You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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

Go lisah!

That sounds like anm irritating spot to be put in, Calli.

I am in the office after yesterday's holiday and there's one other person in my department here (he came in 10 minutes after me - it was eerily quiet up until then). I feel like I missed a memo.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Yay Lisa!!!

Ooh fingers crossed for the job thing Lisa! I got another “thanks for applying we will keep it on file” auto-email so guess I better do my job today. Sigh. I feel like in the past I never had trouble getting an interview (didn’t always wow after that but) but now can’t get one to save my life. Very frustrating!

I just attended the mandatory "workplace violence protection" meeting and it was essentially "you can see the plan online or in a binder on site. Sign something saying you've received training. The end"

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I don't know how I (briefly) posted an empty post! So I'm editing it to give it some words.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yay Lisa! I hope the offer arrived and was all you expected.

Punishingly Intricate

Our wings are not tired.

Today is indeed an Epic Day in Buffista land. Today we celebrate EpicTangent's birthday! May you have a wonderful day filled with treats, and may this year bring abundant good health and happiness.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Smonster, I’m glad you’ve arrived! I hope we have a chance to hang out soonish.

Calli, yes! Hopefully I will see you one way or another this weekend. I'm going to try and hit the Farmer's Market tomorrow, maybe I will see you there? I may also check out the Pride thing on Sat.

And I'm sorry about the work suck. I hate people who think they are too important for stuff. You're not Queen Charlotte, FFS.

meara, do you think that's because of the stupid keyword bs they use to sort resumes now? Seems likely to me.

Happy happy birthday to EpicT!! May you have the day that best pleases you.

Good luck, Lisa. Keeping metaphorical digits crossed for an offer.

Still plodding away at Moving Stuff. I changed my address with the local credit union (oh, NC SECU, how I have missed you) and messaged the DMV about what kind of appointment I need to make. Already changed over my car insurance, that's the important bit.

Had a video chat with a potential new therapist that I am super excited about. I see them in person Monday after work. I have a virtual visit with existing therapist today.

Other plans for today include hitting the Habitat Restore. I need bathroom storage and am hoping to score something there. Struck out at the thrift store by my house yesterday.

New housemate and I are getting along well. I am being much more cautious about boundaries than previously. She and the prior housemate had/have a more intense friendship than I think I want. Trying not to get too involved with her struggles, or involve her with mine. Emotional growth!
