes.
My interview went well, and I should have a second interview next week-that's the one with the test. Oops.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Meep, Jess! Good luck with that.
And you too, Sue. Dang.

My dad went and got himself elected to public office, or something like public office. LAFCo Commissioner. He just keeps starting new careers.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm so sorry, Pix. Scrappy speaks true, puppy is luckly to have you. Hope she gets better soon.
And you too, Sue! I didn't get hand-foot-mouth, but my babes did. Not fun, but it will pass. Much ~ma and rest in the meantime.
Bummer about the stressful, bad news, Jessica. I'm sure your wonderful boss will land on her feet, as will you.
Has anyone else read the Deborah Harkness books? I've gotten sucked in, as they are the academic version of good, fun trash. Think A.S. Byatt, or more like Stephanie Meyers by way of A.S. Byatt.

Glad to hear the interview went well, ita. Fingers crossed for #2.

What county? My old MS friend just did the same thing. Plus she's gotten way into community organizing. Kinda cool.

That's less great, Jess and Sue.
