I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm sorry about your grandmother, Jesse.

Back from Europe! Not really wanting to log into work and see what I have to deal with.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, Jesse. Peace and strength to you and yours in the coming days.

Ugh, zen, that does sound like drama. Was the drama of deactivation related to you or just overall?

When my first response upon arriving to work is "well, fer fuck's sake" you know it is going to be a charmer of a day. Capped off by a dental appointment.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And logging into work, I have discovered that my flaky coworker, who was hired in January, has resigned and her last day is August 30.

I wonder if this will affect my theoretical end date of September 30.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Like, they won't let you leave?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My proposal when I moved to Texas was that I continue to work long-distance. They said, not long-term, only until August 15. That's already been extended once to the end of the fiscal year. They've hired my replacement (someone from my team who is great). But losing someone else on the team is kind of huge, especially with so little notice.

It's messy. And OH MY GOD, the resigning person is such a flake. Who, in her defense, was treated horribly by our insane manager.

Oh, I see. Yeah, that sounds messy.
