If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
brenda, can I come work for your company?
Hey, why not?
It's actually quite fascinating - they've just remodelled all our offices, to the point that there really are almost no actual offices. It's all wide-open, few interior walls, lots of meeting spaces - the kind of area in the pic is intended to be a break area but also a place for impromptu meetings. And it's used that way, all the time. It's all about the whole "culture of collaboration" thing that a lot of companies talk about - they're trying to put their money where their mouth is.
It's especially interesting to me because at the soul-sucking place, we moved to bigger, beautifully designed, upscale space about a year ago, - what actually happened was that communication lines and interaction were so cut off that it was a whole different atmosphere, and it seriously impacted how we worked.
It's like board culture - this sort of set up, v. threaded, v. some of the other ways people do it - it's amazing how the physical [virtual] design affects how you interact.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
brenda, I like that - we have an open-cubicle set-up, and they're going to make us into individual-cubical jockeys, and I dread it. How far would I have to relocate?
No, seriously. I'm hating my job lately. I keep telling myself I can't leave because I have no skills, but that is, in fact, ridiculous.
Oh, hell. The meds are kcikign in and I have to go to bed. Carry on without me! save yourselves

AAAAAAHHHH! You're trying to keeeeell me! Is it not enough that I had to remove FIVE writing implements from my ceiling this afternoon, or that my students cannot reliably determine whether or not LEAD will SINK in WATER, you must taunt me with delectable snackybits as well?!?!

In WTF news, I stopped at Walgreen's on my way and was handed a box of 100 syringes without question, then had to sign for my Claratin D.
Lee, did they give you a sharps container too?

Nope. I'm a bad citizen, and don't use one. (I clip the needles though)

but I wonder what they do with the sharps container once you give it back? I mean, I returned mine, full, a few months ago and I kept thinking, well, now what happens to them?

brenda, your office sounds fantabulous. That is the most gorgeous breakroom I have ever seen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We have free grapefruit juice in my office
Okay, ew. That's how I know I'm some sort of supertaster. Unless you package it in Ting with sugar and fizz, grapefruit is one of the worst tastes out there, Ruby Red or no. Disgusting.
Slamming migraine tonight, thanks to the pain specialist. I guess he had to poke around my back to diagnose me, but fuck. Luckily I have a massage tomorrow and a nerve block Friday. If I'm really really lucky I may be able to get some Celebrex tonight--anything to make some of this muscle soreness in my back go away, since it's feeding straight upwards into the headache.
