It's still kind of unexpected to have Coworkers and things like Holidays Off.
In a good way, right??
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Definitely in the good way -- these are nice people, for sure.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My condolences, Plei.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I just got a Facebook notice that it is my (deceased) uncles birthday. Should we have done something to switch the account?
Sophia, do you mean to make it a memorial account, or deactivate it? There's info here on doing either; you have to be able to demonstrate that you're an immediate family member or the executor for removal.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Snow is pretty to look at when you have power and no place else you have to be. It's a misery to have to travel in. To a greater or lesser degree depending on the judgement of other drivers.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Zenkitty - don't forget about the consequences to your income tax preparation. Most freelancers receive a form 1099-MISC. Will your employer be withholding any taxes for you? Will you be filing a Schedule C? Will you be able to claim any expenses?
Employer will not be doing any withholding. I'll be hiring a tax preparer next year to make sure I get everything done right. I should be able to claim expenses.

Make sure you set aside at least 30% for taxes from the very beginning!
In other news, we're looking at 4 feet of snow in the Sierra. If we can get there, the skiing will be great. If.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Before we picked up StE's ashes, I searched for antique and vintage silver snuffboxes, pillboxes, and matchsafes, H spent some time spooning a thimbleful of ashes into each container and soldering them closed.
That's lovely, Bev.

Good luck getting there Suela!
I'm shocked there are no posts since I last read here, last night! Are all our east coasters already on turkey break?
