The email I sent was more diplomatic than the ones I didn't send, but I'm not sure it was essentially diplomatic. It takes me a few tries to get the vitriolic sarcasm out. She hasn't responded yet.

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

My boss just replied to an email from me by insinuating that I don't know what my job is or how to do a simple thing I've been doing for years.
Hah. I had a call this morning from a matrix report who got a one am email last night from a VIP saying "I'm used to [prior person in your role] being able to do this for me."
She's not doing it for you because you said many times over the last few weeks that you didn't need her help. Now its due Tuesday and she's booked up. Deal with it.

So if anyone needs cheering up this morning, check out this marvelous video of divers and seals. (Note: this interaction would be pretty illegal in the US: you're not supposed to engage with marine mammals, for their own protection.)

Because books.
They're like giant sea dogs!

They really are!
Also, Chicagoland Buffistas might be intrigued to hear that my brother's restaurant business is expanding again: they're going to open a cider-based place downtown. [link]

She hasn't responded. Typical. She probably won't.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just saw a Facebook ad for "office-appropriate yoga pants."

Sweet! I've recommended Farmhouse at my office and look forward to the new place, because I could go for a bucket of cider right now.
Also very cool: starting next week, a coworker is holding daily morning meditation sessions. I'm going to make sure I haul my ass into the office in time to go to them when I'm not traveling for work because I clearly need more structure in my life.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Home office, right?
