Thanks for the b'day happies!
But probably an ADHD evaluation should happen first.
That's fair.
Btw, JZ is just finishing Mexican Gothic.
I stayed up way too late to finish it because I wouldn't have been able to sleep if I didn't finish it.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I didn’t sleep much when I was reading Mexican Gothic either. It is so hard to put down!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Whew!
I really needed to come tell y'all that I have made the executive decision to bcc most of my accounts with today's update on our complete stoppage and the board wasn't here! This place is way more important to my peace of mind than work. So glad it was a quick fix

Also, Mexican Gothic was super compelling and also made it hard to sleep because creepy and disturbing

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We're back! Thank goodness, I was worried I might have to do some actual work.

Oh no were we down? Glad I missed it.
I super do not want to work today—I drove down to Portland to visit/support a friend and didn’t get here until after 11pm and didn’t get to sleep until after midnight. And then my 8am meeting that I was counting on to put a fire under my butt ended up canceled!! But maybe I can nap later…

It is windy and blustery today, and the street of half flooded, so I think the beach is trying to make me less sad about leaving. (I'm not really that sad; had a great time.)
I'm also learning how to use Instagram today, so, apologies in advance if you follow me.

Always kind of nice for the weather to not be lovely when it's time to leave the beach. Less taunty.
I have an hour before my next meeting, woohoo! My meetings today are all talking about things other than than the current whatever-this-is outage/closure/mess which seems weird but I guess we do need to talk about this other stuff on the assumption that everything will eventually be fixed enough for business to resume...
Oh, other fun thing, someone said today that if we were scheduled to work the sale yesterday and we didn't show up we would be rescheduled to a later date, which is fine although they'd better check when I am available and not just put me down for whenever they have an opening, but as everyone who heard that said "if we didn't show up? We were told the sale wasn't happening by HR and to not even go to the office but work from home!" but apparently some people got emails from the person organizing the sale that she wanted people to show up for their scheduled sale and turn people away. But not me and not other people who were scheduled, so that's some good old fashioned corporate communication.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Down to 3400+ email for unregistered and /or unvaccinated employees (out of 9000+).
Emailed thyme all again today.
I am pretty sure that # is not capturing all the employees without work emails. No one is giving me an answer about those employees.
Also? I hate everything.
