Another day, another dollar
First and foremost, my thoughts are with you. I hope you're holding up. I know how busy you are, I know all the things that have to be taken care of and above all, I know you're too busy to be online right now. But I just want you to know your absence is felt deeply. I miss you, my friend and I hope you're okay. ~bumps~
And then, five things make a post:
- They laid off 100 more folks from my office on Wednesday, and my new manager called a team meeting, the first of its kind since my previous manager was converted from a full time employee to an outside contractor. At 4pm. On the day they laid off 100 people. I had a minor freak out. Turned out it was for nothing. Oh except no one knows if I have a job come the first of July. :|
- My cough lingers, mostly because I haven't been sleeping. Turns out months of constant low grade stress is not healthy for a body. Who knew?
- I bought yarn! And circular needles! And the yarn got here but the needles haven't yet. I will do the sock thing before the year is done if it kills me.
- I also got new Threadless shirts. Yay $5 tshirts! (Shelf Life x2, Odd But Cute x2, & I Can't Draw, for those of you keeping score at home. This balances out the insane full price I paid for Ode To Joy x2. Yes, I can quit anytime I want.)
- I also got my soap order from Villainess.net. Mmmmm soap. Beautiful packaging, smells fantastic, reasonable prices for boutique soap, one of those things I love, free samples. I have yet to test drive, so when I do, I'll let you know. BPAL may have a competitor in my online shopping roster.
Bonus question: How do you decide when to do OOMs? Should I be doing OOMs for Olga, who I haven't tagged in with in forever? How about Earl? What about River's margin quotes? Does anybody read those things? Tell me your philosophy on OOMs. Inquiring minds want to know.

Of late, most of Will's OOMs have been plot things and I want to do some in his world too. Most of Jane's OOMs are to do with going through canon, same idea with Tumnus. This ended up rather long, I hope its helpful.
