Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, my afternoon turned into kind of a clusterfuck, but it all turned out OK in the end. I guess. Oy.

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

Left my phone at work. So that's swell.

Have not gotten to the ends of today's clusterfucks, alas.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Grades are in! I'm heading out to a colleague's retirement dinner.

Second night of driving to and swimming at Towson. Still hate the drive. Getting better at turns in that pool and not slamming my hand into the wall. So far, the worst lane sharers; I have been clawed and kicked by old white dudes. Ladies and teens are marginally better. Sucky water pressure in the showers. You'd think in a brand new sports facility, good water pressure in the showers might be a thing, but no. Takes forever to rinse the shampoo out. Otoh, at least it is a saltwater pool, so less of an issue of dechlorinating oneself.

I want my pool back!

Well, I"m turning off my workbrain until tomorrow, so that's sort of the end of Monday.

Oh, man, showers with poor water pressure are so disappointing. Salt water pool sounds nice, though.

Enjoy the retirement party, Burrell!

It's not as nice as the filtered ocean pools in Aus. Hello, super bouyancy! And really soft skin after.

You do note the absence of chlorine most (still some, but you can't tell unless you really sniff hard) and regular water tastes slightly sweet after. Chlorine doesn't bug me unless it's at extreme level, though. I know folks with more sensitivity than I love the difference.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

People at my new job keep validating my judgement and taking my ideas seriously. I didn't realize how much my previous job didn't do that until now. It's disconcerting, but nice.
