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

You ought to be able to use that to your advantage in some way, Connie.

Congratulations, Doc Otter!

When I talked to my dad last night he said they would call me "when people start stirring". Are my siblings seriously still asleep? Not that I am really ready to leave, but I am suspicious that they will all go to breakfast without me and only remember they were supposed to call much later.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

When I talked to my dad last night he said they would call me "when people start stirring".

My family would say that, and then forget to call me until they were walking out the door to meet them in five minutes. I've taken to getting ready as soon as I know we will meet sometime that day, and then just waiting.

Congratulations, Doctor Otter!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

it strikes me as a little lackadaisical in the way of corporate security.

It was very handy when I could call Tech Support, and outsourced service which was only for taking calls and routing them, and have the guys who do the work overhear (I sat between email tech support and general tech support) and have it fixed almost before I hung up.

And, honestly, usually I asked for (and got) help before putting in a ticket--but tickets showed their workload, so I made sure to call them in soon.

Turns out the interview that went well is paying Colorado rates even if they place someone in LA, so that was pretty much a waste of being charming. The recruiter had been misinformed of the rate by $15K.

Hey, congrats Doc Ot!

Yeah, for one thing it's pretty easy for them all to forget I'm 45 minutes away. I'm thinking I might just leave as soon as I'm ready. Which'll be pretty soon.

Sorry about the payrate, ita, that's too bad. Good to keep the charm from getting rusty, I suppose.

Congrats Doctor Otter!!!

Today's pain levels are higher than yesterday. Eatting oatmeal hurts. But, so far no big spasms.

And it looks like K-Bug is getting kicked out of living with KCD and B and will be living with CJ and I in our 2 bedroom apartment (versus their 4 bedroom house). I still haven't gotten a straight answer for what happened. The info I'm getting from KCD just doesn't seem to warrent kicking her out. I need to find a smooth way to talk to B to hear her side of it. Living with us, short term, might be fine, but until she graduates? Not so much.

Congratulations, Doctor Otter!!

And in other news, drat! I found a typo on the version of the resume I've sent to several jobs in the past couple of days. *insert Charlie Brown-esque "argh!" here*

Because books.

Oh, yikes, Suzi. That's not an easy situation.

Doctor Otter! I like the sound of that.

The man who writes up the weather for the Salt Lake Tribune obviously enjoys his work

Whether emotions or forecasts, perhaps Sigmund Freud had the truth of it when he opined: "Neurosis is the inability to tolerate ambiguity."

There will be no uncertainly or gnawing doubts about Utah’s summer when it officially begins Saturday, ushered in by Friday’s clear, sunny skies and 90-degree highs. On Thursday, the forecast called for the mercury rise to near 80.

Southern Utah approaches the weekend with climatological confidence bordering on narcissism: Thursday’s forecast called for highs in the upper-90s under cloudless, bright horizons, with Friday and Saturday temperatures expected to hit triple digits.
