Yay! Thanks, Jesse. My day needs some dog-shaming.
There's been a run of bad luck around here. My nicest coworker has pancreatic cancer, and appears to be not doing well--she is still working, but only part-time, and was unable to stand up for an award in a meeting last week.
My sister's oldest high school friend, who already had, and survived, Hodgkin's Lymphoma in college, has just told us she has stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.
And my cousin's oldest son, who has had medical problems all his life because he was mis-diagnosed with Lime disease and developed epilepsy as a boy, died of a seizure last week.
Plus both my SIL and one of my climbing pals lost their fathers in the last few months.
I feel like the universe is trying to tell me something, and it's not good.
Oh man, that's a lot, Consuela. I would hope the only thing the universe is saying is that shit happens, and a lot of it is happening to people you know right now.
Dear other Admin,
I will do what my bosses tell me to do, not what you tell me you all discussed to do. Until the day I report to you, you do not get to decide everything.
no love, me
PS - I double check everything you tell me is "a boss's decision".
Geez 'Suela.
The universe probably isn't trying to tell you anything in particular except "universal" truths you already knew.
Damn though.
Sounds like you need a vacation for all kinds of reasons. Can you just say "fuck it" for a weekend?
Can you just say "fuck it" for a weekend?
Well, I'm going to Chicago the weekend after Labor Day to see Springsteen and hang with my big brother & SIL. That's about as "fuck it" as I can get...
But I have calls to make this week, oh yes. Onerous ones.
Oh, Consuela. That is a litany of fuckeries.
I woke up this morning without a proper headache, and was so thrown by it that I went back to bed.
Seriously. I emailed that I'd be in late, and grabbed an hour more of sleep. I have a 10AM meeting, and I'll drive in after that, but even though I break the cycle on a Sunday, I'm not aiming for a 1 on the pain scale (is there a zero?), I'll settle for a 5.
I'm trying not to be panicky and desperate about this, because self-sabotage. So I hydrated, emailed, and took a little bit more care of myself.
Now it's time to get back on the horse of life. Really slowly.
Argh cant brane today and am having to write super last minute requirements. Grr. Can I get help??
How would I express a dollar amount that needed to be rounded and displayed like this $72.5 million (for example but will always be milliions).
