How many job applications are realistic before my head explodes? Five?
I think my record was 272.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Amy, the way I remember Unemployment, they required five per week, including simply calling temp agencies that I was already signed up with to let them know I was available. So, yeah, five in one day is excellent.

272? Not in one day, surely?!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, I had a similar reaction. Or, to put it in board language, oh, so now the hedge fund billionaires want to be part of the solution?
I mean, it's nice and everything, and obviously philanthropy is my job and pays my salary, but: UGH, the WORLD.
Relatedly, some people want to protest our board meeting tomorrow, over a controversial board member. I can't help but believe there won't actually be many people who come, since it's such a hassle to get here. But fingers crossed.

Punishingly Intricate
Meeting with grandboss in 45 minutes. Gah am nervous! I have a pretty easy-going relationship with her but am feeling like I will be revealed as a fraud! Like you do. Also I'm a little anxious that I'll be somehow repremanded for going around my direct supervisor? This is not a reality based fear. I'm pretty sure.

You can do it, Lisa! It will be good!

I love that you call her (him?) "grandboss." Heh. And don't be nervous! Breathe.

Just had a meeting with my boss. It was our mid-year performance review even though we are just getting into the time for year end self-evals. Anyway, we are moving forward with making a case for me to move up a grade level. And I am being encouraged to go ahead and tweak my current year goals so that they support the grade change.
Yay!

Nice, Suzi!
