I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I so badly wanted to scrawl WHO CARES across the form in crayon, that would more accurately express where I am right now.

-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.

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

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

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

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.

It does not seem right that "peanuts" comes before "peas" alphabetically

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

We got an announcement from the CEO of the Medical Center that on May 8th their will be an announcement about furloughs. I wasn't even thinking it could be possible that I would be furloughed because I have so much work! Thanks CEO. What I am imagining for my school is that they might ask us to equally share a furlough which seems fair, except I HAVE SO MUCH WORK between now and July 1.

PS I am still working right now. I have zoom meeting most of the day, so most work has to happen after five.

Shouldn't it be:

PEA _____ plural peas PEANUT ____ plural peanuts

I am behind on my mask making, didn't sew at all this weekend. Gonna head down now and try to get three done and some cut out before 10.

I may need to order some of that flour, beth. I used to do stress baking back in the day, and now may be the time for me to take it up again.

And while I'm complaining about performance reviews, I am grateful that I have a job and can do it from home, and that my employer actually is being thoughtful and supportive.
