At my old office, we had big orange stickers to put on large trash items, and they read "TRASH / BASURA".
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Em is heading into her last year of high school. It's crazy. Leif will be a sophomore.
Impossible! I thought for sure you meant they were taking the ACT in that whole "kids in middle school sometimes take in order to get fancy summer college programs and stuff"!!!

Which makes oodles of sense. If the Wet Floor placards can be multi-lingual, other stuff should be.
I have gotten way too comfortable with monoculturalism. I need to kick myself in the brain more and get out of my comfort zones. I'm still not eating a lengua burrito. I've picked up that much Spanish living here to know what the menu board is saying.

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

There must be some kind of time warp happening. That shouldn't be possible.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Our trash stickers here are in English, Spanish, and Bosnian.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
They still haven't talked salary, but they're starting the background check, so. I asked if maybe he should bring it up, but his recruiter has advised against it.

Hi, Sheryl. How is the little guy feeling today?

Salary~ma, Dana! I hope the location is a pleasant one.
I got my official "we'll keep you another year" letter from HR, with a bit of a raise included. I'd prefer permanent and reasonably recompensed (wouldn't we all), but it beats a kick in the pants.
