See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

ION, sorry for being so silent lately. Work has been super stressful and stupid over the last couple of weeks, in very complicated yet terribly dull ways with which Sophia can totally empathize but which I don't really want to inflict on anyone (poor Hec has already had more than his share, and is nearly dead of both rage-on-my-behalf and boredom), and it's going to continue for at least the next two weeks.

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

Sorry, JZ. That is a bummer. I know I hate it when everything sucks but not even in an interesting way that makes a good story.

It's been one week since our system went down and I am dying to make Barenaked Ladies references all over the place. So far I have restrained myself.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Tom, switching therapists is ultimately going to be a good thing, but yeah, in the short term it's going to be a shitload of emotional heavy lifting. Is there anything we can do to make it easier?

And that just took me to a What We Do in the Shadows place.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That's brutal, Tom.

You are so much stronger than when we first met. You'll get through this well.

Thanks for that, Tep, would you believe I didn't make that connection on my own? Much better now.

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

Timelies all!

Well, I have a rental car now, and the repair shop is talking to my insurance company, so things are progressing.

Sheryl, I meant to say, that was a lot of day! I sure hope today was easier

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Work is being a shitshow wrt communication and coordination with the vaccine mandate and testing. I saw a draft of policy today and it mentioned things that we have not been doing (and we've been doing vaccine registrations for two weeks), things that the registration tech does not do (no one on the tech side is part of the policy discussions, I guess), and used incorrect language wrt FDA AUTHORIZED vaccines which was an issue previously and had been brought up then.

On the tech side, they pulled the employee list on 9/29 AND HAVE NOT PULLED NEW HIRES SINCE to get them into the vaccination registration system for validation.
