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

My work started this "Theme Wall" last year where we are encouraged to put up something signifying our theme for the year, whatever that may be. They are just getting around to doing it again for this year. I couldn't think of a theme last year, and this year I think mine would have to be along the lines of "Behold my field of fucks, see how barren it lies" preferably in cross-stitch, but that's gotta be NSFW

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

-t, I hope this works. And if it did, would it work at your work?

I'll stop, now.

I was considering that, Bev! I think people would just be confused. Which might be acceptable, I'll have to think about it.

Maybe a picture pf an empty pond with a "No ducks given" caption. Hm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Each person has to have their own theme for work for the year? That's ridiculous. Even when I like my job, if they asked me that, I would have to put the destroying-the-printer scene from Office Space. Or similar.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Speaking of ridiculous, a bunch of my friends work in a certain field, and also one of their roommates is the reporter for that field for the local paper. (Not sure why I feel like I should be circumspect here, but I do!) So when one friend is reading in the paper about how maybe she's going to lose her job, it's the other friend's roommate who wrote the story! That just feels awkward.

We don't have to, it's encouraged. Supposed to be empowering or something. I didn't do it last year.

Oh my, that does sound awkward!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Again, I am reminded of the benefits of not working in an office. Actually, I don't think I've ever had an office job.

Our wings are not tired

I'm barely awake from 9am to 11pm, much less working that entire stretch.

I work days like this or longer more often that I should probably admit.

I am so full of don'wanna about work. In general, but moreso today. I feel productive, and that I want to Get Things Done! Just not work things.
