All right, nobody fall over. Including Steph's Dad.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Oh, Dad of Tep. He's very consistent. I hope he does whatever turns out to need doing to maybe not do that anymore. Can I make that sentence more convoluted and opaque? It would be hard.
He says he doesn't remember passing out
I am casting my mind back to the times I have passed out, and I can't say I ever remember them, exactly. I remember feeling kind of dizzy or just odd and then waking up, usually.
Yikes, Sheryl!

Parents, man.
I know, right?! I hope everything is good with your dad, and that he learns to TELL PEOPLE about this stuff.
(When I saw my dad and his ladylove last week, I turned to her and casually said, "So, any medical stuff he's forgotten to tell me?" Dad said "HEY!", Patty reassured me that there wasn't.)

ION, work nonsense has resolved, I am still employed, and there is no extended nonsense. Still full of meh about the whole thing, though.

Glad the nonsense is ended at least Atropa. I get the lingering Meh.
Aw, I reached out to my contact at JCP and she's so glad to be working with me again. It's so nice! At least everyone who isn't my company's upper management makes me feel like a valuable worker.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So far, all Dad's tests and CT scan have had normal results.
That's good news!
I'm enjoying my new job so far, but DEAR GOD the coffee situation in this office. Not like my old place was a gourmet coffee shop either but at least those pods managed to squeak out a halfway decent espresso. This poor machine gave me half an inch of lukewarm brown water.

I'm sorry, Jessica. That is a trial.

Is a fifty-cent-an-hour raise considered good nowadays?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I mean, it's $1000/year, so not amazing, IMO.
At least everyone who isn't my company's upper management makes me feel like a valuable worker.
That's something!
Got my eyes dilated, so I'm hoping I can actually touch-type, because I can't really see the screen right now....
I said to the eye doctor, "I'm having trouble adjusting between near and far, but is that just because...." He was like, "You can say it" "....I'm old?" Yeah, just because I'm old. I like my sardonic eye doctor.

Our wings are not tired.
That bridge collapse in Miami looks scary, Laura. I hope everyone's OK.
It is so scary. The same people did the Tampa Bay huge bridge that I avoid like the plague. Story sharing time. My dad was a civil engineer for the State of NY. Every time we went over a bridge he would say to us, "Remember this bridge was built by the lowest bidder." Thanks for the lifelong bridge fear, Dad! Of course he did quality control stuff and I would trust any bridge he supervised because he was brilliant.
I haven't heard any thing from local peeps on the casualties.
Yay still being employed, Atropa. Yeah, I get the meh.
Lukewarm brown water is a completely unacceptable substitute for espresso. Not. On.
