You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Wow. That is amazing, Connie.

In other news, I have to brag a bit. Instead of my usual workout, I checked my maximums. I can now chest press 110 pounds and squat 185. I've been giddy about this all evening.

That said, I will be taking a lot of ibuprofen before going to bed...

Impressive, Anne!

Anne, that's so badass. I really need to get serious about weights. You're such an inspiration.

Thank you! I've gotten so much out of weight lifting, not just physically, but mentally as well.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I caught up in Natter! I wasn't sure that would ever happen.

I should be cleaning all the things since my parents are coming to visit in two days. I just realized their last visit was in 2006. Wow.

I should also be putting together my application materials for the job I've been doing since mid-November. For my references, should I just include their current title/place of employment or that plus the places we worked together?

I think the second one? Although it kinda seems like you ought to be able to just say "I accept the position" and be done with it at this point.

I thought they were going to offically post the position in March. It didn't happen until last week. AND I didn't get Interim status or any additional compensation until I made a fuss at the beginning of June.

I think I actually do have my stuff together. Anyone willing to check for typos?

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

I'll play CAH!

Oooh! I can play! I have free time and I'm hopped up on migraine meds AND cold meds!

What do I need to do?
