The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

They are letting us go at 3:00 today.

3:00 seems very very far away though.

mr. flea got sent home at 2pm today. I am not sure who did the sending, as he said there was nobody in the office. Then he got to meet the electrician and get an estimate for bringing our house up to modern and sane standards with respect to wiring. He reports: "Guy mentioned several times that it's going to be expensive." Oh, yay.

ION I looked up the form 990 of the organization for whose directorship I got headhunted yesterday. The retiring head made 3 times as much as I make in 2014. They are SO not going to hire me for this job.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It is just north of Denver. Tis a suburb.

Cool! ...Cause I'm gonna be there Sept 30th - Oct 3rd for a songwriters convention. Will you be around?

YES THEY ARE. And they are going to finally pay you what you are worth! Or at least more that you're making now ;)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Don't have much planned for the weekend, but I know I won't be catching up on my sleep. (Because baby. and cat.)

My boss snuck out at 2 today without telling us he was going. (Or letting us go too.) Totally typical of him.

Will you be around?

I should be! YAY!!

Work pushed a bit later than expected, but I'm ok with that, just wrapping up now and doing my timesheet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's so shitty. I've had jobs where none of the big bosses were in, so no one let people out early, but that is worse.

Current job never closes early before a holiday, but at least you can plan for that, too.

No reason that couldn't be you.

I must admit, I am tempted to go get a pumpkin latte just because I can. i don't even really like them that much (gingerbread lattes are my Starbucks crack of choice) but it is enticing. Ooh, maybe a pick-up-on-the-way-to-the-office treat for Monday.
