I just had to kill a spider, and I blame all of your spider talk for that.
Darn your sinister attraction!

Jesse, it's a town job but in a very rural town.

Our wings are not tired.
TCG got fresh eggs in week 1 of presumably a non-chicken-related job? That sounds amazing!!
I love this. We already loved the new job for the commute, but lovely coworkers is icing on top.

I'm assuming this is not a "your paycheck this week takes the form of eggs" situation.

My agenda for today includes a department meeting, a meeting with my supervisor, a meeting with another department to fine tune a process that is kind of a mess, last minute whatever to not leave my backups with too much chaos in my accounts, laundry, packing, arranging the continued feeding of the cats, mowing the lawn, calling my dad to wish him a happy birthday, and hopefully getting some sleep before getting myself to the airport by 8:30 tomorrow morning (looks like catching the 6:12 train is the most efficient way to do that). Whee.
But then sincerely whee! once all that is done!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
We're all trying to get stuff done before Hurricane Flo makes landfall. I'm pretty sure we're far enough inland to be out of the worst of it, but the university is closing tomorrow at noon. (Which I appreciate. We're still expecting a lot of rain and flooding, and that would play havoc with my commute.)
Last night I used a service to pick up groceries for me. I had a first-time free delivery coupon code and a strong desire to not fight crowds for the last of the crackers. The shopper spent over 45 minutes in line at check out. I tipped her really well and considered it money well spent. Barring health or transportation issues, I don't see myself using this service regularly, but I'm definitely a fan.

No, -t he's getting paid in money. This is just a co-worker who happens to raise chickens.
I love this new job. He comes home for lunch and is home earlier most evenings so we're not rushing through dinner and bath.

ltc managed to spread her toys all over the area where our donated chair and loveseat used to be. So, Mom and I just reorganized all her toys. TCG is going to think he walked into the wrong house. Why didn't I inherit the organization gene?

That sounds great, sj!
I am wanting it to be Thursday but only in a "then it will be closer to the weekend" way. I slept in my own bed last night and thought maybe since I'd been getting up at 7am east coast time it would be easier today to get up on pacific time. But no.
