Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

So did you get intouch with the strange man?


Come on, own up, did you download Britanny's latest single? You bad boy.


Simon - that suck, but at least if you get another job and take the voluntary redundancy, for a short while at least you'll be rolling in it - more mortgage payments, or, or, you can take yourself and this gorgeous, beautiful, talented, extremely grateful girl you know to D*C next year.

She how i can distract you from your woes by making it all about me? Thats a gift that is.

No, seriously, it sucks, and i know you liked working there, but like you said, your CV is a goodun, and you'll have no problems finding new work, i hope you like the next as much as you liked this one.

Jade - sleep with one eye open

Serenity - thimbles? 64 for five dollars? Thats very cheap, and they're rubbery you say? Well, thats a very silly image I've got stuck in my head now.

I'm afraid that it's because the company is out of money that this is happening, plus I've not been there for two years so they're not obliged to give me anything. Sorry Seryn, much as I'd like to, I don't see a Dragon*Con in our future.

This morning wasn't fun in the office. Hopefully there will be a swift resolution, one way or the other.

And the boss has gone off to New York regardless. That's a mistake but I can understand why he's gone. A shame because it really was a great office to work in.

Aw, SW, that is not good news!

but perhaps you'll find something even better. That would be a positive. I'm sorry you're having to leave a job you love, though. Those are rare and hard to find!

Seryn: they're little silicon ovals that you stick in your fingertip. I tried one out last night and it worked great. I got a lot more sewing done because I wasn't stabbing myself. And, it had a little dent in it where I kept pushing the needle in, but I couldn't feel it. So, yay!

I want to try one of those medieval thimbles, that is just a metal ring that goes around the tip of your finger, but they're hard to find. These will do for now!

How was everyone's All Hallow's Eve?

We didn't get very many trick or treaters, only about 10, but Spiderman and Batman made appearances, so no complaints.

Happy All Saints Day. Or Dia de los Muertes, is that's more your cuppa. Let us remember and celebrate those that have passed on before us.

hard to sleep with one eye open, I was up past 5am watching Ghost Hunters Live. and barely remember the last 2 hours.. I left him a message. don't know if he got it. He might be showing..... ack! he just called. He'll be here in about 35 minutes. I should shower and Dress. If I drop off the face of the Earth, Like Mai seems to have, Run!

"But you sleep like a ghost with me
It's as simple as that
So tell me I'm mad
Roll me up and breathe me in
Come to my madness
My opium den
Come to my madness
Make sense of it again."

Howdy, all.
Simon, I have not been following what's been happening, but it does not sound good...I'm sorry for you!

Serenity, so you solved the thinble problem! Good! As for the medieval ones, if you can find a picture, I might be able to fashion one.
Something else you may want to consider is a sail-maker's thimble (or "palm")-- http://www.go2marine.com/product.do?no=90996F

Thanks for messages of sympathy; much appreciated.

Anyway, for me thimbles a) must be made of metal and b) have only two uses: as a counter in Monopoly (though it is not much sought after) and a collection of four to put in each finger and make horse galloping sounds on the table.

Thanks for the laugh! Horse galloping sounds...classic!

Like that old saw, "sounds too good to be true", eh?

Kinda like this short-lived tv show, some space western or other, and its unlikely big screen offspring.

I hope you get through this crap time sooner, rather than not so soon.

{editted to add} Gotta love a guy that can maintain his stellar sense of humour during such a stressful time! Um, love, in a manly, platonic fashion....

Here's to knowing you'll swiftly land another paying gig.
