I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dangit. But can be pre-preemptively pardon him on his way out the door if the case is still ongoing?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I thought someone had to be convicted before you could pardon them, but I could be wrong.

Ugh. I managed to fuck things up today before even waking up.

Gud, unless you are stabbing people in your sleep, I'm going to say you didn't fuck anything up.

You are a good, kind, caring person. I wish people closer to you understood that.

The president can issue a pardon before conviction. See, Ford pardoning Nixon.

We will have students in classes on campus starting on Monday, and it is going to be a mess. I am trying to protect my staff as best as I am able, but it is really, really difficult when the Powers That Be care first about making it look like everything is a-okay and safe rather than actually making it safe. Signed, 78,000+ sq feet and only allowed 2 bottles of disinfectant from the U. (I bought some on my own dime for my staff, see also wipes which the U is not supplying at all, and hand sanitizer because the U's dispensers are sometimes empty with *no* students on campus).

I keep seeing stories of colleges/universities where they have in-person classes and have to send everyone home because of infections.

Gud, unless you are stabbing people in your sleep, I'm going to say you didn't fuck anything up.

Or maybe if you committed some mayhem while sleepwalking. But those are the only scenarios I can think of where you fucked up while sleeping.

In other news, I need to write my performance evaluation and I'm so tired and I just DON'T WANNA.

Wife of Gud is annoyed by the way he sleeps now? That's peak abusive behavior. When she gets angry because of the way he breathes She might actually try to murder him.

I wish you could kick her to the curb and tell us what happens as she tries to fend for herself.

Shrift has gotten all her stuff done over the past year. She has made sure other people got their stuff done, and helped organize many things so they didn't go careening into the abyss. She did not have a nervous breakdown, or cause any co-workers to have a nervous breakdown.
