Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That's efficient.

I have done the look-back and next year's goals part of my review, now I have to do my development plan. I don't want to work on any areas next year! Fuuuuck.

I don't suppose they'd react well to "Next year's goals: Get a great new job somewhere else," would they?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That would be amazing, though.

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 wonder if there are some steps in mental preparation for a job search that you could parlay into development goals - deveoping networking mojo, polishing up some marketable skill that could make you more well-rounded as a candidate, something...

Yikes, shrift. I hope the mindfulness helps!

I should have meditated this morning, because people are complaining all over the place about how I haven't answered their goddamn tickets. I have four more days to answer your stupid ticket, junior employee. Don't start with me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sort of related to the FB discussion from yesterday, someone I have blocked because she only posts about the skincare products she sells DM'd me to see if I knew people she could recruit.

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

I used to put a future goal was to retire. Not received well.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

We aren't allowed to have future goals anymore other than our job description

OMG I would love that. I have no interest in advancement in this company. I am not bonus eligible and have no ambition.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm buying my ticket to New York for mid-July -- shouldn't have waited this long, but with the uncertainty about husband's job, it's delayed us. Even right now, I'm just buying a ticket for me, and he'll either go to NY or not depending on whether he starts a job around then. So now I'm playing airport merry-go-round, trying to figure out what's cheap. My mom did remind me about JetBlue, which I've never flown because it only has a direct flight from Houston to NY.
