I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds fascinating, Tep

Harley Quinn shouldn't be anyone's role model except in the ways she should be. Which may or may not include egg sandwiches, I'll have to think about that.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Gud, that's promising news. I'll echo what billytea said about counter-offers. Ask a Manager has great tips for this particular circumstance.

Hil, I hope you're feeling better soon.

Breathing~ma for everyone on the West Coast.

Don't wanna write this RFP. I'm starting from a template, but I'm not sure if it would be easier to start from scratch since I'm making a ton of changes.

Blood sugar seems to be solidly in the 125-130 range no matter what time of day, on meds. May need to up my activity level.

I am happy to be a go-for-walk buddy (or you know someone even more reliable on that front than me).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Can I just say, I hate WFH for this reason: I have to put all this effort into going for walks and doing yoga and whatever, and I'm still walking SO MUCH LESS than I did when I was working in the office, even after I stopped going to most meetings on campus. It's very annoying.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This is me. I used to walk at least 2 miles a day just going about my normal routine.

I did go to the pool this morning for the first time in months, and it was actually really nice! I had a reserved lane all to myself.

Coding and Sleeping

I took the counter offer. After talking with the department head it seems like they really want me to be around especially as they move to newer technologies where I have experience that isn't in abundance there. Also, it was a big bump in salary. Anyhow, it feels good to have things come to a conclusion.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Maria, one thing I can say in regard to RFPs is to read the instructions or what they want - I know that one thing that immediately gets your proposal thrown out is if you don't get the details. (I've been working for associations for the design and construction industry for ... wow! 40+ years ... and that's the first thing they look at.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!
