Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am once again having that nagging feeling that if I just gave up sleeping I could manage my life ok.

I have the opposite feeling -- my life would be more manageable if I were sleeping more.

Unfortunately, I will never sleep again. My best team member just gave notice! This is on top of another open position and someone going out on medical leave for six weeks. In our busy time.

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

I think I am finally dealing and solving the 2014 tax issue. Fingers crossed we resolve this today ( since I have discovered I made the error and egatvthe solution is) . I might get to scratch one item off the Rebecca Boston Human Disaster evidence list.

I am on hold with IRS and have already made some headway with them by providing the data I left off my initial return.

Ugh Jesse. Is any of it clerically work you can just get a temp in to be a pair of hands?

If only!

Also if only any of the other applicants for the job I just filled (by promoting an internal person) seemed good still.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

So apparently Tillerson had a presser to neither confirm nor deny that he called Trump a moron.

Much health~ma for your friend, Matt.

I seem to be coming out of an insomniac phase, which is nice. Now that it's in the 50s at night, I can leave the window partly open and snuggle down under multiple blankets and a cat. I do some of my best sleeping that way.

My department is undergoing a re-org. There seems to be a place for me in the new structure, but it's always nerve wracking waiting to see how these things pan out.

Apparently Tillerson called a press conference just to say he had no intention of leaving. Given the general level of honesty and consistency from this administration, I figure he'll be out by the end of the month.

Our wings are not tired.

Health~ma for your friend, Matt.

Tillerson gone would be nice, but Pruitt and DeVos are even worse. The competition for worst swamp scum in this administration is seriously tough.

There's probably a White House staffer with his personal belongings in a box waiting in the wings of the press conference.

In other news, I believe our handbasket has arrived at its destination. Behold, more Belindas in the wild: [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Resolution~ma, msbelle!

Good luck with that, Jesse.

Good lord. I am now stamping paper invoices with a "received" stamp. I feel like I have gone back in time.
