Made 3rd call.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

2 of the 3 calls resulted in Nothing. Msg left with school counselor and I did not have all the info required for the IRS for the person to open my file (still working on resolution to get my 2014 refund).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm kinda waiting for the next week to start clean.
I keep doing that and...it's been like a month and a half. Not good.
Good job making the calls even if you are not getting results, msbelle.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm trying to expedite the person who's scheduling my steroid shots. She's working on it right now, and me calling and nagging her will probably not help.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
We had a mandatory all-staff meeting on Tuesday ... our big boss has mastered how to cut off the one guy who likes to blather for extended periods of time AND cut off his displaying tiny unreadable charts (really - dark gray on light gray is NOT a good idea). But I am always surprised by the number of people who cannot sit still for extended periods of time - twitching, rocking back and forth in their chair, twirling in their chair ... makes ME twitchy.

My boss just declared it "Make Faith & Sara Mad Day."
It's been that kind of morning.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'm one of those. I have to fidget if I'm sitting for a long period of time, otherwise I'll fall asleep. I try to fidget quietly, like tensing & releasing leg muscles, but sometimes that's not enough.

We just started having "fidget toys" available during meetings, supposedly to stimulate creative thought. They're very popular. I just fiddle with my pen and doodle, since those have been my mechanisms for a long time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can't sit still for long periods of time. I either twirl pens or play with a fidget cube, and fortunately I work in an office where standing up to pace back and forth during a meeting is a totally normal thing to do.
