Timelies all!

I'm sorry, ita.

I wore a skirt to work today(Rosh Hashanah starts tonight) and one of my co-workers said "I've never seen your knees before." Ok......

"We'll see what we can do."

Gah! I very much hope that was someone not wanting to make promises for the doctor, and not a real reflection of the likelihood that your extremely reasonable scenario where you get a be scrip you need happens.

That sentence kinda got away from me. You get the gist, I hope.

ita, I do hope something comes through for you, both medical and career-wise. YOu deserve all the good things.

As does Allyson, who took hold of her brain and went to get it fixed, even though it was scary.

And Plei, too.

Crap, there's a lot of us with job issues. Did it used to be like this, or is this a function of the crap economy? SIGH.

I have leads on a couple of jobs I need to apply for, including one with a firm a good friend of mine used to work at, so I need to follow up. They're all consulting gigs, though, which means longer hours and more stress than right now. And I really don't want anymore stress, argh. Anyway.

I can't believe I spent two hours at the grocery store and forgot to get canned dog food. Sorry Walter. Not such a festive holiday meal for you.

I, on the other hand, am settling down to a cheese-stuffed mushroom, more cheese, different cheese, an apple, honey, and a glass of wine. A little fake news, a little Agents of SHIELD, should be a fine evening.

Not, I am sad to say, the delicious (I have been assured) honey from the wildlife refuge because they were out. But it's pretty good.

Oh man, you guys -- I just saw the new musical of Finding Neverland at the American Repertory Theater, and it was SO GREAT. Luckily, the only think I remembered about the movie was that I cried and cried, so I was prepared for that.... Choreography by SYTYCD's Mia Michaels and Melanie Moore was a featured dancer.

Crap, there's a lot of us with job issues. Did it used to be like this, or is this a function of the crap economy? SIGH.

Crap economy, from what I've been seeing/reading. I know a lot of people with job issues, and I am still agog at the turn of luck that landed me where I am.

Oooh, that sounds great, Jesse.

I can basically blame greed and incompetence. Sure, CSC is global, took a hit but they also are inept. The backtracking on policy when they discover new policy violates local labor law is insane.And my mission's budget is govt funded. But our budget increased post furlough (which we were insulated from due to main contract) and CSC pocketed the increase and fucked us over.

...yeah, I'm not really over mad. Fuck fair,even. The contract is fundamentally toxic to the mission. I want to drive them into the ground with NASA.

Sara, it definitely sounds like a new position (not with this subcontractor) is the way to go. Don't let them profit off you any longer!

Well, I want to profit off them first (matching retirement which I only get if I make it to jan 1.) and if main contract will jettison them without me having to switch jobs. A lot of unknowns, only some I have any leverage over.
