I am pottering around because my bosses are still not in and haven't answered my emailed questions about some long-term projects and travel arrangements, so there's really exactly nothing to do at all.
Raq, I am completely ignoring the blue-lipped little boy, because it's just way too creepy to even think about.
Nora, dear, I'm so sorry. You and all your family are in my thoughts.
Bah. The train I rode in to work was insanely overheated, and my sinuses are now simultaneously swollen and bone-dry. A trip to the drugstore for saline solution is in order, right soon.
Good fit job vibes to both Aimee and Susan. I don't know for certain what I'm going to do myself -- I'm starting to settle in here, a bit, but the real test won't come until both bosses are back from vacation and the serious workload begins, and in the meantime I am missing Dr. Stanger something dreadful. And I can't help feeling that I'm sabotaging myself by keeping a "wait and see, only 4 months till the first performance review" attitude instead of wholeheartedly committing. It seems unpossible that d is failing at everything, because surely I've used up all the available fail.
The other sucky things about today? Tom Scola on the other side of the continent, no game night planned with megan walker for a while, and Lee much closer than Tom but still too far.
Heard the rumor again that the Draconian Dictator Principal that I work for may not be at our school much longer. I really hope this rumor is true.
An amazing thing happened today. I got a box from Amazon. Inside contained the book Three Little Words by Ashley Rhodes-Courter. Ashley is one of my former students and is just about to graduate from college. She was also featured in Glamor magazine last June as one of the "top 10 College Females". I am so proud of her!

One of these three is easily remedied.
I think unless you love your job 100% - you should always keep your eyes open. I was happy at my old library if somewhat bored. I applied for my current job on a lark. It is much easier to go into an interview if you are ok in your current space. And I am much happier at this job , even though I would rather be home today .

When you kidnap Lee, who will take care of her cats?

This is my thinking, too. You never know when the perfect thing might come along.
I'm out of energy and it's not even noon. Maybe I should put off quitting my red bull habit until tomorrow.
My new year's good intentions lasted until I got home from work and had smoked salmon, candy and peanuts for my dinner. Crap.
You have to allow yourself some backsliding or you'll just give up altogether. Someone is getting me a red bull right now. And I had some cookies on account of they were espresso flavored. But I choose to focus on the positive changes I've already made: I had citrus fruit for breakfast yestrday and the day before, enough leafy green vegetables to choke a goat, and I'm having tuna salad for lunch.
