'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Laura, I am sorry for your loss.
There's a big women protest and strike today in Israel. I moved apartments two days ago and I'm drowning in boxes and errands and technicians and there's a conference in Thursday that I am part of its staff so I cannot participate as much as I'd like (and I'm at work too atm). I had to decline an invitation to speak in one of the protests, but my thoughts and heart are with everyone in the streets today. Oof.
Moving is time consuming enough without having the conference too. I understand how you feel about missing the protest though.
I bought some lemongrass essential oil and a little diffuser to put next to my work area because mosquitos keep getting into the house for various reasons. They think I am an airborne disease testing station and I was getting bit a dozen times a day for the past couple weeks. We'll see if it helps, but at least it smells nice.
eta: I'm also an idiot and they are only getting like 3" of snow the night I arrive in NY. Duh.
I read a bit about the strike in the news, Shir. I hope it's productive and that your moving-related hassle calms down soon.
I just got invited to a bookmaking workshop at a work friend's place. That's a bit of work-related socializing that I'm actually looking forward to.

Government needs to approve a budget that was recommended by a committee that was nominated by the same government a while ago. That's it. Sadly, chances are slim, however the coalition and municipalities are still using this strike as photo op to show how much they care. The PM was quoted on 25/11, re that committee that he nominated back then, saying that he "didn't know things are so dire" and that "something needs to be done". I know, right?
Anyhow, there is a call for people who couldn't participate in the strike today to donate their daily salary to one of the causes and charities. I think I'll do that.
Struggling to stay on task today. Also my office has only warmed up to about 63 degrees. The building leaks so much air and the heater can only keep up so much, each morning it is about 55 degrees when people arrive.
I have too much free time today and not enough interest in my actual job, so I've already set up the sign-up sheet for our team potluck, which will be two weeks from yesterday.
I feel like work potlucks are fraught and ripe for bad times, but I really think my whole team was into the idea! It came up because like half of us hosted Thanksgiving this year, so we were all talking about cooking, and I think everyone does cook. There's still a sign-up slot for drinks, though.
I found a 21 unit apartment complex for sale in cinci for less than 800K. For 50K per unit we could have a compound. Pretty good green space and garages. Also a laundry room.

Terrible football team, though.
msbelle, what neighborhood, does it say?
Nice! That is a good deal.
Looks to be edge of Montfort park east. West of fox preserve and north of mt airy forest.
