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!

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.

Oh, hey, I know that TJ's!

I was watching something streaming yesterday that had ads and all of them seemed to mention fudge. Is there a pro-fudge conspiracy out there? I guess I"m not exactly against that.

I keep getting Trump's new ad here (PA) and it makes me throw up in my mouth a little every time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All I want to eat is ice cream. So I got some yogurt (in addition to ice cream) to try to modulate that some...

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.

Yeah, my other friend's four-year-old gave it five minutes and then asked for regular Sesame Street....

Speaking as both a manager and manager, I highly recommend a weekly or bi-weekly one on one with your manager.

Agreed! I don't mind meetings all day, mostly, although Zooms all day is wearing. As long as I can have lunch, which I did -- including 10 minutes in the hammock! All is well.
