One of my co-workers has taken in a beautiful little tortoiseshell cat that was living in the woods near her house, and brought her up to the office to recover from being spayed. This cat is so friendly she had to have been someone's pet, and I can't imagine anyone turning her out in the cold. (Fortunately her coat is perfect for hiding her in winter underbrush, hence the name Camo.)

My annual review is in half an hour. I'm not anxious about it, but I do plan to bring up my coworker's micromanaging, so I'm a little queasy.

Glad it went well, Jesse

I love torties, Matt

My morning Tai Chi class was cancelled today, and I should be spending the time getting ready for work and heading over to campus early. Instead I am futzing around online, but in my defense I am also eating breakfast. That counts, right?

I know that feeling, Dana. I hope it goes away soon.

Eating breakfast is definitely included in "getting ready for work"! I'm about to eat lunch -- people from Jimmy John's showed up with free sandwiches for us!

I am also trying out my new "computer glasses," and they are good, except for the switching. I would have thought I spent hours literally just looking at the computer but that has not been true so far this morning. It's a lot of switching!

Because the Beastie Boys are stuck in my head I had a dream last night that involved their music. I was having to learn or teach someone a rap and involved Hamilton, the Beastie Boys, and JayZ. It went from

after the war, we went back to New York

Into Empire State of Mind.

Snowing. I'm tired of snow. A foot of snow in the mountains yesterday, another foot expected today, which hallelujah for the water year, but really, I'm tired of it.

Something with a brief swirl of big fluffy flakes that are pretty on the daffodils, that's good, but this wall of cloud against the office windows with white, swirling bits--no. It's nearly April. Go home, winter, you're drunk.

My aspiration went fine, no follow up, so that's good.

YAY!

I would have thought I spent hours literally just looking at the computer but that has not been true so far this morning. It's a lot of switching!

This is why I've worn bifocals for years. So much easier.

I do plan to bring up my coworker's micromanaging, so I'm a little queasy.

I hope this is going well.

If I hadn't had my iron levels checked fairly recently, I'd think my anemia was getting crazy. Second day in a row I woke up rested but within a few hours, I'm exhausted.

I will say this for my manager, our review meetings are not unreasonably padded. It was all fine, and I will send her an example of the kind of micromanaging I'm talking about.

Now, more caffeine.

I took a personal day, because I have a dentist appointment later, and I also needed to get my drivers license renewed. But! My trip to the DMV only lasted, like, ten minutes! Now I have most of the day free.
