Too grim. Cannot cope

Flying to Belfast on Tuesday back Weds, Friday I'll be spending in Bristol and Cardiff, all on the company. Subsistence allowances covers £20 for eating out or a 3 course meal in the hotel with half a bottle of wine. Nowhere does it say you have to have a standard wine. Most expensive bottle on the wine list here I come.

[Tiste Simeon]

Man if I still lived in Cardiff I'd come& join you with that bottle!

[Ukjent]

Going to visit a firm and get a free lunch, wohei.

Mate at work took yesterday off so he could watch the Stupor Bowl.

Did I mention he's a mad Denver fan?

I kept an eye on the live score updates and the texts I sent him and his increasingly desperate replies helped me through a rather icky Monday morning. I'm still chuckling.

Birthday steak with my wife tonight!

I was going to put this in the messin with my groove thread, but my groove cannot be messed with. I'm so psyched that I'm not going to let the guy who ran a stop sign where my children's bus stop is located, and after I mouthed the word "asshole" he got out of his truck and tried to get in my face, ruin everything.

Three things kept me from pounding the ever-loving snot out of this guy and they are as follows:

1. It's potentially horrifying for little girls to see their dad in a fight. Also, one never knows who will come armed to a fist fight, and any guy willing to stop his vehicle in the middle of the road to make up for his lack of substantial genitalia vis a vis fisticuffs is probably willing to take it to the next level.

2. I haven't been in a fight in over 10 years. Who knows if I could have taken this guy? Then I'm in the hospital, or police station (he was the aggressor cuz he got out of his truck and approached me, but not everyone would see it that way) and I don't have the freedom to go getting into fights; I got a family to take care of.

3. I get to interview Jack Gantos today. This is the main reason I am so pumped about today. I don't wanna screw it up or show up with a split lip or black eye to the school where he is speaking. Gotta be professional when you meet a successful writer.

Anyway, so hopefully my wisdom and patience wins the day, and this interview goes over well, cuz I REALLY wanted to fuck that guy up.

My husband just got offered a huge promotion that will pay 20,000 more a year.

[Ukjent]

Congratz!

[Dolmen 2.0]

WOW, congrats Stormcat. That's so awesome.

I got an interview today that may see me working for a large architecture firm. Been waiting for a chance like this since I graduated and I am freaking out, but in a good way...I think. Anyways I'm super excited!

[TheRetiredBridgeburner]

Congrats Stormcat!

Typing test with an agency went really well yesterday so the job hunt is on! Essentially there's plenty to like about my current job except the fact the workflow is so inconsistent and that I work with a bunch of passive-aggressive territorial secretaries who are little better than children. I'm a float, so I cover for them in all departments when they're sick/on holiday/too busy, and there's a lot of bad feeling from a couple in particular who feel nobody can do their work except them. It's a very bitchy, nasty environment and between that and the terminal boredom I've had enough.

After a couple of years of lack of steady jobs, it's nice to be in the position of job hunting whilst having a job so I can hold out for something that's good rather than being desperate so taking anything that comes my way.

[Ukjent]

Found out there may be a hope in satan what I can get into to the master studies I'm considering. But then again the pay as an engineer isn't that bad.

[Tiste Simeon]

Wow Stormcat good news! I presume a shopping trip is on the horizon?

Just think of all the books! I am buying my whole Amazon wish list! Plus I get to tell people I am banging a rocket scientist. Life is good.

[worry]

Is your man up for some non-sexual polyamory?

[Stormcat]

Yes. And we are totally up for a non sexual sister wife. or I could introduce you around the aerospace office and you could catch yourself a fine nerd like I did.

[worry]

I'd be more like a sister-husband. Maybe more like a house husband. But it'd be my house. So perhaps even more like a penpal to whom he sends monthly checks.

[TheRetiredBridgeburner]

The above is sounding very Aiel all of a sudden....

Happy? The other half picked Gardens of the Moon back up recently and having nearly finished, he declared today "You know it's way more interesting than I thought it was, can I borrow number two?"

This was after spending the first five minutes of the book telling me everything that was wrong with it and seemingly determined to hate it on principle.

Game. Set. Match.
