Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha ha ha! I fucking love Pomeranians.

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

Vibing hard for ita today. I hope something meaningful comes out of her meeting.

My immediate family is the Left Wing Pinko Commie branch of an otherwise Right Wing extended family, so we're very used to that divide. Though we don't argue about it, my grandmother's philosophy was always everybody needs to leave their political talk at the door and get along with family.

There are certain subjects that Are Not Discussed between Hubby and me. He has bad cases of "I'm right, dammit!" and it's not worth it to me to try and dig down and find his reasoning (life's too short and he's been dead too often). Most political things fall in there. He's always very surprised when he hits the wall of my own "These are my beliefs and I'm not changing them for you." Thankfully we've learned how to use our various hard walls to circumvent other people whom we don't like. "Oh, I couldn't, my wife/husband would never go along, and they're more important to me than X."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

today is one mad dash to get every last thing done as big boss will not be in the office again until after the new year. He was out all last week also.

I am writing grant reviews. Working is hard, people, and I am not even being paid for this!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well, now that it's light out, we can see where some of the roof tiles came off.

Yikes, Dana.

Working is hard, people, and I am not even being paid for this!

Paid in prestige?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Though we don't argue about it, my grandmother's philosophy was always everybody needs to leave their political talk at the door and get along with family.

It's a good philosophy. Doesn't always work in my families but it is what I usually strive toward.

So unfair! I hope you get good connections or something as payback.

As for me, I forget if I mentioned last week that my organization has screwed up again. Apparently HR forwarded the short list of candidates, but put the wrong name in the "to" field, so it didn't get to the hiring manager. He only found out it had been forwarded when they emailed to ask why he hadn't made his selection yet.

So now they've gotten an extension on the time to make the selection, and the hiring manager is out for the rest of the year on use-or-lose leave. Which means nothing will happen before the beginning of January.

I like my job, but this bullshit is going to kill me, I swear.

I mostly finished my Christmas shopping last night, and wrapped a bunch of gifts to send to my brother's house in Colorado, but realized this morning I'd forgotten a few, so I can't ship it today.

And I didn't get a tree. I just don't have the energy. I will put a ribbon on my front door and be done with it.
