Whoa. You aren't blackmailing commissioners, are you, Tom?
Congrats, Laura!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I think I actually am done, and I'm amazed I made it to 3pm!

An escape goat should be one a monkey rides to freedom.
But monkeys don't ride goats, they ride lambs.

Thanks to end of fiscal year nonsense, the contract job I accepted no longer exists. The agency is already submitting me for another contract, but G-D DAMMIT.

I was totally trying to get away with conflating sheep and goats. Foiled!
Sorry to hear that, Atropa. That's a pretty big rug to have pulled out from under you.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, Atropa. I hope the wait isn't long.
Job for #1 was a bust. Not remotely like discussed and 100% commission so I went and fetched the boy. Try, try again.

Oh no! Bad job news x2. Here's hoping for better news soon.

Aw, man. Sympathies, Atropa and Laura, it's never fun to have the rug pulled out from under you.
I just realized I never let you guys know about how the apartment fire issues were resolved: The moving and cleaning guys never got a specific coverage amount before starting work, (the insurance company just said "plenty") so they never warned me about nearing the limit. The movers wound up agreeing to accept just the coverage amount, which I suspect should be filed under, "White guys play life on easy mode."
So that's taken care of, but my contract that kept the rent the same as at the old place runs out in August, so who knows where the rent is going to wind up. I may start looking into local townhouses.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am trying desperately not to nap after the Indian food we had for lunch. For values of "trying" that don't include actually getting up.
