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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

Anyone want to be my productivity buddy for the next couple of hours on Messenger or text?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ugh, sorry, -t.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, -t. Very upsetting stuff.
BIL's Bahamian family is safe, although significant damages to property. They don't even know the full extent yet. They've been communicating via WhatsApp throughout the whole storm and now. Sending horrific pictures. Part of the issue is going to be the airports being trashed, and roads of course. Even getting help to people will be very difficult for some time.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm sorry, -t. Even if you don't get reduced, that's a rough situation to be in.
I'm glad your Bahamian relatives are ok, Laura.

Ok, this is ridiculous. I didn't have any phone service near the lake or at the visitors center but I do at my campsite? Minimal. But still! I feel less camp-y.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Got a call from the school at 10:30 that Mr. S was hitting, spitting and throwing things, and that I should come get him. Later, the principal called to say he was suspended. I'm trying to arrange a meeting with Gary and myself to discuss strategy, We also hoping to bring the teacher from Mr. S's PEP program in on it.
Today has not been good.
