Timelies all!
Glad your nephew's surgery went well, Steph.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Okay, this is awesome: our nephew had his surgery in Columbus, which is about an hour away from where he lives. He needs to stay close to the surgery center until Wednesday for follow-up, so he rented an AirBnB. It’s at a farm, so he’s recuperating with goats and ponies wandering around outside his AirBnB. That fellow is living the damn dream.

That sounds nice!!
I’m kicking myself I finally remembered to request a refill and get it from the mail order place. That was probably over a week ago, today I thought “I should check when they’re sending so I’ll look out for it!” And when I went online the pharmacy didn’t have it listed…went to the doctor website and realized I requested from the wrong pharmacy and have to start over!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Still have a job. Job is still stupid.
Plan is become wealthy and stop work. Looking for leprechaun at lunch.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm glad you still have a job, msbelle. Good luck with Project Leprechaun.

Leprechaun~ma!
I apparently am getting a raise this year - 2% which I appreciate my boss not trying to say is a really good raise but it's better than nothing. They apparently don't want to announce a general merit increase because they are not giving them to everyone and I don't know how to feel about that. It's odd. The spin we are getting is that the Managing Director fought for any raises at all vs the owner since we had such a bad year revenue-wise and this is some sort of compromise. I don't know that I believe any of oit, honestly, but I'm not sure whether that matters, either, but it's weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is a good plan.

Oh hey, did I ever report back on last weekend's baking? The chocolate cake was a big hit, and they were OBSESSED with the bread! I mean, it was fine, but they really loved it. (It was this [link] including some buckwheat, so the color was cool.)

Oh good! I don't know if I've had buckwheat flour. I probably have some time or other, but all I can actually remember is the groats I have pretty often.

The bread sounds good—fresh bread is almost always worthy of awe in my book!
My boss has finally replied about the job with the mysteriously high salary range. Claims it’s not applicable exactly (bs) and that she has been told she can share the salary range but not in writing (more bs), we have a meeting Friday.
