I tried pushing some books on the kids yesterday. I pushed Neverwhere on my daughter because I think she'd like it. My son is reading Sci-Fi lately so I'm pushing Dune, Neuromancer, and Snowcrash.

My son also is having a job interview for an internship at SAIC today.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

How lovely to wake up to two excellent pieces of news this morning!

I'm finding several versions of SAIC online, Gud. Which one is your son hoping to intern with?

He's not thrilled with the company and is hoping for an offer from another company.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Your son must be like three years old and can't possibly be old enough to intern anywhere.

Because books.

It's my weekend after my third week of training (got 100 on my test!) and I wake up to all kinds of good news! That's a trend I can get behind.

Excellent news on the Harvest, JZ!

And really excellent news on the MA program, Jessica!

And very wonderful news that you were not having a heart attack, Strix!

Now if it would just stop raining. Although I guess that's better than snow.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I was thinking that too, Dana.

You guys remember 2 years ago when I dropped everything and went to Colorado because my brother had relapsed super hard on drinking? Sunday he'll be 2 years sober again (he'll be off at his graduate program's retreat on Sunday, so I had to congratulate him today).

So we're texting each other stuff like "I am so damn proud of you for doing such hard work over the past 2 years" and "You are a big part of where I am today" and "Your work in therapy motivated me to get into therapy, so it's mutual."

And it concluded with "We are the GODDAMN BEST." Because we're so humble.

Exactly. But good luck to him with this early start!

Hooray for a good Harvest!

Congratulations, Jessica, that is so excited! Also, I would like to hear more about this program, sounds fascinating.

I made it in to work this morning. Yay? Three more days of this including today. Then I will have different things to complain about, but definitely a shorter drive, so that will be nice.

Aw, Tep, y'all are the best.
