You know, if this went right back into spring, I think I'd actually like it. But hello darkness, my old friend, why are you here at 4:00 PM isn't really my thing. It's kind of a drag. You really don't even want to *do* anything.
Our totally amazing and awesome human had a job interview this week. She honestly wasn't entirely interested in it, but said that it's good to do an interview every so often to freshen up your interviewing game. She was even less interested in the position after she interviewed for it. I mean, it sounded interesting, but she said she really, really didn't want to work for that particular organization. They do good work, but as for the mechanics of how they're run - I think "clusterf**k" was the term she used. So there was that. Anyway, she's good where she is, but has her eye on her supervisor's job when said supervisor retires in about two and a half years.
And before I go any further, Happy Gotcha Weekend to our favorite Time Lady, Maddy Baker, who I think you will agree is pretty awesome in any form. In our house, Indigenous Peoples' Day coincides with Maddy's Gotcha Weekend, although yesterday was the actual anniversary of her arrival here in 2015.
Fawn and I were thinking that mosquitoes had gone back to hell where they belong, to borrow Maddy's phrase, but were unpleasantly surprised. At least there were no unexpected acorns, though.
Meanwhile....
Celine: "Is that a plane?"
Lenore: "I think it's a really big bird. Like bald eagle kind of big."
Celine: "We have bald eagles here?"
Lenore: "Miss Caroline said she and Mister John have seen them down near that little airport. Near the Hudson River."
Celine: "Zephyr said that one of the other dolls told her that birds are actually government drones. But that doesn't sound right."
Lenore: "Who?"
Celine: "I think she said Tori...."
Lenore: "Miss Tori also thinks the earth is flat. Kind of like her head."
Celine: "I'm still not used to pixies, Devas I get - I mean, they're just another type of angel, like me - but are all of the pixies as weird as Tori?"
Lenore: "No, some of them are even weirder. Most of them are okay, though. And I thought you were a Time Lady like your mother?."
Celine: "I'll never actually be a Time Lady like mom. You have to be pureblood Gallifreyian to attend the academy. And my dad's not from Gallifrey. He's from - well - The Up."
:Lenore: "But you're an angel like he is. You can miracle things."
Celine: "Well, yeah, but - What do you want me to miracle? I mean - I'm not going to do it if it's not going to be a good idea."
Lenore: "I - actually no. Well, maybe that we find what Miss Caroline and I did with that box with a bunch of the winter clothes in it. I'm still looking for my hoodie."
Celine: "What else were you thinking?"
Lenore: "That maybe that new doll your mother was talking about gets here soon?"
Celine: "I hope so. But I don't think it would be a good idea to miracle that."
"That's more of a summoning," Maddy said, joining them. "And no, that's not always a good idea. Like the time you and your dad summoned your uncle Crowley out of the shower?"
Celine looked at Lenore. "I warned him that next time he should pick up his phone or my dad was going to do that."
Lenore: "I've come to think you were right. About who really wants to be an only doll. And that - well, I really should appreciate what I've always had."
Fawn: "I know I came off all wrong back then, but - after being on display in a cabinet, then getting sold because my person got bored with me and then the person who bought me putting me up for sale because she decided she didn't really want me..."
Lenore: "But it all worked out. In the end."
