Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

QM - Mab's Experimental Punch Bowl

Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.
Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin'd.
Harpier cries:—'tis time! 'tis time!

Round about the caldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.—
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot! ....

Who's the first to try this *offering up a steaming, frothing cup, from which weird lights emanate*?

Don't let appearances fool you, there's always only one reality. 1Q84, Haruki Murakami.

Oh no. The drink is odder than originally expected.

Do you think we should add a different ingredient? Maybe eye of newt or wing of bat?

Final for this class. I have one more term. And then I'll have my BS. Hopefully, will make me more employable. Better. My current employer is toxic. They fired 3 more people -- one of which is my ex-boss's husband. The other two were long-term (and therefore made more $$) employees.

*hands Sisterdew a chunk of the other side of the mushroom.* This should get you back to regular size, right quick.

I've found some work to do, and one of the partners (one who doesn't have that much power in the firm) talked to me Friday.

Otherwise, no. No word. Although, from what people tell me they've said to HR on my behalf, HR must be tired of hearing my name!

Re: QM - Mab's Experimental Punch Bowl

Brother visiting is good. Your talk about visiting with your siblings reminded me, that's all. Must plan a game night.

I'm reading "Mistborn" right now. I likes it, alot.
