Go msbelle! Conquer that new job.
She's not just a blob of energy, she's also a 14-year-old hormone bomb.

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

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.

Somehow I didn't quite realize the scale of the destruction in Oklahoma last night, but reading the reports this morning, it's hard not to cry at my desk. 91 people confirmed dead so far, and that number is likely to rise. It's so awful.
I'm sure there are hundreds of organizations that will be taking donations in the coming days and weeks, but one I know of right now is the Cimarron Alliance, "central Oklahoma's preeminent LGBT advocacy and education organization": [link] Though now that I read through their last few posts, it looks like they're mostly taking food/clothing donations, as well as checks made out to the American Red Cross. So if you're looking to send money right now, the Red Cross is probably a good place to send it. I will let you all know if I hear of other local orgs that are accepting donations.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Kate, if it's any comfort, they're revising the number downward, because some casualties were double-counted. According to NPR, the official death toll is 24.
