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.

This is me trying to be a grownup.

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.

sarameg, I hope ... I dunno what to hope for you. I hope your head does not explode, I hope things get better soon.

Good luck getting through it, sarameg. I hope something that is not you gives.

Final lesson of Tai Chi form! I don't know the names of everything we learned tonight: there was a bit with crossed wrists , step back to Ride the Tiger followed by turning 360 degrees, foot-circles, a double punch, roll back, dragon stance, punch, fade, push, closing. It will be fun to see how much I can do on my own tomorrow morning...next week we do the warmups that start the Saturday practice sessions. I am really looking forward to actually knowing what I'm supposed to do instead of just guessing and giving my mirror neurons a workout!

3k more steps to my daily goal (the Fitbit counted ZERO steps during Tai Chi which does not seem right but it was a lot of slow movement and holding postures I suppose) but I am also kind of hungry. Hm. Maybe a Luna Bar and some jogging in place while I watch 12 Monkeys...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, sara. You are a grownup....

Please god let me be able to hire someone new before I have ease a second person off my team.

I have to send the Dean a report on how we are advancing in the Strategic Plan today. Zzzz.

My fitbit counts zero steps during Bikram, and I think it counts the eliptical as eliptical, not steps, too.

Ben Hatke at the local library tonight, so my daughter will add another signed edition to her library.

Yeah, I'm used to the elliptical not counting for steps, but I usually get one or two hundred steps in an hour of Tai Chi. I think having MobileTrack as an option is confusing the issue.
