Really want to see Olivia as Fuzzy Monkey pictures, also.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ack! Cash! Good luck with your move. Just keep thinking about that beautiful new house.
{{{{laga}}}} I'm sorry, hon. Anything I can do?
The work saga continues: I had emailed my department head about the whole "come in to work" decree, and she came up to talk to me about it. She thinks the decree is ridiculous, too. How is she going to handle it? Not by confronting the division head, oh no. She's just not showing up tomorrow. She said her choice was between us (and my blinvisible friends), but she thought that since she works hard and gets her comments in on time, the division head isn't going to make a big deal about it. She also echoed the famous "easier to ask for forgiveness than permission" line. Okay...but we were just told via email that we had to be here. In my mind, this is not a situation that I can pretend I didn't know about. If I choose not to show up, I am doing so in direct violation of the division head.
So now I'm in a lovely position. I can't go over my department chair's head without seeming like I'm...well, going over her head, but she's not willing to advocate for me, either. Essentially she's left me three choices:
- don't say anything and don't show up and hope no one notices or says anything
- argue my case with the division head and (most likely) be told "no" (which then means I definitely would have to come in)
- do as I'm told and seethe with resentment at the fact that my direct boss is blithely sitting at home

WAIT! As I was typing this, I got another email! Division head has come to her senses! We can work from home! WHEE!!! Apparently someone braver than my department head talked with her.

That's a relief, Kristin. I was hoping there was a None of the Above option.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
YAY for bosses coming to their senses!
edit: but yeah nothing to be done for me right now I think. I've been dealing with a lot of crap lately and a few things happening together are making me feel kinda unimportant in other people's lives. I am considering talking to my doctor about depression.

Laga, I think talking to your doctor is a great idea. I also just left you a long note in your LJ. {{{{you}}}}

Yay Kristin!

Is it a bad sign if the on-line depression screening test makes me cry?

Yes. Get thee to a doctor, love. I'm worried about you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Cash, tonight is OUR last night in our house, too! But it's much easier for us with no kids and moving three miles instead of to a whole new state. I wish you an easy move!
We had our only setback in renovation yesterday. The "final" coat of paint in the kitchen (paint leftover from the painters) was the right color, but we didn't discover until it dried that it was matte instead of semi-gloss. You can't really paint a kitchen wall and woodwork in flat paint so DH had to rush out at 7 this morning to get new paint. A friend stepped up and they have repainted everything we painted yesterday. Me, I am packing packing pakcing.
