Sara (16) has two modus operandum (di? whichever). She's either up at like 6:30 and doing all her stuff, and taking a hugely long afternoon nap, or she sleeps till 11 am or so and then does schoolwork and sort of lounges till dinner.
I will say, though, that with any teen, sleep is a real need. Their bodies are doing so much inside, and lots of sleep isn't always an indication something is wrong. That said, Matilda's been under an enormous amount of stress and personal emotional upheaval, so I would cut her some slack, for now.
I was reading about a Quaker meeting that was having online/Zoom meetings and one person asked another if they were meditating or if their computer froze up.I was reading about a Quaker meeting that was having online/Zoom meetings and one person asked another if they were meditating or if their computer froze up.
Bwah! My mother's school, West Chester Friends, is doing all kinds of Zoom stuff with students, including morning meeting with singing, and afternoon reflection, which ... I'm not sure what that is. But it's been going pretty well for them, even with the littles (my mom is an asst. teacher in pre-K).
Quaker meetings ... you sit there until someone feels the spirit move them to speak ... and there are days when the spirit isn't moving ANYONE.
I bailed on going into the office today. Am still managing to get more of the GD telework things done. Tomorrow I will have to go in again and then Thursday I have an all day online training.
They should take a page from the Pentecostal book. If a poisonous snake is thrown down on the floor, the spirit moves a lot of people REAL FAST!
We just got told we have to take a week of furlough sometime in May/June. We can take it unpaid or use vacation time, which is whatever, fine, I am trying to look at it as being allowed to take vacation time because I was feeling like I wouldn't be able to ask for time off at all. My boss put up a spreadsheet for everyone to put their time into minutes before I had a call with a customer, so by the time I even got to look at it there was no way for me to take 5 days off in a row. There are 8 days for me to choose my 5 days in. One Monday, 4 Tuesdays, 1 Wednesday, and 2 Thursdays. That is some bullshit.
Wow, that really is some bullshit!

Heh.
That is definitely bullshit.
I am waiting for a doctor to show up at this telehealth visit, and she is running late, just like physical appointments. Yay better living through technology?
Straight up bullshit, -t. Can you tell someone in power why you were late to the signups and see if they'll help you out? Hope so, that seriously sucks.
hey! guess who has done none, absolutely none of college work for the whole semester?
You guessed it.
Not sure if he ever attended a class at all, but dropped or was dropped from his business class and is getting an AMAZING 0.00% in his music class (the one for the certificate he supposedly wants to get).
This means Any money I have gotten from the college savings account to pay his expenses is in violation of the tax law. He has to be taking at least 2 classes to be legally using those funds.
my son. the asshole.
