Because books.

Oh, Dana, I'm so sorry. Fingers crossed for positive job movement for both of you!

Hey Matt, good time to be a Bruins fan!

Yes it is! And the Blues are my #3 team, so really I'll be happy for either of them to win.

My afternoon meeting was canceled! I can just chill out in my cube and write code until the three day weekend starts. This is a good development.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

We're being released early. Yay!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We are explicitly NOT being released early.

But I just finished all my annual reviews! Now I should actually do the one for Colleague Who Thinks I'm Incompetent. I had a good conversation with my boss about how to say what I think, but of course that was at least a week ago, so I don't really remember the details. Oh well!

Also this week, I heard a junior colleague who I don't even know who it is thinks highly of me, which was surprisingly thrilling to me.

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

We are being released early, which I had completely forgotten might happen. And I came in early, so I'll be leaving at 1pm, yay!
