Spent the weekend with family in Michigan. Celebrated birthdays with my nieces who are turning four and six. With no internet to distract me, I managed to finish two books.

I had my performance review this morning. There weren't really any surprises, but now I'm filled with anxiety and dread and frustration because I keep getting conflicting directives about what I'm supposed to be doing with my time. I just want to get out, but I have no idea if/when anyone from another org will want to hire me.

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

That sounds really frustrating, shrift. I hope you find yourself in a better situation soon. Way nice weekend!

I cannot condone the destruction of absinthe by any method other than digestion.

Does it make you feel better if only the vapors are ignited? And there is some inhalation of smoke/vapors involved?

I feel like I didn't get any sleep. But I did!

The good news is my performance review was rescheduled due to my boss suddenly having to travel all week. Good because I hadn't actually done my self-review part. Oops

I had a dream that we had a kitten at work. Also I kept losing clothes/shoes and trying to figure out how to get new ones (so I wouldn't be half naked or unclothed). And then they hired someone from one of my sites without asking me about her and I was so mad I told them I was going to quit. Which was awkward. Glad that part was just a dream! The kitten was fun though.

Go look at the windmap right now, it's kinda awesome: [link]

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I love the wind map. It's like a lava lamp.

Hey, I've got another article about Ebola! It's by clinicians at the Univ. of Nebraska Medical Center, which is one of the 4 medical centers in the country with the specialized biocontainment patient care units.

I feel like a ghoul for being excited about this. Yay medical editing!

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

The wind map is especially exciting today! I wonder if those clashing swirls of wind translate to storms.

Steph, I think I'd rather be reading about Ebola than wireless personal area networks right now.

The clash in Denver is definitely resulting in a storm. We had our high of 50 something an hour ago and our low is expected to be 19 with snowfall and accumulation.

A good amount of wind in Utah this morning. We're looking at snow tomorrow.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's like a lava lamp.

I really hope everyone else is hearing this in Gillian Anderson's voice from that X-Files episode of the Simpsons?

Drano can eat through pipes. I've seen it happen and gotten the bill.
