Ah ha ha ha -- after working some on my performance review, I was taking some deep breaths and clicking around online to try to calm down, went to Facebook, and the top "trending news" thing was "Anxiety: Women Nearly Twice as Likely as Men to Have Anxiety, Study Shows." HA HA HA.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just finished writing performance reviews yesterday and only have two more meetings about them to go! Woo!
Ice cream would make us all feel better.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I support ice cream especially if it's going to make people feel better. Alas, I doubt its curative powers over nausea... unless the nausea is a symptom of low blood glucose.... Gud, have you had enough to eat this morning?

Aw, Gud. Happy birthday to Leif and I hope you feel better right quick.
Facebook algorithm a little too on the nose there, eh, Jesse?

JUST A LITTLE.
I would also like ice cream, but have had a donut and some chocolate instead. Good times. If I had been seeing more job postings I'd be interested in, I would seriously consider quitting without a new job.

Someone remind me to stop arguing with the guy who seems to be mansplaining mixed beers on Facebook. We get it: you think those of us who like a harmonized shandy aren't worthy beer drinkers.
But it's still pissing me off.
Also, stop bringing German beer into the equation. German beer ain't all that.

So not worth your time, PMM.
Now I want beer and a donut. THANKS

I have to work on my performance review too! Mostly to come up with goals for my new position. There's a list of recommended goals and I have to pick 2-3 and then come up with measurable ways to evaluate them. Which is the hard part. Also depressing: the goals that are pre-chosen, I've already failed at (it's not really my fault but still! I'm not used to being a 1 or 2 instead of a 4 or 5!)

Punishingly Intricate
One of the best parts of quitting my job last year and not having gotten another perm job yet is that I didn't have to write up a performance review this year!

I did have something to eat this morning and it made things worse. Still, not as bad as the day I had to pull over and throw up on my way to work.
Ugh. Performance reviews are not fun.
