I really mean it! I knew some time ago that something big was about to happen, and could feel it when it did happen, but it took a while to feel the effects. The end result is....I've gotten a promotion! I'm now middle management with a much larger salary and direct reports! I can't believe it! I was floored when they told me they were ( Read more... )

On the way home tonight, someone hit a puppy just before we topped the rise. The puppy wasn't in a fenced yard and wasn't leashed. The person who hit the puppy had pulled over and someone ran to the house where it belonged, but no one went near the puppy. I couldn't just stand there and watch it in its death throes, all alone. I knelt by him ( Read more... )

Well, we picked up our Zoo Doo yesterday. It went pretty smoothly, only took half an hour to actually load up the truck, so we ended up with somewhere between a quarter and a half ton of poo.

Of course, procrastination is ( Read more... )

I am so stoked! I interviewed this morning for a job that I'm really pumped up about. I'd be supporting the three top executives in the company and NO ONE'S EVER HELD THE JOB BEFORE! That means I'd be entering a totally clean slate. We'd all be able to develop our relationships with each other without any prejudices from a predecessor. What an ( Read more... )

You Are 31 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe ( Read more... )

Many thanks to those of you who sent condolences, warmth and love in response to my posting the other day. Athena will always be in my heart, as will my first cat, Frodo (isn't it odd how some names keep cropping up in one's life?), but I know they're both now somewhere filled with sunbeams to loll in and pixie motes to chase. The rest of our ( Read more... )
