I have not been to Seville, but I have been to Barcelona and it was pretty great. I took a train from Barcelona to Figueres to see the Salvador Dali museum.

It's very annoying to be having a good day of feeling competent and having little pain but still having the voice in the back of the head going "it's a trap, something's waiting, it's not like you deserve it." Not anxiety, but guilt for contemplating being happy. How dare I be happy when so many people aren't. Bah.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I also vote Barcelona for the architecture.
-t, may they offer you a really good salary! because you deserve it.
I think many business interactions would be facilitated if we were allowed to start emails with "FFS, dude, WTF r u doing?"
Glad the Pallas cat is safe! It's okay that there will be no Pallas cat/feral housecat community in the hills. (Yet.)
I've spent the whole morning trying to get the formatting specs on a certain type of article. We only starting running this type of article a few years ago, and apparently there are no specs. Every journal that's running them is doing their own thing. Like, IDGAF personally, if you want me to make shit up as I go, I can do that. But, y'know, say so. And don't then yell at me for making an executive decision when no one could tell me what I should do.

I desperately want to respond to the vendor who keeps asking me for specifics, "I don't freaking know, Asha, I'm making this up as we go!" But that's probably obvious to her by now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"I don't freaking know, Asha, I'm making this up as we go!" But that's probably obvious to her by now.
Ah, 90% of my conversations at work.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
At work we're in the process of drawing up procedures and specs for something we've been doing with, er, unsustainable levels of variability up to this point. It's been quite the experience.

That sounds exciting.
So, I am told that I will be getting exactly the same salary I was getting before. Accounting has demanded that I stay with them through February because Audit, I don't know what that means for my pay because I have not gotten the official offer letter yet. "It's just a formality" says HR "I'll email it to you shortly".
But, whatever, I have a cupcake and some tacos.

Here's a charge on the company card I like to see - $1k at Ben and Jerry's for employee desserts.

Was just wondering what was on TV tonight, then went "Oh . . . right. Well, this is why I have Netflix." I think this is my eighth run through of Miss Fisher.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I plan on watching last night's Black Panther red carpet.
