I worked for the university for more than 20 years.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Our wings are not tired.
I wish there was some regard for that length of loyalty. I'm sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That sucks, sumi. I hope you find somewhere else more worthy of you.
I am in a freak-out spiral about all of the things I should be doing, like packing, and I was so stressed I took off work today but I have not gotten a lot done, and I just remembered something else I have to do, so I'm doing that now, but it involves the phone. So many things involve the phone, and when I'm like this, talking on the phone to strangers is the last thing I want to do.
And I think, worst-case scenario, we'll get someone to pack everything, but then I feel lazy and self-indulgent, and all of this just leads to me on the couch watching another episode of super-hero TV.

I'm sorry, sumi. I hope you find something better, with more congenial people, soon.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And the guy selling us carpet in Dallas just asked if I knew his cousins, the Millers. SERIOUSLY?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, Sumi, I'm so sorry. I can only hope that being away from what sounds like a horribly negative environment will be freeing for you.

I'm not allowed to buy any more geeky t shirts. I finally reorganized my clothes today and the amount of t shirts I have is insane

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
sumi, best ~ma for finding a good place to work, thrive, and be happy.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I need to go to campus and get stuff done. I have a list and everything. And this stuff really does have to get done today. And my ankle hurts, and I don't wanna.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sumi, that's a rotten thing for them to do. Much ~ma for quickly finding a better place that appreciates you.
After almost two weeks of struggling with uncontrollable anxiety and fatigue and headaches, I started feeling better yesterday, and today, I feel fine. If things go the way they usually do, I should get three days of feeling pretty good before the crash back into fatigue and anxiety. There's no external reason for this that I can find. The doctors tell me there's nothing wrong with me, so I guess it's fucked-up hormones. It's been like this for years. It was better when I had the Mirena, though, so I'm getting that hardware reinstalled asap. I'm just sick of trying to pack all my living into three days a month.
