Cold comfort

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

So this has been a pretty icky week. Nothing majorly awful or Pit-worthy, but I wanted to whine a bit.

I found out I’m losing my job (that I love) July 30th, way earlier than expected.

I need a place to live.

I just got into a huge fight with the first friend I made here in California. The friend that got me some of the most awful, scary things I’ve ever gone through. I don’t think it’s fixable.

I miss my home.

Know what I’m going to do? Have a bowl of ice cream. Cold comfort at it’s best. Anyone want to share?

I’ll bring the sprinkles!

What flavor, Rasa?

4

What I have for you, my love, is my email address. I am sending it to you, and I expect you to use it.

Because I love you.

Well, being lactose intolerant, I had a huge moment of indecision. I only get one bowl, do I go with the Phish Food, or Chunky Monkey? The dilemma was almost too much for my poor addled brain to handle.

So I had a half scoop of each.

You know where I stand, sweetie. :slight_smile:

Hugs for Rasa, keep looking for the roses in that patch of weeds you are going through right now. You will find them, they are there.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, Rasa :frowning:
I hope everything gets better before you have to resort to the dulce de leche haagen dazs, best of luck, karate-chop girl!

Thanks gang… I’m finding the roses where I can. One good thing happened today: I went out into the back yard, and didn’t get attacked by the Attack Hummingbird!

Note to Nen, if he’s reading this: I don’t give a flying fuck if hummingbirds don’t have hard beaks, YOU try sitting calmly when there’s a small bird flying about your head. Didn’t think so.

Oh, and I talked to a good friend for a long time today. That was another rose among the weeds.

10

Just try to remember that, before things get worse, they have to get a whole lot more worse…

Or something like that.

Hang tough and email me if you want some resume help. Let me know what sort of job you’re looking for and I’ll canvass my network. Best wishes.

Thanks Zenster. I’m a geek, I do geek work, we’re a dime a dozen out here in Sili Valley, as you know. I’m just really going to miss having a job I enjoy getting up and going to every day. Sure, maybe I’ll find another one that’s even better, but damnit, I want to keep this job!

Good thing I’m lactose intolerant, or I’d have gone through the whole carton of Chunky Monkey! :wink:

::hands Rasa some Lactaid tabs::

Have a bowl for me. :slight_smile:
