Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, last night, after 11pm when I was complaining about insomnia? I feel asleep soon after. And didn't wake up until 1pm this afternoon. 12 plus hours of sleep. wtf??? And neither of my kids woke me? And I'm not sick? That NEVER happens.
Luckily, since I work from home a fair bit, no one at work freaked about me not being there. Just means I'll be working until much later today than normal. I'm still flabbergasted.

You must have really needed it, Suzi.
Weather.com tells me it's 54 here right now. No wonder I'm freezing.

So, my old job has a new CEO. This year, instead of the previous free time Summer Friday situation, the new CEO is making them increase the M-R workday to shorten Friday. I have already seen one pissed-off Facebook post... we'll see what else shows up! Classic. I have to say, while I'm always happy to take free time off, I think it's fair to remember that you aren't actually owed it.

Sorry to hear about the hard school day, msbelle, but glad it's ending in a snuggle fest.
My day has been great--took MiL on some errands and had lunch at Joans on Third, then came home and made a couple tee-shirts. But my afternoon/evening is going to be stressful. Franny's after care has a big production tonight and she's singing in it. And the after care events are always chaotic and full of over tired, over stimulated children. Fun!

We always had to do that at our office. And we were split into groups, A and B, so the whole office wasn't gone every Friday afternoon.

It's not uncommon. And as far as I can tell, my job doesn't even HAVE Summer Fridays! Woe.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Work is asking for my home phone and my home email address. Man, I really don't feel I should share that stuff. I'm such a compartmentaliser.

Yeah. Not being owed free time is important for me to remember too. I have a conference period and I'm always peeved when I'm expected to have, you know, actual conferences.
Can we talk about the insanity that my life has become? Tonight I have an orientation at 7:00 PM. Tomorrow I have the senior awards assembly from 6:30-8:00. Then my students go to Disney all night for Grad Night. Friday we have school and then I have another meeting at 4:00.
Moreover, did you all know there is a website called Medwow where you can buy used medical supplies. It's intense. Someone is looking for a surgery table!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
We have heard through the grapevine that there will be no more get let out early before holidays. It is annoying, but frankly, it means I will take the day off. I always hated taking the day off, and then finding out everyone else got to go home early.
