Argh, I am almost out of Adderall and my doctor is apparently no longer with Kaiser; they will call me back some time in the next 5 days to tell me who my new doctor is and (I hope) give me an appointment. Really should have started this process earlier, I guess.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

And Gud's FB friend - dude, has it never occurred to him that he is completely unaware of the vast majority of actual situations? It's a pretty private thing.

Ahem.
What I was trying to say, and perhaps it did not come across as I intended, was that I know there are sane and rational individuals who work for DHS and surely that will keep any inter-institutional conflict from going completely off the rails.

Okay, I'm going to eat lunch and then donate some money to some orgs who do work on immigration and support refugees. And then maybe I'll try to do more work?

Now I'm seeing all kinds of stuff about an anti-LGBT Executive Order coming this week. What will be going on behind the scenes while we are out protesting? Stop the planet, I want to get off.

My company CEO--the CEO of the whole corporation, of which my own company is one part--just released a statement saying that anyone affected by the immigration order will have the corporation advocating directly with the STate Department on their behalf and that the company will provide comfort and security wherever they're stranded. #NotAllHumans

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I don't even like her, but I was glad to hear that my Sudanese colleague is in town right now. (I could legitimately thank her for my new job, since they asked me about 100 different questions about working with difficult people, and I mostly used her for my examples.)

Hah--that would be quite a thank you, Jesse!!
I, too, am wanting to stop the world. Serious wtf. I should. It let the president ruin my health but I want to drink heavily and eat bad foods.
Also my new work project is INSANE. Meeting minutes should not be 25 page documents. And agendas should not take three people to review and several hours to prepare. At least, not for a meeting that happens WEEKLY.
