something is wrong with me because while I found it gross, I actually read 3 articles about the incident!
the comments gave me the giggles.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Grace!

Aw, Gracie. May all go better than well.
Ferfuckssake, I come back to a new, semi-working phone system, urgent requests from people I explicitly TOLD that I would be totally incommunicado (so why do I have multiple panicked requests for help/action from the 7th?!!) and various other stupidities.
What the fuck is wrong with people? I WAS ON VACATION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD, NOT WORKING!
I'm just not going to do anything that involves actual thinking until next week. They can all bite me.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Good luck, Grace & Fam!

That's pretty much where I am, and I wasn't just on vacation!
A colleague has been out for surgery and his bounce-back message says that everything you send him is being deleted while he's gone, which I think is a good call.

I work with people unclear on the concept of vacation. The thing is around here? It doesn't make me look lazy or unprofessional. It makes them look like they need to get a life.

Art Crawl!!!
Good luck, Grace!
Man, my brother emailed me this morning to kind of invite me to Thanksgiving.
I am not leaping to accept the invitation.
Not that I wouldn't love to see them but I'm feeling that waiting 'til two days before to invite me is just not on.

Yeah, that's kind of a dick move. I've been having Thanksgiving with the same collection of relatives for years now, and my aunt still sent out an email a couple of weeks ago.
I have a 10 and an 11 o'clock meeting, and I just realized maybe I was supposed to prepare something for the 11. Oops. This week is so stupid.

Good Luck Gracie!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Looks like I'm headed down to PA on Friday -- that way I avoid some of the holiday traffic. We're going to stay at the apartment and hopefully can get much of everything packed up/disposed of.
Also, my aunt & uncle will be going over to the beach house -- what's left of it -- to start sorting through what is left of their possessions there. Not clear if I'll get to go (I'm not even sure if I really want to).
I can't begin to say how unfair it is that my aunt and uncle now have to deal with the problem of TWO properties like this. The Shore house will eventually be rebuilt, but because of the disaster and limited access it could realistically be multiple years if things drag. (Currently, there is NO water, NO electricity and NO gas in their stretch of shore.)
