And this is because you're hourly now, instead of salaried, right? So dumb. I hope it turns out to be a reasonably pleasant place to work.

It's been over ten years since I had a job that recognized national holidays other than Christmas and New Years

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yup. So far so good, I guess.
No long weekend here. Next company holiday is Thanksgiving. Makes for a long stretch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
[Canadian] Thanksgiving! (Columbus Day to you folk.)
Pretty sure it's Indigenous Peoples Day here, but the calendar still says Columbus.

I have gained a little weight and am trying to eat less candy, so every day I resolve "no candy" but then every day seems to boil down to "kill my husband, or eat candy?" and I eat candy. Sigh.
Home renovations, they're not for kids, folks, and my husband seems like he's actually a kid hiding in the body of a 6'6" 48 year old.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I'm sorry, flea. Husband is very good with a lot of things, but there are some other ones that make me want to strangle him.
I'm considering going to the ER for this migraine. Woo?

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
For those in need of good news: One of the new Nobel Laureates in Medicine is my PhD advisor's PhD advisor.
My advisor's postdoc advisor is also a Nobel Laureate, so I have two Nobel-winning grand-advisors!

Oh dear, flea and Dana. Dana, I would go to the ER, even if you wouldn't normally, given your trip, right? Ugh.
Very cool, Una!

Same, same.
Eventually, the totally unprecedented anxious-making things at work have got to stop, right? It's one thing that never happens after another!
