Oy, Dana.
Hi, Karl!

I've tried to march in the Slayer Pride Parade ...

As with masks, getting tested now and then means you're not just looking out for you. It's the hidden cases walking around and coming into contact with other people that's spreading it, so if we keep testing as widespread as possible it's going to keep that second wave pushed further off.

A thing I learned this year: I hate writing policy papers. The research's fine (and sometimes a challenge - in a good way, I love data challenges), it's the specific way of putting the data on paper that is killing my soul.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
After all my big talk yesterday about walking, I didn't get up in time to walk before my 9am meeting! But I think I can run out after this one...

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I had to join my 9 am meeting at 9:07 when I woke up :(. On the other hand, I don't really want to go back to the office five days a week. My commute is 1 1/2 hours each way. I like sitting on my porch. I can totally do most of this from home even though I miss people. I want to ask to come in two days and work from home three.

Jesse can talk the talk, but can she walk the walk? Stay tuned to find out!
I have to share my embarrassment. For the last week or so i have been occasionally thinking "today would be a good day for that purple gauze dress that I saw last time I sorted laundry, it should be near the top of the basket", followed by unsuccessful poking around. Yesterday I washed some other clothes and found i had left a bunch of clean clothes in the dryer, including said dress. So I am wearing it today. But that's a long time to leave clean clothes in the dryer and totally forget about them!
In my defense, I don't get dressed every day anymore. Not by a long shot.

-t, I'm there (in other things) 2-3 times a week. Keeping track of where my stuff is basically a list of probable possibilities.
ION, I nearly chocked when a classmate asked today if a final assignment will be graded according to the use of terminology that we've learned during the class (meaning, do they really need to use the terminology that was taught in class?). I'm in an honors program. I didn't think there will be questions like that in an honors program.

People are amazing. Not always in a good way.
And Shir, I meant to say I'm sorry policy papers are soul-killing. They sound important, though? If we want good policies in place, I mean? I have no idea, obviously.

Sophia I think my ideal would be to go to an office twice a week....but not if I had a 90 minute commute each way!!
I am tuned I , -t! Ready to find out if Jesse can walk the walk!

-t, They teach me how to speak the language of decision makers in government. How to present a case in a "convincing" way. Now, I'm truly grateful to learn how much I dislike writing these things - no think tanks for me, thank you (maybe as a librarian, not as a researcher). But I'm not grateful to learn how to argue for equality and care in neolibral. It's despairing.
