Hahahaha! Yes! We laid awake last night and just talked. It was insane. He's usually glued to his phone scowling over some IT outage or email or something stupid. 12 years I've taken a back seat to his career and his schooling and his stress. He's been more attentive to me in the last 24 hours than he has in years.

=-O WOW! Smooch’s!!

Hahahahaha!

Well, I'm sorry to hear that, and happy to hear that. :) I hope it goes well for you two.

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

His direct boss (who is awesome) and one friend/coworker also quit. It's taking a team of 20 consultants to replace them and it's going to cost thousands and thousands of dollars, so that's extremely satisfying, mwhahahahahaha!

In the meantime, he's happy for the first time in over a decade :)

Got a new client and am covering for my old job too. I hope to post Wednesday.

I’m on vacation until next Friday.

Have fun!

Alice will go with whatever plan Penny wants.

Alice might have better Strength and Swim modifiers, but Penny couldn't order her to stay and risk it, she had to go herself.

Nope -1 to both. She is built for Dex not Str.

Ok so bad news and worse news

Bad - I have no search skill, so I only get +1
Worse - I also don’t have the swim skill, so I am useless at this point.

Good luck Penny.

Hahahaha! This will be great then! ;p

Husband's birthday weekend, so I'm a bit busy. If I get a chance, I'll post today, otherwise I'll go for Monday. Sorry guys! :)

Happy birthday to him! Enjoy!

Have a good weekend!

Thanks guys! :)

I may not get to post this week just fyi. My in-laws live near some of the wildfires and are waiting to hear if they need to evacuate. If they do, they will be staying with us, so I've got to get the house ready for the possibility of 3 house guests for a while. It's mostly smoke issues, so I don't think their home is in physical danger, at least. So that's good. But I have no food for these people, and my budget is pretty dang fixed right now because we have no income, so that will be interesting to say the least. Not to mention all the dietary restrictions I have to work around. Sigh. I love my mother in law to death, but I'll have to be on my most G-rated behavior for a while. She's very innocent, so watching remotely grown up tv and saying things like "butt," are also out of the picture, lol. Who knows, I could go through all this work and they won't even need to come. Man, I hate 2020. Stupid humans have ruined everything.

In other news, my husband's old job is bleeding IT team members. They are all starting to drop off like flies for other jobs, and the consulting company they had to hire to replace my husband is charging them 35,000$ a MONTH, so the business is really hurting now. Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! If he's willing to go back, he might be able to charge them a smaller fee, say, 25,000 a month, to get his job back :P

Okay, good luck with the in-laws! :)

And man that company must have regrets now.

Thankfully, the in-laws backed out of coming for now. Of course, that was AFTER I stayed up late cleaning every nook and cranny, all for nothing...There's still a possibility they'll end up here if the smoke gets worse, but I thiiiiiiink we're in the clear for now.... *crosses fingers*

And yes! The company has dug themselves into a wicked hole. Hahahahahahaha! It is extremely satisfying. My husband did tell them when he quit he'd come back as a consultant whenever they needed, but they're too proud and stupid to ever take him up on it, which is just as well. The workers who are left are now finally realizing the situation my husband shielded them from for so long, dealing with the manager, I mean. So they're suddenly a lot more sympathetic, and hence they are dropping off like flies. It's just nice for him to feel validated.

Man, what a crazy year, right? On top of all the world-wide things going on, to have such a huge change in income and career and crap too. So much change! No wonder I'm stress eating English muffin pizzas so much! >:D

Thanks guys, for letting me vent as always!

If I don't get to post tonight, I'll definitely do it tomorrow. Sorry guys. I'm having one of the worst days I've had in a long while. I'll get better though, I'm just trying to figure out the mess that is my life! lol ;P

That's fine, I think we all understand. Take all the time you need, and good luck getting through it. :)

Thanks so much for understanding! I'm feeling a bit better. Just a draining, life changing week.

Posting in increments! My client got her times wrong so I'm being interrupted. Sigh.
