And it's only for a month. I can do a month, right? Right...

You can do anything for 10 seconds (tm Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt)! A month is just a series of 10-second periods!

My cold I've had since last Friday was getting better. I took all of Sunday doing nothing! And I stayed home Monday. But by yesterday afternoon I had no voice and my throat was super sore. It feels better this morning but I coughed all night and I'm going to stay home and try not to talk. I didn't bring my work laptop home so my ability to work is a bit limited. Not calling in for meetings will actually allow me time to try to get some write-y work done.

Good stuff!

I am having a week where I wish I would get sick instead of this general malaise I am feeling. Bleh. And I'm going to a conference on Saturday. I should have taken vacation this month like everyone else!!

I know that feel.

I got to work before 8am this morning, which is an adulting miracle for me.

Good job!

I am trying to get back on top of things, but there are too many things! I would like to run away from them instead.

You know when you can't ever type a particular word correctly even though you know how to spell it? I am having that problem with "evacuation," and unfortunately, I have to type it approximately one million times! (Although, it came out right on the first try that time, so maybe I'm actually over the hump...)

I got to work before 8 also and it was DRAMA. Not because of my earlier than normal arrival, but because an employee and my boss got into it this morning, had words - there was cursing -, and then the employee pushed boss (this would be 2 bosses up for the employee) like a chest bump. Wha?!? Physical contact is no no no no. So he's fired and boss has to spend the day in a training session something on dealing with frontline conflict. Drama!

ION, I looked at local meet-ups last night and only found a couple of things that look interesting. The idea of taking time for me and just using it to go to yoga, or get a massage, or go to events, is very appealing, but it is not going to get at the core of my unhappiness which is that I have no people here. Of course I immediately think of reasons why none of my ideas or these meet ups will change that, after all, I have met a few people I get along with, but they live in another town, or they are always busy, or or or. Hmmmph

I look at local meetups also, msbelle, and then talk myself out of each one.

Can I get a little test~ma for K-Bug? Today is her big final that covers the whole PT program she has been working on for the last two years. Then she has a clinical and in July she takes her boards to get licensed.

Hey, what's that website that has great advice about worklife/job stuff for women??

There's a job listing I'm interested in responding to but the listing says:

All candidates must include a cover letter identifying their specific business analyst experience as it relates to the job description along with salary requirements.

I know I've seen good advice about how to approach requests for salary requirements in the early stages of the hiring process but I can't remember where! And the whole idea of writing a cover letter is filling me with terror so am stalling until I find that advice!

My fingers always want to put a b in numerous even though my brain knows it doesn't belong.
