This is no way to run a job market, Calli, that's for sure. I'm sorry you're in the mire.

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

Yeah, Hegseth grinds my gears too. Mostly that there is anyone who thinks he is a. normal or 2. harder-working than I. So sorry your daughter isn't well, Plei. Hope something will start helping soon.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh, Plei. Too much. Sending so much love.

In other news, I’m having a colonoscopy in the morning and am wallowing in the misery of prep. I know it is so important, and I’m glad I’m doing it. Also, uggghhhhhhhh.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Just had mine yesterday, Pix, so I am with you in the unpleasantness of the preliminary steps. The procedure itself is a piece of cake in comparison though. May yours go smoothly and come back all clear.
Apparently I went into AFib while under sedation, so I get the fun follow-up Monday with my GP and probably a referral to a cardiologist. Rats, I thought my heart health was doing pretty well, so this is new and unwelcome information.

Aw, bummer, sj. Does this mean she misses her concert?
Happy scoping, Pix. Now that the yuck part is over, it's super easy, as I'm sure you know.
Having a holiday lunch with some friends today, so that'll be fun.
DH's back thing is acting up again, so he has an appt. for Monday at 7a, where I hope they can just do another ablation right away -- technically it's an eval, but last time they did the ablation immediately. Pain go away ~ma would be welcome!
And I sent out all my "required" holiday cards. I'm sure I'll add a few, but it still feels like an accomplishment.

Well, that's a bummer. Have you ever had Afib (that you know of) before? Sending good vibes.
ETA: Oh, you kind of already answered that it's new. My bad. Still sending good vibes.

Punishingly Intricate
That’s unnerving about the AFib, Matt. (Autocorrect tried to make AFib “aging” which ha ha ha we KNOW that, universe).
We got to Michigan yesterday and are having a lovely snowy morning. Much nicer than yesterday’s cold rain.

Thanks Jen. Yeah, I never noticed any irregular rhythms previously and only racing heartbeat during strenuous exertion or panic attacks, so this is a new one on me. I felt absolutely fine and normal upon waking up, so hopefully it's not serious or having dangerous effects on my system.
