I am so tired of living life in 30-day increments. I got another 30-extension for something to pop.
I'll just keep busting my ass, and hope I don't go insane in the meantime.
A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So it turns out that remembering as you're falling asleep that your headphones are not in your purse and thinking "Remember this in the morning. Remember this in the morning." does not actually work as a strategy for remembering your headphones.
Also, no moon for us last night. Boo.

That sucks, Maria.
That strategy never works for me either, Dana, and yet I keep trying.
I somehow unplugged my keyboard from the computer. That was surprisingly hard to figure out from the symptoms (no idea how I did it, it was clearly plugged in when I logged in and I was not crawling under my desk unplugging things at any point the way I had to to plug it back in).
I don't think I am on board with today and would like to go back to bed.

No moon for us either, Dana. I was bummed.
Also, if you could make that strategy work, you'd be rich.

Co-sign. Can I just have more weekend instead?

Didn't we elect Zenkitty Dictator for Life? Surely she has that power.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ugh, birthday weekend hangover. I hope Matilda outgrows birthday parties before they kill us.
She had the last piece of fancypants birthday cake for breakfast.
And we'll be eating leftover pizza all week, I expect.
I was very pleasantly surprised to be able to see the eclipse from our back porch. We never get to see anything in the sky in SF, so that was a low expectations exceeded type moment.
Now I must wash socks.

I have a meeting with the big big boss and my union rep in less than an hour because they are monkeying with my flextime arrangement for no good reason (that I can see.) I am fighting it on the principle of the thing more than anything...if I lose it's not a great hardship. But it's another sign of my workplace being less than hospitable to workers. Wish me luck.

Crush them, Sue! Make them rue the day!

Good luck, Sue. Hold their feet to the fire.

Thanks guys.
I am letting my union rep do all the talking.
