Sitting at the Social Security office. This is my fifth visit here in the last two weeks, trying to get some replacement papers for my mom. So much time wasted, OMG.
Man, just ascend already.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, that made me laugh so hard, I had to explain it to my officemate.

Having tons of adventure is directly related to spending tons of money. At least each expedition has been pretty unique, and worth it. There will be some pictures later of the sled dogs, who were all adorable.

I'm glad you're having a good experience, Theodosia.

I'm trying really hard to be productive because I have so many deadlines, but it's really hard to find motivation when you're in the middle of a reorg.

Many of the key people I need to do my work are only focused on Ebola right now, and the country where most of my work relates to is going through a political/military crisis (don't call it a coup). It's a little tricky to get stuff done! Luckily (?) I have plenty of admin work to do....

Not to be a one-upper!
One thing I will say, people actually wash their hands in the bathroom here. Unlike my last job.

I was gonna say that my reorg anxiety doesn't really compete with Ebola. THANKS, JESSE.
Neither does the fact that I tried to grab a meat & cheese calzone at lunch so I could eat my feelings and discovered that it was a whole-wheat kale calzone upon cutting into it. I voluntarily eat kale all the time, but the lack of sausage and pepperoni was very disappointing to me today.
