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.

I think I managed to break my little toe again. Blue, swollen, painful. Ow.

Is it wrong that I find Duck Dynasty sort of delightful?
Next week is the debut of a new hillbilly* reality show set in the hills and hollers just 20 miles west of our huge university campus.
Many people are afraid that it will reflect poorly on our community, but others say that the characters involved have "a lot of heart" and that their spirit will triumph over the crass TV people who intend to exploit them.
- the locals insist that they are not actually hillbillies but are "hilljacks." The distinction evades me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
All sympathies, Jesse and family.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

According to my cousin, a self-identified hillbilly, "hilljacks" are a step below on the rung.

The Duck Dynasty folks seem to be enjoying themselves, anyway. All the way to the bank, one assumes.
