I did some work, ate lunch, and now I'm AGAIN expected to do more work? This is setting up a terrible precedent.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's a really bad habit you're forming, Dana.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Instead of a victory lap, I get to go to a two-hour "new leader assimilation" meeting
That's hardly a reasonable substitute.

I took the Big Scary Bus all the way over to the Beth Israel and back without incident -- I swear I was more stressed on the "scouting trip" with a normal-sized car to work out the route (no too-short underpasses).
Tomorrow I do it with an Actual Passenger in the back.

Our wings are not tired.
I'll have my SIL send you some big~bus~ma. She drives city bus for NYC in Manhattan. She's totally chill about it.

So wrong.
My original intent was to head back to NY on the 4th, but my plate is still way too full. Not sure how I am going to manage this. I need a cloned me so bad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good job, Theo!
We were told that it is now new leader acclimation, not assimilation, but the meeting invite DEFINITELY said assimilation. Anyway, it was kind of fun -- a medium sized group of colleagues giving our opinions.

I guess if they aren't coming right out and saying that you will be assimilated it's ok

Apparently he's the one who is supposed to be assimilated!
