Hang in there, Zoe.

Health~ma to Zoe.

Wow, that wind map is creepy!!

Jesse, yeah, the titles are fairly standard in my industry. There's a little bit of difference in a few of them, and sometimes some difference in what they actually do depending on what other job positions there are. But it's more likely to be "large company has 75 llama herders and 50 senior llama herders and 20 herd managers and 10 senior herd managers and 7 associate director of herding and one head of herding with 200 people under her" etc where a small company might just have two herd managers and 1 head of herding. And the tasks would be fairly similar, just fewer projects. And probably less pay. Right now I'm a "herd manager" and am looking at some "senior herd manager" positions at companies that are basically exactly like mine. And then I keep thinking about the whole "dudes apply for jobs when they have 40% of the qualifications" or whatever, and that's how I ended up looking at this company where my equivalent person has so little experience.

A lot of ~ma to Zoe and Laura.

Lots of Zoe ~ma.

I should bring a bowl with me. She has consumed 4 coffee cups of water and it is messy. She takes water pills so always thirsty.

Still waiting.

Best thoughts for you and Zoe, Laura!!

Yes! Definitely apply if you think you'd want the job!!

I would shove a snack through the intertubes at you, -t, but I'm afraid it wouldn't get there.

~ma for Zoe.

I started doing my taxes last night, and due to reasons that do not need explaining at this juncture, it looks like I'm going to owe a lot of money in taxes. If it were another year under a different president, I'd be less mad and more philosophical about it, but it is not that year.

I ordered crepes from DoorDash. Trying not to gnaw on anything alive or inorganic until it gets here.

I love your explanation so much, meara! At my company it seems like all the Directors became Vice Presidents in the last year or so and then all the Sr Managers became Directors and so on down the line to where my department doesn't have any Jr Llama Herders anymore. I'm not sure how I feel about it, there's very little actual change to who reports to whom or who does what or anything like that, but I guess we all make more money so that's good?

Mmmm crepes.

Nurse said all her vitals including BP are good. Waiting for doctor. Wondering if she maybe just has bellyache. She is a dog and will eat any gross thing she might find in the yard.
