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.

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

Hating everything seems like a fair response to that

Our wings are not tired.

That does seem worthy of hate, as does -t's corporate ability to communicate.

I'm miserable with a UTI, again. Usually I can flood it out when I feel the first twinge, but it only got worse. Finally, I broke down and had my doctor call in a script. It is bad enough that I had to make DH go get it because I can't travel a mile to get it myself. Well,' it is more the getting in and out of the car a couple of times that is the issue. Ugh. I have an appointment at the end of November with a doctor to deal with the prolapse that is causing the problem. Bodies be stupid.

Ugh. Bodies are dumb, Laura. I’ve been going to PT for about six weeks for back pain and still feel like it’s doing nothing.

Msbelle that sounds like a Sisyphean task.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Msbelle, I really, really feel your pain. It is so similar to what happened to me except times thousands of people. And I was just so angry with everything and everyone. And I am sure the employees without work emails think will suddenly become an urgent issue that you will have to deal with.

I also hate UTIs.

I am busy at work trying to actually plan for some things that I know will be asked of me last minute in November and December. Hopefully this, and the fact that there is actually a plan for Covid vaccine collection for Spring that the University Registrar signed off on so I won’t be stuck in a 2 month feedback loop of “students need to provide a vaccine proof before they register to a system they don’t have access to until they register”.

But today we decorated pumpkins with coworkers I actually like! So that was fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What a shitshow, msbelle.

Good luck with that.

Ugh, bodies.

Jesse, you are right. I should prepare for that plan to go to shit as well, since in July I also had an approved plan that blew up in my face.

My happy today was the Indigo Girls. Someone on one of my true crime podcasts asked for Indigo Girls recommendations because she had never heard of them! And we were all like- um- all of it! So I blasted it from my office today.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Am at the con(flight was over an hour late, probably because of the weather) listening to the Pegasus Nominees concert.

I didn't mean that to be snarky! I hope it works!
