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.)

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]

mmm... cider! that sounds yummy.

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

12 years to retirement.

I just saw a Facebook ad for "office-appropriate yoga pants."

....No.

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.

Home office, right?

Right?!?!?!?!?!??!

I wear yoga pants to work sometimes. The pair in question have pockets, and I wear them with long tunics or kurtas that come down to my knees.
