[livejournal.com profile] enotsola: Caw! Caw! Caw! ...? ...Hello?
[livejournal.com profile] starlightforest: Yes?
enotsola: You were supposed to say "caw"!
starlightforest: I'm not a crow.
enotsola: ...Baby caws back?


(I like black birds and I cannot lie
You corvus corax can't deny...)

Good things that have happened in the past two days:

1. [livejournal.com profile] enotsola got his Employment Authorization Document (NB: this is not permanent residency. It allows him to work, not to leave and get back in), so today we shall hie to the Social Security office to apply for a number for him. Then, of course, he gets the fun of looking for work...

2. I was selected from two candidates to transfer into the Cataloging position being vacated by the current cataloger after 20 years. I knew this was going to happen since about last July, since she was dissatisfied with having her reclassification request (read: to get her position moved up the overall salary scale) denied, and decided to just wait out the 20 years because it makes some difference in her post-separation benefits. So this means that depending on how you count it, it's taken me 2 to 2.5 years to completely reset (+1 husband)* from the big detour I took in my life when I decided to give up the job I had and go to Canada. I'll be back in the same department (the one I'd rather be in) and I've recovered my savings pool to pre-jaunt levels. (Also, I am in fact being paid even more now, due to a COLA in the meantime and having gone one more step in my class's scale.)

* When I get enough gold and the material components, we'll make him a +2 husband. Or maybe some other cool enchantments.

[livejournal.com profile] enotsola and I saw this cake in person a few months ago when we went to this bakery to order our (little) wedding cake. It was sitting on the counter waiting to be picked up. In person it was perfectly cubical. Why this picture isn't, I ain't got no idee.

NB by "Game Cube" is meant "Companion Cube", not anything sold by Nintendo.
