Argh! I have too much work to do to actually do it. My day has been all choppy and weird and full of decision-making, but not yet acting on those decisions. Tomorrow I will buckle down.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
hivemind - who has read Leadership and Self-Deception? If I am part of a workshop using this, are we going to be given a rock? I need to prepare for how bad it is going to be.
I haven't read it, but it's a common self-help book.
It appears to basically be about the Golden Rule. So if they hand you a rock, don't throw it unless you would like them to throw rocks unto you.
Mocking the rock is optional.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I would totally wind a piece of string around my rock.

I hate those days. I am also in a love/hate relationship with the amount of freedom/decision making/shared decision making in my job. On one hand, it is empowering and I like that people want my opinions. On the other, I have no one to delegate stuff to, so I have to keep doing all the day to day running of the office, answering phones, registering students, etc.

This is why I was so bad at Girl Scouts and camp and stuff. I loathe team-building exercises.

I love all that team-building shit. It's ridiculous, but after theatre school it's so easy for me to BS through it.
Speaking of which, my new boss had one on one meeting with all her new employees today to talk about how things are, what we want out of our jobs, ways we could see our two divisions working together. I blathered on at legnth, but was still super careful not to name names and be very polite. I will leave that to my coworkers who are retiring soon. At one point she did ask where I saw my career going and I had to stifle a laugh, but I didn't say anything about rather be running a pie shop or be a lady of leisure...I know better.

As it turns out, my mother got a talking-to because she refused to participate in a team-building exercise of some sort. I have to go to another one next week.
You guys, daylight savings is KICKING MY ASS.
If I can just get these two next things accomplished, I might need to take off early. What the hell? Have I become so old that an hour is making me this loopy?

Ann, that's a ferret.

You too?
On the other hand, I get to leave in 20 minutes. On the other other hand, I've been here for more than 9 hours.

It's 70+ degrees in Boston. In March. I hope this isn't indicative of what the summer is going to end up like.
OTOH, it's supposed to be back in the 40s tonight, so it's probably just a freak occurence.

I loathe team building. I love daylight savings, but working at home does make it easier. It also keeps me away from team building.
