Well, my vacuum just broke, anyway.... I sucked up the big spots with the hose.

They are inspecting my landlord. Last time he had to put in a carbon monoxide detector and a railing for my stairs. I think I can fix the vacuum and vacuum for tomorrow.

le n, I am not sure how you feel about religiously connected donations, but UMCOR [link] is where I give. From their website: "UMCOR spends 100 percent of designated donations on the projects our donors specify."

This is their disaster response page: [link]

They did not have a link up for OK, but I assume it will be up today.

ION - work is about to get real. Someone left a pile of invoices on my desk. Also the woman who does my job at another location will be here shortly to start training me.

I am looking forward to being productive and a help, I am also about to be overwhelmed. the good/bad balance of a new job.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Go msbelle! Conquer that new job.

A salesperson who just cold called me called me "kiddo" so I hung up on her.

Apparently, I have no patience today.

I actually love new jobs-- I am good at learning.

I am too tired for this catering nonsense. I have to get approval from the Dean to have a lunch when a national consultant is coming in to meet with faculty. It looks like she is not going to give it, because the lunch is for faculty to meet her and informally talk about plans, so it is not a "working" lunch. Oy vey!

Seriously? WTF. That is not someone who understands how sales work. Rule 1: do not piss off the person you want to buy something.

Good luck on the new job, msbelle! I hope you rock at it.

I feel old today: I did a 7-minute workout yesterday morning, and this morning my back is killing me. Couldn't even run our usual 3 miles.

ita !, I love that dongli shop on Etsy, thanks for the link. I suspect there's a new dress or skirt in my near future.

You're not old, Consuela, but you are under a lot of stress. I know stress makes my back and shoulders seize up. Just do some gentle back stretches today.
