Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

Connie, I've gotten a couple of pieces of art by 20×200. I just bought a frame but you can buy them framed. I was very happy with the quality of the print itself...I think it came flat but it's been 5 years so I'm not sure.

(Not sure of your taste, but I bought a Jennifer Sanchez piece and adore it.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Jesse, why would HR even entertain that? HR should've sternly reminded them of protocol and sent them off. That's just weird.

Working from home, sometimes I feel like I'm at a disadvantage because I'm not in the thick of office politics. Most times, I'm glad I'm not. I don't want to advance, just hang on until retirement, so I don't care.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, Calli!

On the good-news front, they said they would call by Thursday if my mammogram needed followup, and they haven't called!

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

That is good!

Connie, it sounds like they know the have a problem and have decided it's easier to do the refunds than fix the problem. So, yeah, if framed art is what you want don't count on them.

Have fun storming the gym, Laura!

I took a look at their selection, and they've got some really nice Japanese woodcuts. I'm looking for Art Deco-ish things, but I'll need to see what my wall space looks like after the furniture rearranging.

Our wings are not tired.

I lived! It was a very intense hour, but each person was doing their own thing and although clearly the oldest and largest I wasn't at all uncomfortable. So GF and I are scheduled to do this M-F at 5:30 PM. She wanted to do mornings, but I am not ready to give up my coffee and internet time. She is doing weekends too, but my body needs recovery time.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tonight Gary and I are going to a concert by the Four Bitchin' Babes. Should be fun, since we haven't seen them in a few years. (and especially since this lineup includes Christine Lavin.)

I've emptied out my file cabinet in anticipation of the junk people coming to take it away. I'm going through the files. Of course there's a lot of stuff of "Why the hell did I keep that?" but naturally a lot of "this makes me sad but I should keep it." Fortunately there's a lot of "Ha! This is lots of years old so I can dump it!" My shredder's going to get a lot of work.

We got a 20 yard dumpster yesterday and it's already half full. And I RIPPED a nail off tossing stuff in, which really fucking hurt. There's blood.

Ouch, a little less enthusiasm there, Strix!!
