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*
Willow: That's a work ethic! Buffy, you're developing a work ethic! Buffy: Do they make an ointment for that?

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.

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.

I'll have to check him more regularly

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
So, the higher-level editor position with the AMA that I mentioned a week or two ago? My boss just sent out an email to the freelance staff announcing that [Other Editor] is leaving and that I've agreed to take the position. (Which I had; it's just weird to read it as fact.) So...I guess I'm promoted and shit. I believe it will start in mid-July or August.
I'm still slightly terrified that I'll fail horribly (despite the fact that I was an editor in a medical-related field for 18 years), but also making Paul Gross arms (internally).

That's great, Steph!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I am making Paul Gross arms for you externally. Also Kermit arms. Maybe some other kinds of celebratory arms.
Does this mean they'll be bringing you on as an employee, or are you staying contract but with shinier terms?

Because books.
All my arms are celebratory, Steph. You're going to do great.

Congrats, Tep!
And, Mom called, they were waiting for my niece to wake up, which she now has. So, family time, full speed ahead.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hi yall!
I have a friend who is in the hospital and will be for awhile, she's pretty sick. She loves romance novels, and I know nothing of romance novels. Can I get some recs for new titles? She isn't likely to have anything that has come out in the last couple of months.
