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

Now that I'm caught up, Betty's interior monologue is THE BEST!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Now that I'm caught up,

Right??? And it matched her facial expressions so perfectly! Or vice versa.

If my frustrated words today were tiny, tiny needles, everybody I worked with would have exsanguinated.

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

Timelies all!

Mr. S woke up at 4 and made a lot of noise. No wonder I'm so tired.

And now it's too late to swim because this meeting, which I had to be at & would've been a shitshow had I not, ran long & after I told them I will not do 4 pm meeting regularly...they kept pushing it.

Um, no. Especially not after I basically shanghaied the meeting & got us on a track so it can actually have a useful & goddamned badly needed agenda. You need me there, respect my time.

Ugh Sarameg that sucks. My work has me doing 730am and 8am meetings which is ok, but just suggested I add anpeoject where everyone else is based in Singapore. So like, 5 and 6pm meetings. I guess I'll have to find something to do in the middle of the day? I'm not at all thrilled with this plan.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I don't even think of myself as a fandom old, because I didn't usenet! But I am. It is funny to me how my students love how I have been into Buffy for so long, and I can talk so much more openly now/

If anyone is following along on my job drama, I decided to stay in my current position right now- because the open position was a demotion, but more importantly for me, the office is in absolute chaos with long term employees hanging on to things and the director of admission finally admitting that she can no longer work due to her terminal cancer diagnosis. Also, the lady who I would report to is so frustrated that I feel she might quit at any second and I don't want the job without her! I have also been given some recent assignments which are more intersting and relative to my skill set. I still don't understand why the Assistant director of Admissions is a demotion and paycut from Instructional Design Associate! I think that speaks to our values as a school, and I don't necessarily want to place myself in the lower value area. The hiring manager is still looking to create new positions, maybe one made for me after about a year of figure out this instructional design thing out.

My workplace is really accommodating of life schedules (commonly, childcare, classes, appointments) so yeah, they can do this.

(Extra cranky because I woke up with cramps and was party to a really poorly run software install for which there was no excuse but the guy is WOUND & tends to get ahead of himself & cuts corners. So Extra EXTRA.)
