Depressing: someone on NextDoor asking for recommendations for snow removal services.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired.
Nooooo! I did see some leaves turning here and there on my most recent drives. Sob.

My one coworker has already been apple picking!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I remember seeing one of the Lord of the Rings movies and there were three teenage girls sitting together. While the lights were still on, I noticed they all had little elf ears on. Renewed my faith in the younger generation.

Well, hell. We just had a "reduction in force" that apparently is going to be coupled with restructuring. This sucks.

Eek, t! Are you reduced??
Jesse, I was driving through Oregon to Crater Lake! Saw Mount Hood and a cool gorge and stuff. Am supposed to be here two days but it may thunderstorm tomorrow, so I might pack it in early. I've already been most of the way around the lake, and they stopped doing the boat tours for the year already, so one day may be fine anyway. We shall see how I like the campsite and how the weather is.

Oh no, -t! How is your job?
That sounds very cool, meara. Amazing pictures!

I am not reduced, but I don't feel very secure. The guy who sits on the other side of the cubicle wall from me is gone, which blows. For one thing, his first grandchild is due in the next few weeks. I hope he got a decent severance package. For another, the rest of us need to absorb his workload and that's stress I don't need.
Every time my company goes through these things they handle it differently and it always seems like they handle it very badly. This came completely out of the blue.

Woo, Crater Lake! I haven't been there in so long, I should go back.

Yikes! And good luck.
