I just had a non-work-related coffee with someone, but I think I'm going to leave anyway.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I really have to get this damn report done so I can be ready for my conference call tomorrow. Perhaps music would help.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am slightly amazed that the House backed down on the ethics office.
I am quite surprised, but it makes me suspicious. What are they really planning? Though Steph makes a good case for them testing the boundaries and Paul Ryan failing.
Today I went out for a delicious lunch with a friend, and I'm making good progress on the vacation backlog at work. I'll be working late tonight, but I don't really mind it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday shrift!
Had my last physical therapy session today! Yay!

A combo of boundary testing and distracting from the fact that they're starting their attacks on the ACA today as well?

In other news, did I tell you people I'm a finalist for a new job? And I had always heard the benefits there were good, but man, they are really good. Since I'm over 40, they will put 10% of my salary into the retirement plan. Not a match, just in there, with vesting in 3 years. (Under 40, you get 5%.)

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Dang, that's nice! My company does 3% (which I don't consider chopped liver—hey, free money!).

Ooh. Good luck, Jesse!

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but still.
