They are having a surprise retirement party for a Senior VP right now. In fact, someone just popped out and offered to watch the front desk so I could go in for a bit and fix myself a plate. I suppose I could have hung out but I haven't actually met the guy who is retiring before so I felt totally awkward and just scurried out with my food.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

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

Good news and more good news, I got a good report on Gizmo's recovery this evening during my visit, AND one of the vet techs is thinking about taking him in now that he's moved into a new apartment. That would be pretty much ideal in terms of placement, a home with someone who takes care of animals for a living.

Our wings are not tired.
Good news, indeed! That is a delight to read, Matt.

Fingers crossed that Gizmo gets a vet-tech forever home.
I finished wreath making. Next up: pajama sewing. We are leaving for Idaho on Friday. So it will have to be done before then.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hooray, kitty.
I wish I could retire so I could spend literally every second of every day tweeting "Fuck you" at Sarah Sanders.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, that is good news, Matt!
There is a note on the reception desk that Jesus is on vacation until Jan 4. I guess that makes sense.
I mean, they could have given him until Three Kings' Day!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Aw, good news for Gizmo!
Casper ... is also taller than most of you
I can attest to that. And I'm not short.
My nephew turns 18 in a couple of days. I fully expect my brother and his girlfriend to announce their engagement at Christmas since my nephew's mother will no longer have custodial leverage.

You're a good cat angel, Matt.
Great. I can access the resume site from outside the internal network. Guess I'll be reviewing resumes when my family gets on my nerves on vacation.

I can retire in 7 years, 3 months, not that I'm counting.
I'm totally counting.
ETA: Good luck on your test, Mac!!!

Fingers crossed for Gizmo.
I went to the mall and the grocery store tonight with my mom, and it wasn't even that bad. Weird. ION, my Christmas shopping officially is done.
Would be more than happy to retire right now if it was financially feasible.
Wordy mcword. I need to sit down with a financial planner and figure out how soon I can retire.
