Petting chonky dogs for the win!
I move that shrift and Dana relocate to the same city. Call for seconds.
I think the fact that I'd rather be too cold than too hot is a fundamental stumbling block, but I'm willing to entertain your motion.

I was offered and accepted a job today! It is part time and entry level (not as a librarian) but for a small specialized library (Teppy, The Merc) with only six people and there’s potential. Or it could be something I do for a year while I figure out what’s next. Watch Facebook because it’s a completely fabulous space that I will show off once I start.
Feels weird but mostly good? Forgot what good feels like.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

flea, that’s awesome—go, you! And it really is gorgeous.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay flea!!!!!

I suspected that might be an issue, but have you considered shrift and Dana move to Hawaii?

Our wings are not tired.
Nice, flea! Very exciting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I would rather live somewhere that's not going to be miserable in the next twenty years due to climate change. Not feeling super-optimistic about that.

Yay! flea!
In less dramatic but still good work-related news, between Tuesday morning and late this afternoon I've gone from being in an anxiety tailspin about not knowing... well, much of anything about an imminent project to feeling I have a pretty good grasp of the overall setup, and getting the okay to bring in my preferred vendor for subcontracting the nuts-and-bolts work. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Imposter Syndrome!

Nice, Matt!
I just a delicious rice and beef bowl and really good crispy tofu bites from a local place. And I went to the gym. Unrelated except that if I hadn't been at the gym, I might not have picked up takeout on the way home.
My root canal is Monday. I'm pre-indulging myself?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Good news, Drew! Despite the delays.
Woot, Calli! Good luck on the interview.
Hey, good on the lesser commute, shrift.
Good luck on the reshuffling, -t.
I'm glad your job continues to not try to kill you, Theo.
Hooray for chonky bulldog birthday pets! And drinks with friends.
I'm so sorry about the condo buildings. I hope everybody is found and in good condition.
Yay, Matt. I'm glad you can see the back of Impostor Syndrome!
Congratulations, flea! Can't wait to see the pics.
Yay gym and happy supper, JenP. And may your root canal go without problems.
It is hot here--but I have AC. I'm afraid to laugh in the face of hell, though--the transformer could blow--just to pay me back for laughing.
