ita, how are things going? I realize nothing will make it better but I've always felt like I was more in control if I went in with a complete my responsibility, I know I have to fix things and that you feel like you've been let down. What can I do to ameliorate it? If I start there, then I take less beating. Might just be my workplace.

It's 1pm. Why am I falling asleep at my desk?

Go ahead and sleep. In fact, we should all sleep at our desks.

That's a lot to handle still, Consuela. Especially the falling -- what's the level of medical care? They should be reporting that to you each time as it happens, I would think.

My baring my mistakes went as well as one could expect.

That's good to hear!

Jesse, do not dispose of food in your office trash can! Do you not have a kitchen to smell up?

Not really! There are other trash cans down the hall, but that just seems shady.

Well that's something. You have no idea how much I fuck things up when I just stay up past 11. I would definitely be unable to function if I were dealing with what you are dealing with.

They have been, pretty much, although not at midnight on Saturday or whatever.

Right now they're only getting check-ins and medication management, I believe. We will need to up that to help with basic functions, and medication management for my Dad, who is far more confused than he was even six months ago.

He's not going to want to stop driving: I'm going to make the doctor tell him.

In better news, have some very cute fennec foxes: [link]

Kenji Lopez-Alt at Serious Eats is doing another vegan month, which should result in some excellent recipes, FYI. [link]

If I start there, then I take less beating. Might just be my workplace.

That's basically what I did. I didn't say who didn't do their jobs right other than me, just that I hadn't checked to make sure everyone had done their jobs right, therefore I hadn't done mine.

And I've told the people concerned in private what went wrong, and how I'm going to up the level of validation and why--I hope they get that by me taking the entire flak for their fuckup that me changing the rules is the best possible result of this scenario, since no management knows who precisely failed where.

There are some business analysts/project managers here that will throw people under the bus, but one way or another I don't think that's useful.

My manager has booked ninety minutes for our one on one, though--it usually takes half an hour. So I can't properly exhale until four thirty.

I have nothing I need to do quickly today, so I'm going to make sure everything I do, I do thoroughly at least. Excessively, if need be.

Ugh. I hope things go more smoothly than you expect.

I am no longer writing comments on papers. I'm writing see me instead. It's faster for me to explain than it is to write it out.
