Good luck to everyone with house needs!

I am slogging through work stuff that is so twisted and complicated AND was initially done wrong. So everyone now working on it is awesome but it still takes us so much effort to figure out how it should be, because right now it's not.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm supposed to be doing mid-year reviews, for myself and others. Why the eff we do them now is kind of a mystery. We do the mid-year 8 months into the fiscal year, and then are supposed to complete the annual before the end of the FY!

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

::waves::

Have been traveling all day, over my data plan limit, alas. Currently waiting for delayed train, hoping delay is not too much longer...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm pretty sure at this point I'm not getting a year-end review (my boss has only been my boss for three weeks, and my grandboss hasn't reached out to schedule anything, and I'm leaving in less than two weeks) and now I wish I hadn't put in all that effort writing my self-appraisal!

My daughter just told me a test was postponed because half her class is out with flu. Yikes, I am terrified now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Everyone, go get your flu shot if you haven't already.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I feel moderately lousy from this sinus infection, but then I read about the flu just getting out of hand, and I think, okay, I got the better deal on that one. (I got my flu shot in October.)

Our wings are not tired

Except birthdays for you and Pix!!

Birthday for Pix, mine isn't until April.

Video conference call was very good, looks like more work with one of the clients I really like.

Excellent! Customers that you like are so much better. Also, not you and Pix, silly! Maria and Pix.

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.

We got our flu shots in October too. By "we" I mean residents and some of the staff and myself. A few days ago, one of the residents started sneezing and coughing. I started coughing a couple days ago. No fevers. I figured it was just a nasty cold. But today the day program called me to come get the person, because she was so sick. I won't go into details, you can imagine. I took her to the ER and she tested positive for influenza. While I was waiting for her discharge orders, I called my own primary care NP and asked for Tamiflu, too. By gum, that diabetes diagnosis is handy; they don't give out Tamiflu to "healthy" people, but she hooked me up fast.
