"I don't mean to micromanage you, but can you say this and this and say it like this when you make these calls." oh, you mean the calls that you never had me make the first 3 weeks and now want me to make without talking to me about them at all first? Because really everyone loves getting corrected on things after the fact rather than just being given instruction upfront.

I AM THICK SKINNED I AM THICK SKINNED

It's a good thing you're thick skinned msbelle, because your boss is thick skulled.

"I don't mean to micromanage you..."

It is like your manager is teaching a master class in what not to do. Are you sure you're not being Punk'd in some way?

I for reals need a different job. Thing is that by the time I leave here each day my motivation is sapped.

Check out these cool photos of Chile's volcano eruption.

Just wow.

Volcanic lightning is pretty!

Holy shit, 10 and 18 are amazing.

Oh, amyth, that's just awful about your SIL.

So unmotivated to work today, oy. I was out of town all weekend (like from 6pm Friday to 10:30pm Sunday) with my choir on a trip to Chattanooga and Birmingham. We volunteered with the Salvation Army and sang with a Birmingham choir and visited the 16th Street Baptist Church (wow, that was an emotional experience) and spent a lot of time on buses. It was a great weekend and I really got to know a lot of other choir folks much better, but holy cow, I'm wiped out now. Just want to go home and catch up on Doctor Who and nap and eat salad for the next three days.

I got two of my most pressing errands out of the way today -- got the new city parking sticker, and passed the reinspection of my car, so I can park in front of my house again. Also bonus-erranded, dropped off two bags of donation clothing!

Kate, did you take pics at the church? What kind of memorial do they have up for the four little girls. I can only imagine how emotional that visit must have been for you.

I am so upset on behalf of your sister-in-law, Amyth. I am glad she is surrounded by her family though.
