I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

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.

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

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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 something from the Beasties that I cannot remember and now cannot make fit

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!

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.

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

Must be review season. I have my preliminary PEP review this afternoon. It's my first at this job, so here's hoping it goes well.

That sounds frustrating. I hope you can find an easily solved cause.
