'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

When I had charge of a diabetic cat a couple of years ago, the best price for insulin we could find was at a Costco. I don't know the laws in other states, but in MA, you cannot operate a pharmacy without it being open to the general public, so you could get a dispensation from the security greeter and go in.

Since then, Walmart announced that they had lower-cost insulin, so it's worth checking out. For most things I'd avoid a Walmart visit, but when it's cheap insulin all the guilt is off.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I put my hummingbird feeder out on May Day, but only saw my first visitor just now. It has cheered me up immensely this morning.

Thanks. I needed that.

Coding and Sleeping

I have a recruiter putting me up for a job at the Fed that's pretty up there and represent a big salary increase. Almost hate to ask to ask for job~ma right now when I've already got a perfectly good job that pays a good amount. I don't feel like I have a very good shot though, partly because it's hard to imagine getting a job that pays that much.

That never hurts to try, Gud!

Thrive to spite them

Lots of jobma to you Gud. My brother got his current position because he decided to apply for an open spot that was a couple levels above his after only being at his employer for a few months just to get his me out there. He didn't expect to get the job but he did.

I'm sending lots of vibes that will happen for you

Our wings are not tired.

Job~ma! Imagine it! I can imagine you succeeding.

Good luck with that, Gud! Working for the Fed is a great gig. EM worked for the SF office for years and I used to temp there all the time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Job~ma, Gud!

Hooray hummingbird!

Coding and Sleeping

I need to take a technical assessment by the end of this weekend on 'Cloud Computing'. I know how to do cloud stuff, but that's an awfully ambiguous name. Think I'll brush up on jargon and architecture best practices.
