I need to provide a photo and a "what are you most excited about" blurb for my new job and I swear this is more stressful than my annual self-appraisal.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Yay, big piles of good news in here today!
Congrats, Jess, that's so exciting! (Grad school, the work blurb, less so).
Congrats JZ & Bro! Goooooo Stem Cells!
I could stipulate to Gud's son being 7, maybe 8, but I still wish him well with an internship he can be excited about!
Yay Steph & Bro!
Yay Strong Testing Amy!
Matt, glad to hear that things were okayer than not. Hope today goes easy on you.
If I missed anybody, I promise I was cheering as I read, just not able to meara at the moment.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just take a picture of your back and say "Most excited about getting the FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!!"
Or no?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA.
True, but...no. Probably shouldn't.
I don't actually have that many recent photos of me. The only one I have that isn't me with my entire family is from the Ren Faire, but considering the audience that might be okay.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ren Faire sounds like a good choice.
Yikes, Matt, hope your day is easy.
We just had a fire drill which I obediently went out for without stopping by y desk for my coat etc. (I was coming back from the mail room wondering why our Safety Guy was here when it went off) and now my headcold feels extra crushy. Bah.
Woo Amy! (missed the test score in all the other news, somehow, sorry!)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
After six weeks, the renovation of our master bath is done!! Well, the bathtub will be arriving next week, but everything else is done. Taking the first shower in there tonight! Soon as the tub is in, I'll post pictures WHICH WILL BLOW YOUR MINDS AT THE GORGEOUSNESS.
The work team was great, but it will be so nice not to have Other People in my house from 9-5 every day.

I AM SO BORED. I came to work today to (a) return my computer equipment and (b) leaving drinks.
Well, (a) turns out I'm going to keep my current laptop for a few more days because my new office won't have one ready in time for Monday, and (b) I think nobody is going to show up because most folks are over at our other location that's closing today packing up! Should have stayed home!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I hope your son finds an internship that's fulfilling, Gud.
Congrats, Bro-of-Steph!
And congrats to you on the shiny master bath, Scrappy!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Steph, that was 2 years ago?! Wow. Congrats to him, and yeah, y'all are the best!
Matt, holy shit, I'd need two days sleep to recover from that. I hope you get as much as you need! Glad your parents are okay.
Yay for test scores and new bathroom, boo for having to write blurbs and find photos!
Gud, best of luck to your son for finding the right program for him.
Y'all, I'm trying to diet and failing miserably. Like, I want to lose 20 pounds, but my subconscious says Fuck it, we're fine, let's eat pizza, and the subconscious always wins.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay Jessica and yay for good cell harvest!
