'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So, apparently I'm "awesome" and I "do an awesome job". That was perhaps the least productive performance review I was actually eager to get something out of. Normally I'm just sullen.
If I'm that awesome, why wasn't my numerical rating higher? Give me better numbers, dammit.
Yeah, great problems I got.
Now I gotta get ready for the portfolio review. Jaysus. Judgy judgy day. I should pee.
Good luck tomorrow Suzi!
I judge you... to be awesome!
Ugh, but that reminds me that a coworker asked to talk to me about his future performance review. I mean, I guess it's coming up in the next couple of months? And we have had some issues? But I still think this is weird, and going to be potentially awkward.
Also, I just started prepping for singing at a memorial service on Saturday, and it's going to be rough. The woman who died was totally my choir buddy. I'm trying to get the crying out of the way now.

I'm sorry about Trudy and Tom's sister's dogs.
Congratulations on the new job, Hayden!
Ooh, that is super hard, Jesse, since singing is so emotional to begin with.
My sister takes metoprolol for a heart condition. Is that drug related to propanolol (the drug in the reducing-racism article)? Teppy? Not that my sister has racism issues, just curious about the fear-reducing thing. She could use her anxiety levels lowered.
IIRC, metoprolol is related. And in that vein, the blood pressure drug atenolol purportedly reduces anxiety, particularly *social* anxiety. I learned this from a medical professional at one of Tim's ADHD support meetings (well, the presentation part). My BP has been stable on the same drug for years, but I'm toying with the idea of asking my Awesome Doc if I could switch. I would kill or die to reduce this social anxiety.

Yeah, it took me years to be able to sing the descant on O Come, All Ye Faithful, because I think it's just so beautiful! Der.
Are you on BP meds, Steph? I just got prescribed a beta blocker in addition to the other, somewhat ineffective, meds.
Are you on BP meds, Steph?
I am. I'm on a low dose of benazepril (generic of Lotensin), which is an ACE inhibitor. Atenolol and the other -olol drugs are beta-blockers.
