You'll be great, Dana!
So.... I did get the job! The salary offer isn't as much as I want, but if they can come up just a tad, I'll be happy. It's contingent on them talking to my current boss, which I think is TOTAL BULLSHIT, but OK. I mean, it's bullshit if they would ever pull the offer after I've already given notice, because how else could they talk to my current supervisor?
Go Jesse! That seems like a weird contingency unless the organizations are connected in some way.
I am against this whole sickness and mortality thing. Enough is enough.
I went to bed before 9 last night and still could not drag myself out of bed this morning. I'm at work, but no shower and no breakfast, I guess it's good I managed pants. And I think I have enough change in my purse to get something for lunch out of the vending machine. What a stupid day.
Yeah, I'm worried today because it looks like my mom's lung cancer has moved to her bones. Not a good sign, but we knew this was likely, given that she has not accepted treatment (it's her third go-round with cancer--she's had surgery and chemo twice before and decided at age 86, that she'd rather not go through it again). They aren't 100% certain yet, but it looks extremely likely.
She meets with her oncologist on Thursday and we find out more. I am less worried about her dying, which we've all known is coming, than I am about her being in pain. Here's hoping there is ameliorative treatment so that she can continue to enjoy her life.
Because it deserves its own post--congrats on the job, Cowgirl!
Great news, Jesse!
Much health~ma to go around.
Something I get tired of hearing is how Trump is being clever with the way he handles the media. He's not fucking clever, he just lies all the time.
I went to the eye dr. No change from last year, just need glasses for distance. So keeping my glasses and this time I got the prescription in sunglasses. First choice was the cheapest pair in the place. Whee!
Scrappy, best wishes to your mom and to you!

I mean, they are connected in some way, but I think this is their SOP. Although when my last team member left for the same new place, no one framed their call to me in this way! But I guess it was the same situation, and my team member was just awkward in saying it.
