I think we might be eligible for Canada? But not for Australia . Of course if Clinton turns the US into a socialist wonderland I'll be on the first plane over.
Inara: We thought we lost you. Mal: Well, I've been right here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As long as you're healthy and traditionally employed, the system here works great!

Holy cow, I am not in the right frame of mind to be cheerful and interested for a 7AM meeting.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
There are rumors about layoffs at my company. Well, they aren't rumors, practically a whole department got laid off. The rumor is they're eyeing Books next, since that department has never been profitable. (And I'm all, "but aren't we a non-profit?" Still gotta make money, I guess.) My gossipy coworker who's my conduit to the grapevine is fearing our department will be next. I doubt it, we're the most profitable department besides sales/marketing, but you never know what our evil overlords are planning.
I don't know how much to fret. Some job~ma would be appreciated, if you can spare some.

I hope that you can get away with just being present and no one insists on cheerful & interested.
job~ma, Zen. Even if they don't hit your dept, it will change company culture.

Oof, good luck, Zen.
Holy cow, I am not in the right frame of mind to be cheerful and interested for a 7AM meeting.
I would literally never be in that frame of mind. I guess I should be grateful that our folks in other time zones mostly accommodate us here.

Our wings are not tired.
Hello New Natter!
Yikes Zen, job~ma.
Eating leftover pizza for breakfast and catching up a bit. Heart warmed this morning by loving thoughts in email and on line.

I am never happy for the 7AM meeting, but this morning I was just not able to deal with the stupid little things that I'd normally ignore. I was mostly a seething, silent pile of resentment.
But! That's done, and the packers are here.

I continue to get Trump campaign emails, and they are so second rate compared to the Clinton campaign! This morning, they are offering "a free personal gift from Mr. Trump" with my donation, but no indication of what it is! The Clinton campaign constantly asks for my input on bumper sticker slogans, wants me to buy merch, offers me "free" buttons, etc. but it's all very specific. How do I even know if I want the thing Mr Trump wants to send me?? (Spoiler alert: I don't want it.)
