You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Her name is Heidi Fahringer, Pix. She's in Culver City. I like her, but in the interests of full disclosure I should note that her staff--well one woman on her staff--can sometimes be a bit pushy. She's always given good advice about how the glasses look, but I haven't always liked her tone.

Layoffs at my workplace begin this morning, and will keep happening through the week. No one from the school had any input into who would be let go - all decisions were made from the Provost's office, based on job descriptions. This is not going to go well.

Oh Sparky!, that's a terrible situation.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Great decision-making coming from them; I can FEEL it.

Luck, Sparky!

They had the nerve to tell us we should "feel good" about how they were going about things.

I pretty much spent the whole night thinking about all the things it would "feel good" to say to them.

Your workplace is pretty tonedeaf, no?

My knees hurt (I sorta know why, but it still sucks,) I had to fish Devi out from under the bed, it's fucking cold and I have a dentist appt and I still haven't sorted out the new FSA, the card which I forgot anyway and all my damn passwords for it are at home.

I kinda hate everything.

Art Crawl!!!

It was 11 degrees when I woke up! (Or so says NPR.) And it did feel warmer than yesterday. (Although, the office does not.)

We might get some snow too - which would be good.

Sparky - hate the reorg nonsense. I hope it works out for you.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Five degrees here. I really don't want to go outside.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I really gave going to bed early last night a good shot, but then I couldn't stop reading! Stupid books.
