I'm still binge watching Doctor Who Seasons 8 and 9. Have been for a few months now. About half-way through season 8. I'm liking the relationship between Clara and Doctor 12.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

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.

Glad to hear your parents are okay, Maria. The destruction sounds terrible.

I am having a grumpy morning. And I'm grumpy about being grumpy. I mean, life is pretty good right now. My house is neat, housecleaners are coming today to get it sparkling. Jack is improving on dealing with strangers. Both my kids are in good relationships, have good jobs, and are healthy. I'm healthier than I have been in a while. School is good. Work is good.
Ok, I do have a work rant. Remember that raise and promotion I asked for MONTHS ago? Still hasn't worked its way through. HR did say that they can't justify the promotion (grade change) for now as I'm too far below the starting pay for the new grade. DUH, that is why I want the raise. So they are planning on a raise now (not sure when now really is), a larger than normal year end raise (in April) and grade change. Which, ok, fine. Just DO IT. My boss is trying the best he can but he keeps getting bounced around and dealing with different people and providing different justifications. And...I told him I'm tired of asking and he said to keep checking it. But dang...why is this so hard?!?!? If my whole management chain is supportive, come on...
Grumpy pants here.

I moved the couch about six inches out from the wall. The cats can't seem to decide if this is a sign of the pending apocalypse or a shiny new amusement park just for them.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
HR at the potential new job called and told husband that he's in the top 2, and he (HR) would be disappointed if they didn't pick him.
I am trying to not work myself up too much, because I will literally make myself ill with stress. But PLEASE JESUS let this work out.

Fingers crossed, Dana. Did HR dude give any timeframe? The waiting game is brutal.
