The rule I've heard is to dress like you've already got the job--which presumes you know what the job is, I guess.
Right. Sir. Honey.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
FFS. If I had been even slightly more effective at work earlier this week, I would not have been there until 7 tonight. But I wasn't, so I was. And I have a little to do tomorrow. But still: Vacation!

I've been sooper effective and there still aren't hours in the day tomorrow to get everything done before I disappear for a week. And I kicked off a project that needs handholding. BUT if they handhold it right, they might be able to finish it for me while I'm gone. Woo!
Maria, the PIP is complete ass covering bullshit and everyone knows it. Ugh.
Laundrating, bed,asking, starting to pack. Well, once the laundry is done. And then I find out how much of my summer not work clothes are still presentable. I'd like to at least be wearing things without holes in them.

Oy, Maria, Sorry for the bullshit.
I need to pack tomorrow for vacation. We have a medical test for Grace tomorrow, which Katie is going to, then I have to pull all of our shit together to leave. Among the things we are packing? Pool noodles! Cheese! Prosecco!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I wish I was within arm's reach, Maria. I'd like to beat your boss stoutly about the head and shoulders. Same goes for Steph's boss.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Maria and Steph, you both deserve bosses who appreciate how awesome you are.
In other news, someone set up a crowdfunding campaign to bail out Greece.

A million euros in three days. Nifty.
I like the sound of your Things to Pack, Kat!

I have a nearly full bottle of vermouth to get through before I move. What are some cocktails I should make with it?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
shrift, sweet or dry? I really like making this sangaree with dry vermouth: [link] - you don't even need the Allspice Dram.

Punting packing. Carried the suitcase upstairs. Realized dress I want to pack is air drying, used that as an excuse. Hell, it's only 11 days, most at my parents' where I can alway do laundry.
