Starting a new job on July 22nd Been offered a job to be trained up ASAP to store manager position (I know most of the important stuff, but need to learn proprietary software, etc)
Biggest pro is that it is SO much closer to home - in my current job, I'm easily burning through $150 or so of petrol a week - in my new role, I might spend $40 a week tops.
Never put passion before principle. Even if you win, you lose.
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
I think my busy period at work is done. The annual publication is nearly complete, two of the vacancies I've had since April are filled and the last just needs to pass security checks, and I've got a plan to make sure everything runs more smoothly next year.
Local drama company are doing a comedy based on the 39 steps. Held auditions on Thursday and last night, went on a last minute whim of dutch courage. Quite a few people present.
Got the role I auditioned for \o/

It's been a long day of yard work and gardening, but for the first time this season, the sunset brought me special visitors - no less than six hummingbird moths, all dropping by to check out my honeysuckles. Such darling little fuzz bugs.
My books for next semester are actually interesting.

Random things... I sometimes, rarely, participate in the writing prompts forum on reddit. I replied to one of them, using the same world logic and same humor as is in the actual books I want to publish... and it was really well-received. Like, ridiculously so, considering that the prompt wasn't that popular and the other responses didn't get much notice. And it just makes me so happy

I have (extremely spotty) cell service again! My house was not destroyed! I took a shower with warm water today. Yay a slight sense of normalcy after Hurricane Michael.

It was good to have my parents and their lunatic dogs up with us for five days, even if we feel a little like this now that they've left.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.
I got to see an open heart surgery today yeeeeee it was so awesome. The nurses and techs and anesthesiologist and even the surgeon were super supportive of me being there and kept dragging me to different parts of the surgical suite to explain different things and give me better views and make sure I had a great experience. I want to be a surgical nurse now.
The purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure pure reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog!

I'm so unreasonably beyond jealous! Kept hoping I'd have a jaunt down to surgery during my clinicals this semester but no dice.

Not gonna lie, being in the theatres during surgeries was probably the most enjoyable experience I had when I was on the general nursing clinical placements. In Midwifery we don't see a *lot* of surgery, unless part of the theatre team for caesarean sections, and you have to be sorta senior for that
"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."
In the middle of the week, I used some time off of work to send several days arranging soil and planting things, and getting new sod and seedlings down.
I failed to check the weather report.
So it naturally came as a bit of a surprise when I somehow managed to miss that there was a snowstorm coming. Got a good three inches yesterday.
And now it's all melted, and everything at least appears to have survived and be in order. Talk about a good fright, though.

My cat came back! She got outside once and vanished almost a week ago, and until tonight no one had seen her. She's apparently been coming back to eat the food we leave out, but won't let my cat-sitting friend near her. I was almost ready to give up... she's 16 years old and has always been an indoor cat.

Aerie - I found your guild swan mascot. It was doing a lot of preening, as it should!
Encountered a trumpeter swan at the zoo and could not help myself.
theatre due to the snowy weather.
hungering malice.
Feeling like Volucer soaring high above the mountains today!

And I'm owed a lot of time in lieu.
Freedom!

Got to savour those days off.

What a roller coaster this week has been, omg.
In the meantime I just have more excuses to saturate my world with it.
