My mother was annoyed to tears growing up with worrying parents and then in-laws wanting phone calls upon arriving safely home that her new philosophy is "I assume you're safe, and I'll await the police/hospital to call me to let me know otherwise".
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

I slept until 4:45. At least?

JC, yesterday was batshit. It's sinking in.
Today will be another kind of batshit, but....holy crap.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am contributing to the work of the office. This makes me happy. Also makes me happy that almost everyone greets me with a smile now, just two weeks in.
People, I am a fucking JOY to have in an office. I tell you what. I may make stupid mistakes now and again, but I lift the MF attitude in a place.

Well, you are the nicest. I'm really glad changing jobs is working out for you!
I was up at 4:30 like I was supposed to be and still barely made it out the door on time. Sigh. But got to my desk by clock-in time, so all is well, I guess.
My notable news of the day:
- The Gray Wolf travel mug I got at Glacier does not keep tea hot overnight
- I'm mixing prints! White blazer with black pinstripes (maybe not that thin, but not thick) over dress with black bodice and black & white print skirt. I think it is working but haven't found a good way to take a picture to get y'all's input.
- You can't just have two bullet points can you? But that's all the news I have. Oh well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Falling asleep at the computer or is this weird techie speak I know not of?
No, falling asleep at the computer is falling asleep at the computer.
Does no one understand losing-consciousness keysmash anymore?
It's not quite that ASMR or whatever the "that voice gives me physical sensations" that was discussed earlier, but the lynda.com course I was listening to last night was dragging my eyelids leadenly downward. I hope it has some vague memory of where I need to restart, because I'm really not sure.

Because books.
Yay, msbelle! That's going to make such a difference in your day.
-t, that sounds cute! And I think three bullet points is probably a rule somewhere.
It's only 9:45 and I'm done with today. Oops.

Well, if you are done with the day it's the weekend, right?
