I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, dear. I think I blocked that out but I kinda remember now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, Jesse, you know how we were talking about how short weeks were subjectively longer than 5-day weeks because of teh concentrated workload? I am not finding the converse to be true this week. Just so you know.
Booooo. My own week is actually feeling OK, but apparently the Casual Friday email was so long ago (possibly Monday or Tuesday) that I forgot about it by the time today came.
(But winter + airplane + formal event = THREE SHOE TYPES)
That's just objectively true, and sometimes you do need more shoes than days.
Your focus has plenty to deal with between a new job and having children. I'd focus on the things where you can have success and be appreciated. Clearly the wife is never going to be either satisfied or appreciated so put that at the bottom of the list.
What Laura said!
So, this new birthday celebration system where the department has a cake for everyone who had a birthday in that month so no one is left out apparently means that since I am the only one with a February birthday in the department I get no cake until March. The end of March. I do not find this satisfactory.
That is bullshit. Monthly cake should be monthly cake!!

Total bullshit! Unacceptable. You should get your own February cake on your day and not have to share.

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

TELL THEM THE BUFFISTAS WANT YOU TO HAVE YOUR CAKE IN FEBRUARY

Oh, no, I don't want them knowing about you! That would be terrible.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Tell them you asked the internet, and the internet supports you.

That should work. Everyone believes the internet.
Also, today is apparently Employee Appreciation Day? We got an email thanking us for all our hard work and are being entered in a raffle so some people will get some kind of bonus-y thing but no leaving early or free lunch or what have you for the rest of us. I was feeling more appreciated before the email, frankly.

Employee Appreciation Day should also involve cake. IJS.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
We had 10-minute chair massages, that's by far the most appreciated I've felt all week!
And I also think a monthly cake should be monthly, regardless of how many names get written on it!
