And I got my print of O'Keeffe's Radiator Building, Night hung on the wall in my bathroom.
Ooh, good one. I was just looking at that in the huge new comprehensive Art Deco book that came out this year.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So now I have all of the budget information for my department, and my boss is such bullshit! She's acted all along like I somehow got an unreasonably high salary out of them when she hired me. But now I know that while I am slightly over the mid-point for my band, she is all they way over the top of hers! What the actual fuck. The bump I'm getting as "Acting" puts me in the middle of that band, which I would think is totally fine if I hadn't just seen her salary. Hmph.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
This is why "they" don't like us discussing salaries.

Boo, Jesse. (though, yay bump for "acting"?). I gotta leave for the airport momentarily. I hate morning flights but didn't want to fly somewhere on my Labor Day weekend. Grump grump grump.

Are people in other countries as coy as we are about salaries?
It is possible that one of my thermometers is down for the count. It suddenly switched to Centigrade and told me my temperature was 33.3. This seemed unlikely and I found another thermometer that reassured me that my fever was normal. I miss mercury thermometers. They either worked or were a puddle of mercury on the floor to play with.

Good thing you have an extra thermometer!
I am at the airport. Was afraid I'd be late because I got in my car and suddenly remembered that I needed gas, but had thought I'd fill up yesterday only then I didn't drive anywhere yesterday. Oops. Thankfully, had just enough time to grab a water and get in line.

I dunno. I think we did a little salary reveal on Natter once and I recall it being very hard to do.
It was a hard and very busy weekend. After the move, my grandmother is back in the hospital and my mother is worried that my grandmother won't every live in her apartment even though there isn't any seriously wrong right now. We'll see how it goes. I'm scheduled to do some cleaning out of her old place a couple of weeks from now.
I'm feeling stressed about work, personal matters, finances, and all the tasks that need to be done around the house. I'm spending zero time on R&R or on working on my book Cog, but I still seem to be failing at all fronts. I just feel like I can't take any more.

Ooh, good one. I was just looking at that in the huge new comprehensive Art Deco book that came out this year.
Seeing it in person was one of the high points of my recent visit to the Crystal Bridges Museum. It would also be perfect for the fine art component for which I've been scoping out replacement images, if not for the fact that the price tag would be way above our budget.
