Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Given that I've been working during evenings, weekends, and while sick, I kinda want to take tomorrow as a proper vacation day where I don't actually do any work. I should just go ahead and do that, right?

YES.

Someone on my team just said she's off until Wednesday, but will actually be home Tuesday so probably on email. I told her she could either be on email or take a vacation day, but not both!!!

Yes you should!!

Meanwhile they made us change the system we were using for access to work email on our phones. Supposedly better, because now you can easily access excel and word and such. Except it made the calendar not sync with my calendar app. Which means I can't see my work calendar and gmail personal calendar in the same place. And also you have to open email and then click over to the calendar, which is annoying.

I don't want my personal stuff on my work calendar. Grrrr. This is a freaking downgrade, not an upgrade. I use calendar on my phone more than I use work email!!

I'm gonna do it, unless my manager comes back and asks me to be available.

Between my sinuses and the arthritis in my wrist and shoulder, I want to crawl under my blankets and sleep for a couple of days. I think it's time for the BenGay, screw the menthol smell.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'm not sure if this would be of interest to anyone here, but seemingly Jupiter Ascending (the movie) is being made into a ballet. (is this where I can say "that'll give you bees"?)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I saw that too! Apparently it's already a ballet that's being performed RIGHT NOW in Seattle: [link]

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

That sounds amazing! I haven't seen the movie, but it sounds like that would not matter.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S decided he wanted to brush and comb my hair.(with his brush and comb) I guess it's because he couldn't find his pony.(He got a My Little Pony from one of his teachers a while back.)
