I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Go Mac! Drive in a safe and law-abiding manner, like the safe and law-abiding wind!
Note to self: Diet Coke after sunset is a terrible idea. I was forming a new (to me) hypothesis of the fundamental difference between the Dark Side and Light Side of the Dorce at 2 am and now my cinnamon rolls are overcarmelizing.

I should share good news, right? I'm getting a raise, a bigger bonus than I was expecting, and more stock. This morning I lost a post due to a laptop reboot where I was grumbling about not having direct reports but somehow doing the work of a people manager anyway, and this afternoon, my junior team thanked me for all my help.

That's awesome shrift!!
One of my friends who was going to come to Mexico with me during the one week another friend can come has found out she's being sent to Japan for a leadership training. Which is amazing and awesome for her but dang.

Yay shrift!
Tomorrow is my last day of work before this trip. I really need to be more productive right now...

It's like the Force but for dorks? IDK
Congrats, shrift, that's all good to read! (FYI, originally typed your name as shridt so I guess this is just what happens when I don't get enough sleep)
Fie on being productive before vacation, Consuela. Fie I say! (Ha, typed those right, I guess the coffee is kicking in)

I am at a coffee shop trying to be productive. It's mostly sort of working—I had to leave the bagel place (Montreal-style, which makes me think of ita) because their WiFi kept glitching.

I only listen to the radio when my clock radio comes on in the morning. Good lord, the deluge of Christmas ads! Everything can be a gift idea! Oil changes! Jewelry! Insurance! And don't forget the sick kids! I'm so glad I found a way to play my music library in the car.
ION, while perfecting my chicken alfredo casserole, I discovered the mythical land of Too Much Cheese. I didn't think it existed, but it does. Fortunately I retraced my steps to the place of Balanced Flavor and Not a Gloopy Mess.

That's great, shrift!
I just had the last meeting of the year. Tomorrow I work from home, and then I'll be allegedly off work until 1/2/18.
A project of mine just had a soft launch today, though, and while someone else is nominally looking after it while I'm off, I'll probably find myself checking in occasionally anyway. But not because it's expected—I'm just curious about how it'll go.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good news, shrift!!
I think I'm out of fires to put out, and still have a day and a half of work this week. I guess that's a good thing, but I'm afraid it will mean lots of loafing and not that much accomplished.
