This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hate when my bad work is shared with the world. I mean, it wasn't awful, but I threw something together in a half-hour because someone needed it. The person who needed it thought it was fine. The Dean? Not so much. She has feedback! I know it's not my best work! Ugh. (I don't think she knows it was my work specifically, so I don't have to be embarrassed about that. But still.)

Was informed by my smart home system that the power returned about 15 minutes ago. Will return when the system says the house is reasonably warm again.

Good job, smart home system!

I have so much catch up work this morning and people keep scheduling meetings for me! I might need real caffeinated coffee.

Turns out my old boss's firm had most of their projects put on hold by the shutdown, so I probably can't get any part-time work from them.

Off to climb, and then meet an old friend in the city for lunch. The exciting life of a furloughed fed!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

This morning's meeting was 7:30 to 10:45. That is both Too Early and Too Long.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Are any Buffistas in Los Angeles on strike right now? I know there are several teachers, but do they all work for private schools?

Kat is LAUSD, I believe.

Consuela - I saw something about CA extending unemployment benefits to furloughed workers, maybe something to look into?

I could, but it wouldn't be worth the hassle, since once the shutdown is over I would have to pay the money back. I have money from my Dad I can use instead. I am taking advantage of this bullshit to wean myself from the easy-spending mode I had fallen into, though.
