Jesse, a friend I've known for nearly 30 years transitioned a few years ago, and I'm still stumbling over pronouns now and again, although at least I get his "new" name right most of the time. I can only hope it's easier with someone that I've not had so much history with!
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

The good part of working from home is I was able to take my migraine pill, take an hour nap, and feel better and return to work.
I stopped at McDonald's to use the WiFi before going somewhere else...since when are value meals $10?!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Your resume shouldn't be double-spaced, Theo. And two pages is fine!

Yeah, I think I'll be fine in person, but screw up constantly in my head for a while. If I can keep it mostly that way, I'll call it a win.

Also, that is not a value, meara!

Recruiters tell me that number of pages isn't really a big deal anymore and generally more is better.

Man, there's nothing like getting your first car. Good for him.

Couple of cosmetic issues, but I think I can fix them up. For $2,500 it's not bad at all.

Sorry for the curt reply earlier,work is bonkers & I'm kinda reluctantly coming to terms with this. Past 6 months, I've had progressive, fucking shocking joint pain. Knees first, then feet, fingers, wrists. The hands really have knocked me down every which way, because it was too painful to swim & then everything at work piled up, so even good days, I was putting in extra hours. Losing that routine for whatever reason was bad, and didn't help. Everything points to rheumatoid arthritis- my mom got hit with it in her 20s. Once I got over denial (not really, still hoping) started the go-see-a-fucking-Dr-ball.
And that's where I am. Making rheumatologist appt tomorrow because I have to work 4-midnight & didn't have the chance the last 2 days. So.
