I have a friend Arthur whose husband calls him Arch sometimes, which I had never really thought about!
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Y'all my brand new boss (as in I'd spoken to her all if twice—I was just transferred to her two weeks ago) fought for me and they approved me to take a long leave of absence (unpaid) rather than quit!! : o

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
meara, wow!

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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yay, meara!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Nice, meara!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
They must really value you, meara. That's great.

Yay, meara!
IOworkNews, they decided I don't need monthly quality coaching meetings for the time being. My numbers have been at top of the range for ages, and the QA people keep saying "Oh, hi, it's our monthly chat opportunity, and keep up the good work." I guess the Powers decided not to waste the time anymore.
Also, I had the usual "Here's the state of you" meeting with my supervisor, who was pushing the "You could be solidly in the Exceeds Expectations category if you did X and Y." I baffled him by saying "But I don't want to be in the top 5%, I just want to come in and help our customers and do a good job."
I'm tired of supervisors treating "Meets Expectations" as some sort of fault.
