Health~ma for everyone!
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

I haven't really mentioned it anywhere yet, but: I got a job! I start on Aug. 5th.
ION, the Throwback Thursday photos I posted on FB make me want to go back, shake my younger self, tell her that she deserves to be treated better by guys she dates, and that she is WAY cuter than she thinks.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I was sorely tempted on Prime Days by a robotic vacuum and the super-cheap Fire Stick, but was able to stick with the boycott by virtue of finally figuring out how to hook up my Wi-Fi enabled BluRay (YouTube on my TV! So exciting!) and finding a similarly-priced vacuum on Zulily. It shipped today, so I don't love it yet, but I'm super-anticipate-y!
Glad to hear good news about J, sj!
Plenty of ~ma for your son, Cindy!
Who feels like a little writing project? I'm working on my goals (since my immediate supervisor retired, and the dept head keeps forgetting that we exist, my little group hasn't gotten our 2019 goals submitted yet, oops!) I've got a nice little BS collection that's probably good enough to submit, but I feel like I'd like to say something about "managing to cover the most necessary of my former supervisor's duties while still doing my own job" (the "and not killing anyone" is implied) But can't think of a proper way to phrase it so that it will get through as a goal and not just look like sarcasm and bitching. Help?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yay! I saw your posts on Tumblr asking for good vibes. That's excellent news!

OH MY GOD SO CUTE. Those pictures are adorable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Health-ma to your kid, Cindy!
Congrats, Atropa!

Hopefully it makes it through my manager.

Hey. New board.
We love our robot vacuum. It traveled to Brazil with us. We call it Mose.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Healthma to your youngest, Cindy.
Yay, Atropa!
Took today off, but not for fun reasons. Finally got an appointment with the child psychologist at 10 today(where Mr. S demonstrated many of the behaviors we've been dealing with) and dropped Mr. S off at his "camp" after. Since I would have to pick him up at 3, there was no point in me going to work.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congrats, Attila! (Ha, autocorrect, I kinda like it! Atropa, of course)
I have had a weird day. Pretty much all day meeting with one of my more challenging customers (although it might be our salespeople who are more the source of the challenges), briefly interrupted by the employee sample sale (only spent $2 because I only had $2, sample sale is cash on the barrelhead) with surprise ice cream, and ending with a sort of epilogue of the head of the company ( or the new managing director, the founder and owner who I have only seen in quasi-ceremonial situations score) lecturing the salespeople (and incidentally me) about What Is Wrong With Our Company. I guess I can be glad that it is not primarily me, or Operations. And he made some good points, but I don't know what to really do with them.
