    Thanks, Nanci. 5 days of TD was overwhelming.

    Queen - should I offer congratulations? The old old job provides a paycheck which is a good thing. But is the same job a good thing? Just curious. Sometimes you don't know until you try something different.

    I didn't know about DirtDiva's new bike. Is it holly-proof?

    I've got my fingers crossed for Lise.

    Nice summary, Nanci. You should write for Cliff Notes.

    Good luck on the interview, Kit!

    Happy Friday - most of my work for the day is done. What a relief. Including a deposition of a witness taken in front of my actual client. That's always unnerving. I don't mind being a bobble headed idiot at times taking a depo, but in front of my client ...gah! Anyway, it went fine. Client is satisfied, etc.

    1. Keep the promises you make to yourself.
    2. Hey, why not?
    3. When two hearts race, both win. (again)

    My heart's a'poundin', but in fear not happiness. Me and my damm soap opera life. MWBR. Sometimes, I swear I am my own worst enemy.

    I think they are trying to tell you something.

    Ooh, Dove dark chocolate has fortunes!!

    It took several to get to these ahem Mine said:

    * Get your feet massaged (good idea, think I can train Mae?)
    * Go to your special place (a bit new age'y for me)
    * Follow your instincts (you sure? they usually lead me off a cliff)
    * Wink at someone diving past today (from a bike?)

    Much better than a horoscope, though fattening.

    I spend too much time on TD/TE. Your dove chocolates have me checking my horoscope (no fortunes to be had...) Yesterday's was nice, saying I should have challenges, but be fruitful, etc... today's says I'll be standoffish, argumentative and looking for fights where there are likely none to be had. Great.

    I'll have to harrass my sis later (because good-natured harrassment is always fun!) or something.

    Hmm... unsure of the interview. Didn't get all tingly with good vibes, but don't feel like I made an a$$ of myself, either. Hadda change in the car to get to work less late.
    TIRED.
    Chica- I saw your pics from the other thread. What an office view. Geez. I keep having dreams of having quit my job, sold my car, and biked to Alaska. Good dreams. Somehow, it's always chilly, though...
    Knot- No! You're not allowed a soap opera life. NDD. (((Knot))) Any comfort I can lend?

    What is this strange thing called a vacation? I have heard they do exist, but never believed it.

    Since I obviously have not been on one in a l-o-n-g time, let me go on holiday vicariously. Where are you headed?

    those dreams are only chilly because someone steals your covers.

    Exactly!
    Are you kidding? I'm from WI. I slept in snow drifts as a child. Alaska doesn't scare me! Bears? Bah! We had Real Wisconsin Huskies! Salmon? Try Sturgeon! I'm ready! I'm prepared!

    Brr... I'm putting on a jacket.

    It was really scary walking away from that job but I'm glad I did. The new/old job is just a temp thing (6-8 weeks covering for a gal out on maternity leave) while I job hunt. It'll work out, things always do.
