Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

Today I have meetings at 10, 11, 11:15, 11:45, 12, 1, 2, and 3. That will be fun.

I think...it won't be, actually?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yay, the noon meeting is being rescheduled. Now it will actually be fine.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am so happy that I have only one standing meeting each week. I am actually shocked that my direct boss has not requested a weekly one on one, but she has not, so I am not going to mention it.

Yeah the house work can be done any day, so who cares when I do it.

In work breaks today:

- set up zelle and pay gate/garage door guy
- find empty plastic tub for winter stuff
- load of laundry

If I get that done and my work than I'll start on other things.

I'm attempting to show ltc the CNN/Sesame Street town hall on racism. It's very talky and a little over her head at this age.

That is still a lot of meetings, Jesse. I have one today that is just a presentation i passively receive and I kinda resent it.

Feel much better today, but I plan on getting tested tomorrow regardless since I have the appointment.

Herding cats for fun

My niece told me I really must watch Queer Eye because it is awesome. I was so surprised! I thought such a thing was not in the wheelhouse for someone with so much religion. I'm gonna catch an episode so I can ask her about it.

Punishingly Intricate

Speaking as both a manager and manager, I highly recommend a weekly or bi-weekly one on one with your manager. My meeting schedule tends to be like Jesse's. I don't have a ton of dual or triple booked today but I have them booked solidly from 1230 - 530 today. Better go make my lunch now!

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I spent this weekend playing Animal Crossing, watching Queer Eye, and cooking. I made asparagus bacon and goat cheese omelettes, baked rigatoni, a batch of Thai green curry chicken, brownies, and a big batch of breakfast burritos.

The brownies turned out much better than my previous attempt and I ate them warm with vanilla ice cream.

I should have peaches coming today, so peach cobbler is in my future.

...and I missed the presentation. Oh well.

I have a monthly one on one with my manager, which seems fine. I can drop in on her (or call her, these days) any time as needed; having the one scheduled meeting on the calendar regardless is a good thing, though, as we both get busy and forget to touch base otherwise

Brownies! With ice cream! I miss ice cream; the little grocery I've been doing most of my shopping at has a crappy freezer and the ice cream is mostly freezer-burned so I stopped getting any there.

Planning to go to TJs tonight on the way to dog class because the one in Lafayette is usually pretty quiet. I will bring an insulated bag and ice to keep things cool during class. So excited, my first TJs run in 3 months.
