Ooh, my boss's boss finally reached out for my feedback on her annual review. You're supposed to get feedback from direct reports, but he never did it last year. I was actually thinking about proactively sending him a note about how she's a great boss, but now I feel pressure!

Waiting for a webcast to start, and they're basically playing hold music. It's something Baroque, like Handel, but it's being performed with guitar, maybe an upright bass for the continuo, and marimba.

Okay, it just went to a regular version of Water Music, which is sadly more boring and standard.

That sounds fantastic.

That sounds way better than my company's hold music!

I think as long as you are not the neighbor who calls the cops on Airbnb people because they are black, you're good...

Quiet Tuesday.

I've been a bit more engaged in FB recently because I joined the NYT's Reader Center Group. There are only a few hundred in the group and the admins or members will link to an article and discuss away. A range of geographic and demographic members, although clearly left leaning for the most part. I think I got an invite because of being a subscriber originally, then it was a delay of some time before being accepted. If anyone here is interested in these types of groups check out the header here. [link] - I can always send an invite from inside the group too if you are interested. I think it is rather a new group, but it seems promising for current event type discussions.

So I got a work invite to an employee assistance program seminar (not weird), titles Clean living". It mentions "detox". Is it wrong for me to sign up for it simply so that if it is full of bullshit fake science I can complain? Because...

It probably would be more effective to complain if you signed up. Unfortunately.

Timelies all!

The weather is nice here today. Wish I could go out and enjoy it, but there's that pesky work thing...

That seems all right.

After work, I went and saw an old friend giving a talk on campus, which was very cool, except the best parts were in French. Which I don't speak. Ah well.

Tep, my sock recommendation are the short sockwells (unless you have a thing with wool). They do not slide and they are a little compressiony around my arch which helps with plantar fasciitis.
