Congrats, Flea!!! Best of luck!!

Good news, shrift!

Ugh, Sheryl. Sorry about that.

Good luck, flea. As Suela said, life is too short.

Go sister is of Consuela!

Huzzah for the assembled chair!

I did get sone groceries I did not do any yard work. I am hoping that after mostly lazing around today I'll be able to get stuff done this weekend...meanwhile it's goldfish crackers and Diet Coke for dinner.

oh noes - more thunder tonight.

I'm going to put on some audio and see if we can just work through it without needing to relocated to the basement.

Good luck msbelle. Probably too late for today, but have you tried calming pheromones or thunder shirts? As I say that kind of remember that maybe you have, but perhaps I am thinking of someone else...

Here's a little inspiration: [link]

Very cool

Yay flea! You might also want to look into online instructional design. There is definately a need and it matches librarianship skills pretty well. In another life I would have been a librarian, but it would be futile and a huge paycut for me to go into it now. My class on instructional design was full of librarians

Sheryl, I am sorry about the equipment. I hate screwing up at work, but people screw up, especially when things are stressful right now. If you are lucky enough to be in a non-toxic environment, people forgive you.

I did a small gathering for my godson's graduation. It was literally just me, Maria and her two kids. I think we have basically decided to be a pod. We are both going almost nowhere (her school year is over, I am working from home, and we both do limited grocery runs, but mostly get delivery). If we do our grocery runs together, we are sort of in the same boat, and I am not taking Uber. And I can have Aidan come back and change my lightbulbs I can't reach. I will quarantine after the one day I have to go in to help run a lab, but we will be wearing full PPE (face shields, masks, gloves, gown). I think there was a limited time I could be alone.

I also got my Mac from work delivered to my home, so now my working from home experience will be so much better! I have a giant screen! It sounds like we are basically working at home for the foreseeable future unless we need to be in for student facing reasons, like the lab in late July. If we come back in we will basically all be in our separate offices zooming with each other, so it just seems silly! I still have my whole PC set up at work if I have to go in.

My instructional design team (composed of both faculty and staff) just got notified we won an $18,000 innovation award! Unfortunately, it does not mean we get bonuses, but we have this money to decide how to spend for the student's to get the best online expeience they can, But that was a great vote of confidence from our Dean

Congrats, Sophia!

And congrats, flea. I'm also working in instructional design these days, and it's enjoyable work.
