I know! If that doesn't sum my world up neatly, I don't know what does. Heh.
The whole job thing... See, I knew going in that I could be out on any given day; it's this lady's position, and I can't be the upstart that horns on in. And in the long run, I really do need to make more than they're able to pay me. (It's a very small practice, prone to collecting strays of the human variety. Seriously. There's a cleaning lady that doesn't actually clean, and a veterinarian who, despite appearances, is actually retired. The chapter of my memoirs related to this place is definitely going to be a comedy). It was just a bad week for the shoe to drop on my head.
And, proving once and for all that the universe has a sense of humor, the masculine parental unit sent out the call for help and I've got two conflicting employment gigs in the works now. The one that I want is the really brief term but very cool one, predictably. (Only 10 days, but with networking potential. Also, butter statues.) Should shake out in the near future, in any case.
But... juice! How can I turn down juice. Can I bring those little paper umbrellas?
