The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

And, I beg you, why am I still awake? I should be happily asleep. But can I sleep? No.

Kat was awake over 2 hours after I was. Weird.

ita, that does sound incredibly irritating. I hope your migrain goes away and that the people you work with grow up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ita, this will probably sound naive, but can you call a special meeting just to vent lay out all these problems in a forceful way to others on the team? Like words to the effect of, "This project is in peril. We are in serious trouble, and unless there are some major changes to the way that (some) people have been performing, we blah blah blah doomcakes...."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

tommy, I just scheduled that meeting for 9am tomorrow morning. Email to one manager exhorting us all getting on the same page has been sent out. Before the Monday meeting, I will make a call to the other manager of team members and reiterate the doom-and-gloom-let's-pull-together requirements.

I am not the capable one. I am the slack one. Why aren't people paying more attention?

I've done all I can do before sunrise on a Sunday. And I've brewed myself some camomile tea, and will go lie down, either with a comic or Bleak House, and try and unwind.

Good luck, ita.

I vote for the comic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I vote Bleak House! I love Bleak House. I need to re-read it.

You deserve the Best Weekend Ever after the morrning you've just had. Good plan to re-start the day, though. Good luck with that.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

It was weird, Perkins. But I realized this is the first time since mid August that I haven't had a deadline looming. Even on my previous weeks off, I still had things due within a week so even on my off weekends, I was feeling mostly stressed out.

Last night, it was just about the chill and dostuff tat needed doing, things that I kept thinking "wait until you have a moment."

My head is stuffy and I have a cough. Sigh. Typical.

Feh on you being sick, Kat. I'm glad you got a chance to chill and do some nesting before that happened.

I realized after I posted that we are an hour later than you are,so now that is my excuse.

Kat, does this means you've finished with all of your papers (asked the skipper)? Because if so, then YAY YOU!
