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

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.

Today is the kind of day where you discover that the nurse practitioner who seemed to be the only one at urgent care that could competently treat your migraine has moved. TO SKAGWAY ALASKA.

Oh, I'm sorry, Dana

Two more conferences, then a goodbye meeting for our department head, then a meeting to discuss my classes next year as we plan for weird schedules, then freedom.

I am getting the construction company the deposit to do my gate and garage door work.

I bought the airline tickets to go get Miley, the dog, from Texas (going and coming back same day - not leaving the airport) on Monday 6/22. Fares were cheaper and I figure fewer people going on a Monday.

Timelies all!

Another early awakening from Nova and Mr. S.(although he at least waiting until our alarm went off) Went to work.

I have a daily meeting at 1:30 and we're at the point where I have to refrain from quitting my job mid-meeting every single day, and then I just do nothing but spiral into awfulness all afternoon. Suggestions? (My boss literally suggested I turn the volume down and read a magazine, but somehow I can't bring myself to.)

Ugh, that sounds awful, flea! Can you come up with some not very thinky work you could do while you half-listen? I find that helpful sometimes.

Today is the first day of summer session at the community college, and it finally dawned on me that I will probably never meet a single one of my current set of students face-to-face. At least in the spring, I had met all of my uni students, or at least seen them occasionally even if they only interacted with me by showing up for class and turning in homework. There's usually even more interaction with my CC students because it's both a much smaller group and because there's a lab every night. You walk around and talk during down time. I usually have their names matched to faces by the second session. I'm gonna miss that.

OTOH, it's the first day of summer session, and I rode down to the sea wall on a gorgeous day and then napped for two hours afterwards. I never used to be able to do that on class days. You win some, you lose some.
