The good news is that my aunt, whose lungs collapsed during prep for surgery last week, is breathing on her own now.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is good news, Dana!
This is embarrassing, but I'm finally getting my smart tv hooked up to the internet. I've had it for a long time! But I could never get it to recognize the wifi. Well, I have new wifi now, so thought I'd try it again, and it worked! Maybe I'll get Netflix now.

Punishingly Intricate
Shit, there goes my unlimited PTO.
That sucks!! We've had some kinda sucky changes to benefits as we've grown and become more a part of our parent company but still have the unlimited PTO.

Question: I'm assuming you don't get vacation days paid out when you leave if there's unlimited PTO, right? Will that change with a limit? I guess I've never been a person who uses all my time off, which maybe is a bigger issue!

In other news, I just saw there's a set list for the Elizabeth Warren gig, and I only know half the songs. I guess I'm still going though. Especially since I'm pretty sure I talked a fellow mediocre trombonist into going!

Ferdinand. He makes me cry!
Jesse- did you see the all trombone Bohemian Rhapsody?
I talked to my old boss and our administrator today, and they are supportive of me applying for this new role. As is the hiring manager.
Online application systems suck, though! I am so old and have been at the university for so long I never had to use one. I could not figure out the right code to say I went to a four year college and ended up searching the codes by one letter at a time, because somehow searching the words bachelors, college or university had no results!

Of course! It's amazing.

Go Sophia!
Glad to hear your aunt is breathing, Dana!
Mediocre trombones getting out there for the good gigs!
My brother and his girlfriend are down for a visit, so I'll be hanging with the fam tomorrow, I expect. We may totally avoid returns news, I'm not sure.

Right, with unlimited PTO, there's nothing paid out. I don't remember how much we're allowed to carry over from year to year, but I don't think it will matter much, since I made pretty damn sure to use all my vacation when I had it.
