Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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.
Congrats on the great timing, shrift!
After a rocky start the weekend finished up pretty good. I got assorted household chores done to make my place presentable by the time the Golden Globes started, including assembling a bamboo shelf stand to replace the rickety and bowed corner shelf I had in my living room. (Pictures to follow once I figure out placement and get display items moved onto it.) Also, after laundering bed linens I managed to fold a fitted sheet into something very like a rectangle and fit it and the rest of the set into the package a new set came in: [link]

(and holy wow, 17.5 years??)
I know, right?! How is such a thing even possible?
when I left my last job, the transition to COBRA was not smooth, and took longer than I expected, almost six weeks.
Thanks for the caution, dcp! I had a feeling that this was going to be a pain.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, shrift, congrats!
I somehow drifted away from checking here, too, so: Hello! I still have my one job.

OMG, I just read Beep Me, and that is devastating to learn about Norah. I guess everyone else has already worked through it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's still pretty upsetting
