There's something deeply wrong with a workplace culture that makes people as uber capable as msbelle and juliana feel unfit for work. They're the problem, not you.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

I got a wierd call from my boss yesterday. Internal audit had called him about my timesheets, asking general audit questions and questions about teleworking. I'm not an official teleworker. By the time I looked into making it official this year, they said they weren't approving any new requests. Plus, the teleworking requirements would cost me more money than I'd like to spend.
He said not to worry about anything but just wanted to give me a head's up. To that I say, wtf?

I killed Natter. Oooops.
Teppy - wanted to say thanks for your help with 504 resources. We had our meeting last week and were able to address a bunch of stuff. Now it is just a matter of both the teachers AND CJ doing their parts. So far so good - he has 1 A, 2 B's and 2 C's. And the B's are close to A's with the C's being close to B's - so at least he isn't starting in a hole.

Going back to the being unfit for work thing, when I was younger I used to think I used to think that I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have a job. Like it would be great for a little while but not long term.
Now I think retirement would be awesome and how soon can I make that happen?

I have never ever felt like that. It bewilders and confuses me when people say things along those lines.

I have never ever felt like that.
I don't even understand how I ever felt like that. But that was a time before I moved to a big city, before Netflix and ebooks and digital comics and free online classes. And, you know, getting older and actually realizing that my time is limited?
