Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just found this horrifying/awesome graphic: Tim Armstrong's salary, in distressed babies.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Okay, that ongoing sinus ick that I mentioned last week? I'm finally going to the doctor for it today. Not looking forward to more antibiotics, but I am looking forward to feeling better.

I want a three day weekend PLUS Wednesdays off. Pretty much, I wish I did not have to work.

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

I am very much looking forward to retirement! I have quite a while left to anticipate that, alas.

I am booked for Ecuador! Well, I am waiting for the confirmation that I've given them all the info they need to book me for Ecuador, but close enough.

Boot, bra, clothes, and work. This is my morning so far. I'm ready for a nap already but I have three conference calls back to back.

The one advantage of going back to Previous Employer would be getting back on a 9/80 schedule, which means a three day weekend every other week. So useful.

Dad's surgery must be over, I'm waiting for the doctor to come talk to me.

I feel like retirement is going to be wasted when I am old. I wish I could do something like a reverse retirement!

I also have an irrational hatred for the words "Plenary Session" at any conference that is just a tiny tiny thing that no outside people are invited to. It is too formal. Also, this particular "conference" has 4 plenary sessions and lunch. There are no other kind of sessions.

I don't know that that hatred is all that irrational....

Yeah, I think I would like that. It wouldn't fly here, I don't think, because people basically work all the time.

I am pondering aspic(s) today. Why, why, why aspic? I have never had it, and I probably should try, but it seems so unappetizing. But, they were very popular from at least the late 1800's to, like, 1950, right? But WHY?
