I'm sure Nancy had good advice for you, Theodosia.
Yes, I think no shave November is still a thing.
Shir, be safe. I hope the "silliness" calms down quickly.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
For all the right-wing talk that I've heard that 'Trump is the best friend Israel ever had' the result seems to be that you guys are in more danger, not less.
With all due respect to your own lovely and stable world leader and US aid money, I think that at this point the problem of my country is more local than global. It might be useful, say, if we had a government. So that basic services that are depending on governmental funds could work properly again and people would get paid. And maybe with a stable government we would be able to start working on things such as security again, but step one, I think, is actually having a stable government. I still can't believe we had two elections in 2019, and now they're talking about a third run. Such a bankruptcy of democracy that we are.
Yay for dancing, meara!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, Shir.
Rodents always stuntin
Made me laugh!
No shave November maybe?
No, he's definitely still shaving. It's more Wolverine-style mutton chops, which is why I thought it was for Halloween!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Aurelia I really wish you meant 9pm to midnight.
If only.

I think that is terrible aurelia. And I have definitely had to do that shift many times. But we aren't working in trauma surgery or anything, and now that I know people working in trauma surgery, I think theatre hours are absurd and possibly avoidable.

Stability~ma, Shir.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
aurelia, I'm sorry you have to work such a long shift. Much caffeine~ma to you.
Still too cold outside, but ltc was much better about wearing a coat hat and gloves today. So, progress. She wants a scarf, but it has to be a pink unicorn scarf, which I can't seem to find.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, man, aurelia. Those are some long days. Sorry.
We had our company "town hall" thing yesterday and it was ok I guess? Big big boss said something about restructuring and swim lanes and career paths that is probably meant to sound promising but actually sounds kind of ominous.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Ooof, -t, I hope it's the former.
aurelia, that's ridiculous! It's a setup for burnout - I know you know this, but I could wish the people you work with would catch a clue.
Woke up this morning to Boaty honking away, opened the blinds, couldn't see the trees at the bottom of the hill for the fog. That would do it! It's reached "Stephen King novel" levels now, I can just see across the quad.

We normally try to stagger the calls such that my assistant does the early call, I roll in before noon, he leaves at dinner break and I stay thru the end of tech. It just breaks down when someone gets sick.
