Timelies all!

Mr. S is resisting taking a nap(which he needs, badly) at the top of his lungs.

I have sides now. The one that will be hinged is clamped on for the time being.

Most of the arcade cabinet is storage space filled with office supplies.

It really sounds like you are making the right decision Sophia.

I hope Mr. S gives in soon.

Or rather, looking at the timestamps, gave in soon.

I saw my sister-in-law at the grocery store today, she's the customer service manager. One of her people was organizing a display nearby and horsing around a little, making her roll her eyes. As I left her to continue shopping, I said, "Have a good day, beat somebody up." I heard her walk to her worker and say "My sister-in-law says I get to beat somebody up. I choose you." He laughed, so I wasn't too worried. It tickles me to be claimed as family in a conversation that I have no part in.

Wow, Gud -- that's incredible!

And you're definitely doing the right thing, Sophia. The people who went to bat for you did it because they care about you (professionally, at least!) and want to see you in the right role.

Connie, that is cute!

I guess my fear is how stupid it looks to give up an easy job paying better money for something that is lower paying, but more interesting. I just don't know how long I can keep telling educators that they can't assess thing like discuss with a multiple choice test. And then convince them of it. I never thought that sales would be my jam, which recruitment sort of is, but matching people with the right way to further their growth- that is my jam and that is what potential new job is

Sophia maybe they just need to reclassify your old job to pay better? :)

I am so ready for these elections to be OVER. drove to complete lit drop for 2 precincts near my house. The guy I was driving was so irritated to be hitting houses he had already canvassed before. He was all "why didn't they early vote?!?!" And the phone-bankers for the same campaign were having people straight up lie about voting early, when the campaign has all the early voting data downloaded already. GEEZ!

I text-banked 2500 people today. Lots of argumentative people in Alabama. Lots of people thinking any text in Texas is from Beto.

There are three election night watch parties that I am aware of, but I do not think I can stomach being around a lot pf people if it is bad.

I might go play trombone at Elizabeth Warren's party.
