It's sort of weird to have a govt shutdown actually impact my work & life. If by midnight, I'm likely going to have to work next Saturday;if still on by midnight Sunday, it's work as usual, the whole exercise will be rescheduled. Still get paid & all, we're indirect. And we're trying to schedule phone screens, so I had to tell hr to wait until Monday to even think about scheduling.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I do, but they don't make the slide-and-voiceover-reading the exact-words-on-the-slide any more interesting.

It also means that for the average person with an expected work week of 50 hours - at least. 20 percent of their time is unproductive.
Reading this after my quarterly goals review meeting where part of the reason I got 90% on my review was because my boss felt I could be more productive - that there are swings in my productivity where I don't get a lot done, and then weeks where I produce a huge amount of work - really hits home.
To be all me me me: I'm on the bipolar spectrum, and in me it manifests as cycles of Doing All The Things, followed by cycles of Ugh Nope Can't. I need to talk to my psych about adjusting my meds. But I'm tired and stressed, I don't want to cope with anything, and I had a meltdown last night after the meeting so now I'm dealing with the crying hangover.
Hi, my name is Jilli, and I'm going to blurt things out at all of you because you make me feel better.

Gah, you'd think I'd learn that editing an article on testicular cancer means that I WILL SEE BALLS.
Cannot unsee.

I guess, technically, I'm getting paid to see balls.
Living the dream over here.

No YOU forgot to order toll tags for new work trucks and now have over $2k bills on 4 vehicles. !!!!
This is not going to be great for my review.
I mean we would have paid 2/3 of that amount anyway, but still a $2.5k error.

Ugh, msbelle. I'm sorry.
{{{Jilli}}} Blurt away.
So, that open position got posted, and I went to look to see what I needed to do to apply and apparently with my old resume on file all I needed to do was click a button. Oops. I'll apply again over the weekend with an updated resume...
