Thanks, you guys. On re-read, it's not quite there, but I think it could be something!
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
UGH, now I have to contact REFERENCES getting a job is so STUPID.

Good luck, Dana!

So, I had my meeting with boss to go over my appraisal, which was good, and surprise! I am eligible for a raise and it includes a "market adjustment" to bring us closer to the Bay Area norm for salaries. 12%! So that'll keep me feeling kindlier towards my job for a while.

Our wings are not tired.
ND, already in class, but I hope the classes go well. Your plate is so full.
Woot for the raise, -t!
Going to a basketball banquet thing tonight and thinking I should have had my nails done. Oh well.

Yay, raise!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That's pretty sweet, -t!
Hi M M, long time no see!
I am impressed at Jesse's wordcrafting!
The leave of absence idea was a bust—although the employee handbook includes it up to a year, she said they almost never approve >60 days, and it's usually for extraordinary circumstances. And that's not enough in my mind—I'd just return to the same mess! So sent the official email to my manager, and told one of my project managers, and am about to tell the other. Whew!
