Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, there have been rumors for some time that my department was going to be moving spaces. And over the past couple of months, people have said to me that they had definitely heard we were moving, but not people in charge of that kind of thing. Then the other day, people started walking around, looking at our space with blueprints in hand. My boss still has not been told anything official! Then today, there was (a) an all-staff meeting where, if your vision was good enough, you could see where we're going on a new floorplan slide, and (b) a colleague came browsing around, commenting on the good light we get! And we still have not been told via channels if/where/when we are moving! It is a little crazy-making.

I found out this afternoon that one of my coworkers is retiring in December, and another is having open-heart surgery. This whole place is like, if you haven't worked here for 10 years, everybody assumes you'll leave and doesn't tell you anything. Which kind of makes you think about leaving...

Maybe I'll become the person in my family who buys the Pepperidge Farm turnovers, now that it's not my grandmother. (I had the most vivid dream with her in it last night -- I've never had a dream like that before.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I got to one of my classes today and realized that I hadn't brought enough copies of the quiz I was giving. (I had MADE enough copies, and then left half of them on my desk.) There wasn't time to go back to my office and get the other copies. The building I was in had the department office of another department, though, so I went in there, found someone, explained the situation, and asked if I could use their copying machine. She said no. It was for department use only. I begged. She found someone higher-up, and after a lot more pleading on my part, I was allowed to make the copies, but with a warning that this would be the ONLY time I would be allowed to, and that this could not be a regular thing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not like she paid them for the paper either!
