Ugh, shrift, I feel you on that. I managed to edit the bullet points from my last year's self-eval into something I could give my boss yesterday. I so badly wanted to scrawl WHO CARES across the form in crayon, that would more accurately express where I am right now.

I was able to put toilet paper in my cart for my grocery delivery scheduled for Saturday! We'll see if I actually get it, but I hadn't even been able to do t hat much before.

Timelies all!

Ugh, I woke up at 4 am for no apparent reason, for the second day in a row.(Alarm is set for 6:30, even on the days I work from home)

I don't see how anyone can do much in the way of advance planning these days.

Seriously!!

We're about to get into goal season and I am not here for that. Ugh.

I am, however ... maybe angry? definitely irked ... by the people who are saying that they plan to re-open, but their staff is making more on unemployment with the added stipend than they make working. To me, this implies that they're not paying their people enough ... and I wonder whether this is the real situation or if they're just assuming.

Yeah, I think that's only going to be true for people close to federal minimum wage, which we all know is not a living wage!

I just found out my favorite work lunch place is open for pickup a few days a week right now, and I'm so excited to get my favorite salad! It's kind of pathetic how excited I am.

urg random early wake ups are no fun.

so in other news all about me... I am starting back working next week for the library. all on line and hopwfully tings that will improve the library. I'll be working with a group that is developing trainning for staff. Since I have been VERY PISSED OFF at how difficult it is for people to get promoted in our system ( and vocal to the very top of the ladder) I think this is a start in the right direction. So while the concept of working full time is not exciting - I'm ok with the direction. ( and there is no one cracking the whip over hours)

And for those searching for flour

[link] I ordered cornmeal from them through amazon -- they sent it with a coupon code to order directly - they do some glutten -free mixes . they are more expensive than aome places, but i like that they are using an old mill. packaging may be to big for some, but they say things will keep two years in the freezer.

I mean, to be fair, 600 dollars a week at 40 hours would be $15/hour and while that's been the fight in some places, there are plenty of people who make way less than that, even before you add in any normal unemployment numbers. Of course, you'd have to actually get through to the unemployment people to be getting any of that and I know plenty of folks who can't (and one friend who got told their application was rejected because they aren't a citizen. They have now uploaded their passport and birth certificate and asked for adjudication. But who knows when that'll happen)

-t, I'm so disappointed in you.

Surely it should have been WHO THE FUCK CARES.

Beth thanks - I have not been baking, but getting some good flour seems like a good idea.

WHO GIVES A FUCK was my actual thought but I am actively trying not to curse while on conference calls and it kind of spilled over

My department was working double time to keep things running, so we got to put our PEP stuff off for a month or two. Since we've also been told there won't be any raises (honest, I'll be happy to have a job in the current and likely future environment), no one is really feeling the need to push forward with that. I strongly suspect my manager will write, "didn't snap and go on a rampage with knives—gold star" on everyone's form and be done with it.

I shoulda put that under "goals"
