Yeah, I have no idea. It's just sitting in the Mexican restaurant's parking lot, for sale. I don't even know how much they want for it, I just know it's cute! I love the idea of it because I could theoretically even haul gear and building materials in it. But come to think of it, I have no idea how it would handle our wintry roads.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Adding to the Kat chorus. I'm so sorry to hear these latest developments. Continuing to have you all in my thoughts.

Tourde France.
You know how I pronounced that in my head, right? It's terribly appropriate given my view of the Tour right now.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
{{{Kat}}}
My current boss is very gracious about assigning priorities when asked. However, she's scatterbrained (as she admits herself). She'll come in and talk to me for 15 digression-filled minutes, while I as Queen Linear Thinking am all, "What's the point? What's the action item?" Then at the end, I say something like, "So I need to call so-and-so and see if our department is eligible for X?" And that will be it. But I can't hold it against her, given that I can say, "So it sounds like the deadline on this is two months away? Can I work on it after I'm back from Alabama?" and she's fine with that. My most recent former boss, NSM.
I do have one colleague who has me seeing red because A) she's the only one here who treats me like the help instead of as a colleague, and B) she's the type who acts like the rules are mere suggestions, and who spends money and makes plans before even finding out what the rules are. Now, I'm no fan of unfair or arbitrary rules myself, but this is a county hospital. Managed by a state university. Receiving funding from assorted federal agencies. Breaking rules out of carelessness or just for the heck of it creates a Gordian knot of bureaucratic tangles for the person who has to clean up behind you. And that would be me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Kat, I'm so sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, I just got an email that cryptically sort of indicates that something I thought was dead in the water might be a possibility, and if it comes through (not til September), it would totally get everyone off my fucking back for MONTHS.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Kat, I am so very sorry. I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts.
