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.

I'm being productive and getting things done and getting flack for not being EVEN MORE productive and getting EVEN MORE things done, so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I guess Easter is officially over for me because I had my last egg salad sandwich for dinner with my last Cadbury cream egg for dessert.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I had a 7AM meeting which didn't include half of the team, presumably because of Passover, and which lasted about 15 minutes, so frankly I fail to see why it was really necessary.

I've done all the things in prep for my trip to NC tomorrow. Except play dress up to figure out what to wear & then pack. Now I just have to figure out when to leave. The problem is NoVa. Leave stupid early, get in way earlier than needed, leave a mere hour later, add an hour of drive. Because I'm me, heading straight to Y once I hit Greensboro and swim out the drive.

Then it's 36 hours of peopling. In a place I haven't been in 21 years.

And I'm still not hungry after last night's meal with Maria at [link] (but I still likeCocina Luchadoras' tortillas better. Fillings are of a similar quality. But it's good food and interesting cocktails. I had what was a barely sweet limeade with mezcal, but it was smokey. It was amazing.)

Memorial service for my physics prof, Rex Adelberger. In conjunction with physics reunion, but I never go to those, but for this.

It's weird, think fairly fondly of my college experience, but cut most ties & never looked back. But my freshman April started with a memorial service for the prof who recruited me & Rex kept us together the next few years, even in his own grief (was his best friend.) so I feel like I need to close this circle with another April.
