Now Playing: The Allman Brothers--"Midnight Rider"
I think I'm getting better at looking on the bright side, particularly with the allegedly positive developments in my working life last week. My raise turned out to be a dime*, and the second job doesn't in fact start until the end of August. That last rankled a bit, as I wasn't sent off with "we're having a few issues with our finances, so we can't start you until the end of August" but "see you Wednesday!" A similar issue with my former academic career helped drive me away from Akron. It's probably just as well, as the past week has revealed an unhealthy, semi-incestuous "professional" connection between my current workplace and the prospective other that makes me seriously wonder if I shouldn't look for something else (two something elses, which I'll begin doing Monday).
Happy birthday, Sara. My hands can already feel the invasive species struggling to escape.
*A dime. Don't get me wrong--I find it more hilarious than anything else at this point.
