Y'all! I just ran outside to tell my next door neighbor about my promotion (and bring her some cocoa dusted truffles) and she volunteered to help with winterizing the yard at the house I work at! What a sweetie!

It's not unbreakable, but using encryption makes it more difficult for government/police to spy on its citizens.

One could also set up a Slack-like service with private hosting and TLS and keep all the data encrypted. Hypothetically.

You know what? If no one will ever give me their availability upfront, meetings are going to get moved, and everyone can fuck right off. I know that one person is "important," but she's totally outside of the chain of command, and only responds to every fifth message, and I don't have time for this bullshit. Fuuuucccckkkk offffff.

Scheduling meetings is a special hell.

This morning I found a sock that had gone missing a month ago. Somehow it got tangled up with some velcro and was in a coat I hadn't worn in a while. Also, I need to go to the Post Office, and there literally is a Post Office across the street from the office I'm working in today.

It's not much in the positive column, but I'll take it.

I started packing today. I have four piles: take now (which must remain extremely small), save to hopefully ship later, give away, and toss. It's getting real. But at the same time I still live with my now ex husband and he still treats me like crap so my life is the same day to day. It's so bizarre.

Ugh, Callaluna, it's not like moving across the ocean needs anything to make it worse. Wishing you strength and "toss it" ~ma.

I got lunch today from one of those sushi "burrito" places (which is basically just making a sushi roll like normal, but then not slicing it into pieces), and it was really good. It's set up like Chipotle, in that you go along the assembly line and they custom-build what's in it, so (if you're me) you don't have to tolerate pieces of cucumber defiling your sushi. Tasty!

I've now worked in this mall for five months, and just went to PF Chang's for lunch for the first time today! Fried green beans are as delicious as ever, I am pleased to report.

Guys. I just realized the GOP is one state legislature away from being able to call a constitutional convention.

I fear they know this, Volans. So how is that whole Calexit thing going?

Rage fatigue is taking hold. Or maybe it is fear fatigue. My jaw hurts from clenching my teeth.
