I think CG's response sums it up: 

curiousgeorgiana said: I think looking for a reward in advance is good planning. And very responsible. You want to be prepared, after all. (Fingers crossed for you!!)

Preparation is key in this situation. Wouldn't want to be caught off-guard.

Tumblr, I don't want to jinx it because it's not official yet, but I very probably have just gotten a new job (at the same place where I currently work). This job is Dream Job. It will be the first time in my professional adult life where I'll be in a job that isn't a stepping stone to a different job and I absolutely adore everyone I'll be working with.

A downside is that it means I'm now committed to this organization. A semi-downside is that I'm committed to working in DC for now--I still hate DC. Hate it. Who doesn't, amirite? That's only a semi-downside because things in DC are generally ok for me right now so it's not like I need a geographical solution to any life problems. And really, it's only a semi-commitment to DC: I could technically move anywhere where we have an office (though only maybe one of those places is a place I'd want to move to).

But here's the real point of this post: I want to reward myself with some new shoes or a new purse or something, but Tumblr, would you agree with me that purchasing said reward before I officially get the written job offer would be jinxing said offer? And do you think that even looking for the shoes or purse or whatever I want to get is pushing my luck? At what point does online/window shopping become a powerful force of nature that mustn't be toyed with?

These are a few of my favorite things

1. Jenny Lewis' new album, The Voyager. You can listen to the full thing on NPR here until it comes out on Tuesday. Guys? Guys. I didn't know I needed a soundtrack for my 2014 until I heard this perfect one. I loves it.

2. My new iPhone case:

Need I say more? No, I need not.

party don’t start til i walk in.

Tonight I finished a whole beer (this is unusual for me) at a German beer garden and then stopped off at the pie place that could convert even the staunchest cakerator and got quiche for dinner and some kind of custard/cookie/pie for dessert. 

My neighbor however, has had a different evening. I think he has dug himself a barbecue pit or some other kind of in-ground vessel with feet of flames shooting out of it.

What I'm saying is, tonight could be the night I die.

These are the bad-ass motherfuckers that occupy the parking lot across from work. $8 to park your ass here all day? Try again, bitches.

Someone has stolen my old username but no page exists for it. There's a chance it was me who did it? And I can't remember what email I did it with? Whatever. 

Anyway, HI AGAIN. Things are going well. Hugs all around!

Hoai, Tumblr! 

It's been so long. I got nostalgic.

This is now a complaining about the price of things blog > Category: Groceries > Subcategory: grapes.

I hope you can handle that.

[scoldylocked]

Handle it? I own it every time I step into Giant or Harris Teeter. I practically yell at people who are looking at grapes and ask them if they know how much they could be saving on grapes at Wegmans, for example or Trader Joe's where they tend to be cheaper and/or packaged in smaller quantities.*

I was sick a couple weeks ago and I just wanted some fucking grapes at any cost, so I went to Harris Teeter because it was the only thing in between work and home. I picked up a thing of grapes, the cashier weighed it--it was $10. She felt sorry for me and gave me the Vic card discount even though I didn't have one.

*No, I don't of course. I yell at them in my mind.

Man, I am getting this whole "don't be afraid to just walk away from a car deal" thing down.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten down the part where they're supposed to give you a better deal because you walked away.
