Because I am an impatient soul, I booked next year's Vegas trip today. I'm being decadent and flying first class. I even scheduled a bus tour to the Grand Canyon, which I haven't seen in 40 years (or longer, sheesh). I'm looking forward to buying some petrified wood souvenirs.
Easy Bake. Flop-a-palooza. Woosh. Pop. I don't skulk.

Our wings are not tired.
I didn't read the follow up on Ask A Manager because I just didn't think I could deal with any more stupidity and horror. This is why we have Trump.
When are you going to Vegas, Connie? I haven't been in about forever.
shrift, early flights are early, but I always choose them. Get it over with. Less likely to be delayed.
Went out for drinks with a friend who works at EPA tonight. ARGH. It's all terrible.
The morale levels must be pitiful.
eta: I really should stop watching/reading morning news and go for a walk instead. It would be so much healthier.

But Laura, it's so dark and early and I hate everything.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And then you'll be there! (Where ever there is.)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Naturally, on a morning I didn't have to get up for anything, I was up before 7.

I'm waiting to board. There are too many people at the airport and all the lines are long. Waiting for my coffee too cool down so I can drink it.
I am going to Chicago for VividCon, which means Rosemont and not actually Chicago.

Have a good flight and a good con, shrift!
I actually weeded the front yard for half an hour while it's relatively cool this morning. Still drenched in sweat. But righteous. And with time to shower etc before work.

Zen, I somehow missed the Social Engagement in the Office stuff until this morning - that's too funny. As a disinterested bystander, I think you should advocate for less social engagement! If nothing else, teams that have a "devil's advocate" member produce better results. So.

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.
Dear Staff Member:
It's hard to hear your complaints about how I never respond to your concerns when every time I open my mouth to answer you you talk over me. Also the time to berate me for shutting you down on bringing up "little things" is not right after you interrupted my quiet breakfast at home and I asked you to review the policy on when to call your supervisor at home and what constitutes an emergency.
No love,
Me
PS, somebody throwing away a water bottle is not an emergency.
