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 am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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.

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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Kat is LAUSD, I believe.

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

Our wings are not tired.
The uncertainty with the current level of chaos at the White House must be very frustrating. So many people suffering real harm, and so few that give a damn in DC.
msbelle, you have email to distract you.

Am already tired of my relationship with McSally's voicemail. I probably should have put this link in Movies, but there's Spider-chat in there, so... my blog post about representation is here.http://bohemiancrip.blogspot.com/2019/01/lets-pretend-these-are-my-final.html
