It's not a relief, it's not a reward, it's the blessings.

We've been holding our breath for a long time at my household, because of the Todd Stroger (that bastard) Budget Cuts which came dangerously close to cutting DYA's position and laying her off. And when I mean close, like, she'd received a letter in the mail stating exactly as such, with a concrete date set for mid-March.

Yesterday she found out they've been whittling away at compromising the cuts and her bracket (based on when she was hired) is now safe. Now only is it nice to remain employed, it's nice to be able to keep a job she finally found that she loves. It is also nice to finally exhale. It sucks to think about other people who will not be so lucky.

Coincidentally, mercury went back direct yesterday.

It's Friday, ya bastards. Of course, it's 4 pm and mostly people are about ready to jet and I'm just arriving at the office. But still. It's 50 degrees, I didn't have to wear a scarf or a hat that's knit or fake fur lined. I have a fresh pouch of good tobacco in my bad. And after work, I'm buying myself a shamrock shake. So I'm happy.

What a relief! Someone was talking about a half chocolate, half shamrock shake the other day here.

Phew!

And also, I saw Dar Williams at Steppenwolf last weekend. She was excellent.

Oooh, I am jealous. She's so good live! I've been on a kick this week. Coco and I talked about her the other weekend and I think it's hilarious that she is considered so lesbionic, given that she's not a lesbian.

not to butt into a conversation...but, she was my camp counselor, and I have to say while not a lesbian in practice, she is very lesbian cultured...if that makes sense.

whew!
