note: there might be triggering things under the cut relating to the loss of a beloved pet. i keep it succinct and as stripped of detail as possible.

but good stuff is under there, too.

lj cut ftw although the cut seems to not work. gah.

[good and goodish things]

* last week mister talked to his boss about a really amazing opportunity to get certified as some fancy security type person. his boss was super excited and totally on board, because apparently they are having to outsource that type of work right now. o.O the class and certification are pretty expensive, so i was all "i'll believe it when i see it" -- and today he got the approval for all of it and the big boss's PA is signing him up today. i'd tell you what the certification is, but i can't remember. i know there's a c in it. he thinks it will be a year or a little less to get through all the certifications he has to get to get the big one. so yay!

* also last week, on friday at 4 p.m., mister gets a call from his boss (co-owner of the company) about an opportunity for the company. apparently, a big tech company in nashville reached out to them to see if they could do a rollout of a huge deployment of matrix computers. the project would be three weeks long. o.O he asked if mister had experience with all the stuff that goes along with the deployment and when he found out he does, boss got all excited. he asked if mister would be willing to go lead the project and after discussion this weekend, we decided it would be okie dokie if he went.

so now he has to wait and see if the job is even happening (mister brought up that the nashville folks might just be shopping out the job), but if it does, he'll be heading out soonish.

[the badish and the horrible]

* the other adventure last week involved a rattlesnake in our yard. mister made the HUGE mistake of taking his eyes off of the slithery bastard and then had to hunt it down. lol this is how i know he has no native in the woodpile, because i was all "WTF, NEVER TAKE YOUR EYES OFF A SNAKE!"

but, anyway, snake was sadly dispatched and the yard was safe.

* and then the utterly sad and heartbreaking. late friday, our old man cat was having serious trouble breathing and walking. he's been close to needing to be set off on his next big adventure for awhile, but it's so hard to let them go. :( we tried to find an emergency vet because he was in so much distress, but there was nothing. NOTHING. :( so mister had to do the hardest thing he's done and handle it. the grace is that for benny, it was quicker than a blink. for mister? he said it would be with him always. :(

so this is where we are.
