I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

It was a Day. I have a colleague who I shall refer to as TINO who was unbeliably obnoxious, unprofessional, and entitled today to the point that I had to get a supervisor involved. And since TINO is a behind the scenes IT type person, he can make my life really difficult next year. But I couldn't let it go given how inappropriate it was and how unwilling he was to meet face to face to resolve it.

Damn it, TINO!

Also I just got home and discovered that the gas company shut our line down because they are fumigating the back house...which has a separate gas line. They shut them both down, apparently. I don't think I can blame TINO, but I'm going to anyway. Fucking Tino.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Through me not paying attention and a shoddy public transportation system I left work at 6:30, and I am not going to get home until 9:45. Currently I am on the wrong bus and I am going to have wait for it to get to the end of the line, take a 20 minute break and then go back to the transfer station.

Tino appears to have forgotten that a school is about the students, not the adults. Tino needs to figure that shit out if he wants to work at a school.

It sounds like it was a rough day for several people. Virtual hugs or (for non-hugging types) understanding smiles.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Yesterday, at day 1 of a 2 day training, I humiliated a Tino (favorite quote -- "Just because your title has the word expert in it doesn't make it true") and today, I kept my mouth shut while my coworkers derailed a presentation that was incompetent.

I love my department members.

My favorite Tino quote from today: “I’m not some wounded deer.”

No really.

“I’m not some wounded deer.”

Good god.

I am going to Austin in October for the Austin City Limit Music Festival. Sure it is 5 months away, but I am scheduling extended me time.
