msbelle, I hate when that happens. Either put me in a full-blown attack or leave me the hell alone. Can we do anything for you?

I am now looking at real estate while I wait for info from other people for work. I found a rowhouse in sarameg's neighborhood that two people could easily share. 3718 Rexmere for those so inclined to go looking.

Also there are 2 townhouses in this small development near me within walking distance to a bookstore, a fruit/veggie stand, a Mediterranean restaurant, and schoolyard/park. I think we could slowly but surely take over the whole place. 1 & 2 story 2 & 3 bedroom townhomes with private patios and a community pool. Less than $200k each. Just sayin.

McCain came out against the health care bill? Thank god.

This probably means the bill is dead, but I won't breathe a sigh of relief until that shitbag McConnell announces there won't be a vote on it.

OK, I have to share something ridiculous that just happened: I was in my office in a meeting, when Fancy Colleague called and left a voicemail and then called again. But, you know, none of our work is really urgent, so I figured I'd call back after my other meeting. In the meantime, his assistant has also emailed to follow up.

Turns out, what they needed was two tiny things added to a document I had sent them. And why didn't they do it themselves? It was "Read Only."

Haha. Ha. Ha.

I have to tell the assistant, right? She should know better.

-t, it's unfortunate you have to deal with this, but it sounds like there could be some positivity from the move. I hope so. And I'm sorry you have to leave your coworkers, where you've become somewhat comfortable.

Change is just hard.

Ugh, -t, I'm sorry you're dealing with that

Jeez, -t, that sucks.

So the area in PR my family rented a house over Xmas in the late 90s is under emergency evacuation orders because a dam is in imminent danger of failing ( near Isabela.) I'd been google map viewing it today because I wondered how it was faring. Now I know. Uhg.

Because bus cranky for today, I called a white dude out for being an entitled asshole in the pool. He slunk off, but he probably wrote me off as a crazy bitch. I swear to god, if there's 2 or more white guys in the lap lanes, one is bound to piss me off demonstrating entitlement.

Epic, I'm so sorry. this has been so hard

-t, best of luck

And why didn't they do it themselves? It was "Read Only."

Oy and vey.

-t, work stress is stressful. Added commute time would be a dealbreaker for me. But I've never had a rough commute with any of my job/living locations, so there is that. Today I had to drive 30 minutes to the office and it really wasn't that bad. I think it is more the idea of it. Again, my take for me. I think if I had a decent public transportation option, I'd take advantage of the time and read or finally listen to a podcast or 10.

I hope they are open to the title adjustment, giving up pay and off hours time should have some benefit beyond "you still have a job so live with it".

I think we could slowly but surely take over the whole place.

I need to plan an exploratory visit before a subscribe to your newsletter.

He slunk off, but he probably wrote me off as a crazy bitch.

Oh well. As long as he crawls back into his entitled hole and stays there, whatever.

Epic, I'm so sorry. So many hugs.
