My perpetually late and morning-hating coworker scheduled a meeting for 9AM. She is not yet online. You may ask why she schedules meetings at 9AM. Why indeed.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's a lot!
In other work news, it looks like I'm going to move to a less-nice office with a better-for-me location. That seems like a fair trade-off. But I do want to go scope out the office to check.

So this is awesome. Coworker is completely alienating a person who's supposed to be helping us, and we've spent all 20 minutes of the meeting going through helper's Windows settings to try and change the color of a setting in Windows, and it's not meaningless, but this is a really fucking frustrating way to start a Monday.

OMG, Dana.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
when my mom and I were driving to the 5k a couple weeks ago a raptor of some sort swooped lazily across the highway right in front of us. I was seriously concerned that we might hit it, but it knew what it was doing. Mom thought it was too big to be a red-tailed hawk, maybe a Golden Eagle. It was hella impressive from that angle, whatever it was.
Wow!! Usually when that happens to me it turns out to be a turkey vulture. Golden eagle is much better!

I saw a hawk sailing down into a ditch alongside the highway when I was driving home from St. Louis Saturday, but a golden eagle definitely has that beat.
(Folks will still have to work to outdo the bald eagle buzzing us on the lakeshore as the eclipse was reaching totality last year though!)

Crap, I had a good few hours and then my productivity screeched to a halt. At least I have meetings from 1:30 until I have to go get a mammogram. This afternoon is going to be great.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That is awesome. Matt!
Sorry, Dana.
This has sat open for a couple of hours without me posting. Oops.

I should go out driving to make a little more money, but I feel sluggish. Even though we're supposed to get 9 freaking inches of snow on Wednesday!
