Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Gud, it is good to know she is doing better. Thank you so much for keeping us updated. Please remember we can make phone calls, order groceries, find people to clean your house, etc., all from inside this box. If you need real people, there is a way to make that happen for you, too.

So I've been stressing out the last couple of weeks about this thing that is due TODAY, and I've been procrastinating big time and waiting until the ABSOLUTE LAST MOMENT, and I just went and finished it and it only took a half hour, and it wasn't a big deal. Huh.

Tom, that is the story of my life. I've been trying to implement a "do the thing, don't overthink the thing" policy at work, but I have better days than others.

So, do you guys remember I told you I had an interview with the National Archives in London? It went really well! They offered me the job! Then, it seems I misunderstood the immigration question on the application. Although I was eligible to apply for the job, I am not eligible to work in the UK, and they are not able to sponsor me for a visa. So job offer was withdrawn! It's been a roller coaster of a week.

Our wings are not tired.

Gud, thank you so much for the update. You and your family are on my mind and in my heart.

This morning I subscribed to The Washington Post and read about four articles on how Trump sucked last night.

I haven't even had a chance to read the articles yet, but I am delighted that I stayed up way past my bedtime to watch the show. I am proud of my candidate.

Oh I have so BTDT! But have I learned, no I have not.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, Sue. That blows.

I'm glad she's doing better, Gud.

I am logged into an all-hands meeting, but instead of paying attention, I'm watching Fringe.

Sue! What a roller coaster indeed. Sorry for the disappointment, but yay for being offered the job.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man, Sue! That is a roller-coaster. If nothing else, I hope you take away from this (and the Poland thing) that you are a hot ticket! And can definitely get a new job you (a) want and (b) are eligible for.

That is always, always the way. Always.

That's a terrible roller coaster, Sue.

Came by to see comments on the shit show debate and want to extend my good thoughts to Gud and family. How utterly terrifying for all of you. Sending so many healing wishes your way.

Thanks guys. I am still pretty gutted, but I do realize it was a compliment that they wanted me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Continuing the ~ma, Gud.

Wow, Sue! That's a lot to react to.

My candied bacon came out ok but the hard boiled eggs did not. Story of my life.
