Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know what a workplan is. Fortunately, I don't think it's part of my job description to know. Or if it is, no one's told me.

Yeah, I'm not saying it's a thing anyone should know, but this person really should! Or should have asked at some earlier time. (But it's literally a list of things you plan to do. For your work. Depending on how that's defined.)

Sounds like what I have to put as yearly goals, but probably more specific. My goals always are "Meet requirements for position."

Fingers crossed she was like "OH, duh, I was overthinking it/had it under a different name"? I hate the occasional times when I do that (though recently someone else was asking something super basic of me, and i was like "...uhhhh, seriously?")

I ate more raspberries today. I think I may in fact have developed a sudden (mild) allergy. DO NOT WANT!! WTF, body?? I've never had any food allergies before.

Sorrrrt of. She was already going to do a Gantt chart, which I said could serve the purpose. She's just not that resourceful. She's all, "I've heard of a log frame, but I don't really know what it is." It's a thing you can google, is what!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Things I never thought I'd say, part whatever: "Don't bite daddy's sneaker!"

Note: Daddy was not wearing the sneaker at the time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have another hour plus of work but everything that needs doing is way more effort than I want to put forth.

That sucks, meara!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm so used to voting for the losing measures that I'm always shocked when one wins (other than the library measures; they always seem to pass). Though I like to think I'm just building up voting karma for this year's general election. Give me this one, political karma, and I'll forgive you for the pot measure not passing.

But Kasich just signed the bill to legalize medical marijuana, which I totally did not expect him to do.

I was just reading about that. I was surprised, too!

I just cannot continue at this pace. It's been what, a month? My routine tasks are being completely ignored and will probably implode. I'm getting MEAN, which I'm not fond of. I'm always pretty straightforward, but now my frustration and exasperation iare coloring my words, not just the facts.

I do think I'm finally forging a work relationship with the newest archive scientist, so that's good.

But I'm really annoyed with our developers. You wrote the code, you debug it! Since you never wrote a fucking user manual or any sort of docu, we can only guess at what we're seeing until you tell us! I know you're oversubscribed, but we're barely functioning and this is not sustainable.

Ahrg.

Aaaand just sent email to boss that will mean more work in short term, but less in long. Except I have no time.

But points for proactive. Ism. Or something.
