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

That must be a comfort, Tom.

I am seriously considering taking a full week off for the high holidays this year and again for Hanukkah because the timing is pretty convenient for both and I appear to have a ton of PTO to be accrued by then. I should have around 6 months of sick time but I can't figure out how to leverage that to my benefit.

No snow or rain but it is pretty darn cold, at least by local standards. I haven't looked at the temperature but my toes feel pretty icy and the cat is sticking close to my warmth.

Oh, my company gave us EOY/Xmas gifts which were a fleece blanket and a reusable water bottle with the company name/logo on them. For some reason this is hilarious to me. Such curl-up-on-the-couch items to get from work. But I'm certainly using them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our brand-new mayor is also keeping the schools open, and he also stated that we can beat COVID-19 because we have SWAGGER.

That should work, sure.

If you look on the Swagger website, there's no mention of anything that will help with JIRA issue COVID-19.

Undocumented feature?

Maybe, the documentation isn't great.

It's been a rough day. Newton had a big lump that may be another tumor. One of my work colleagues got hit by a car over the break and is in the ICU in a coma. Trying to focus enough to plan for a couple of days of remote teaching is proving challenging.

Hey, documentation would be up-to-date if covid would just stick to its deadlines and stop adding features.

Oh, Pix. I'm sorry. Hang in there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Pix, that is a lot for one day.

My kids were remote today due to staffing shortages, and the high school is remote again tomorrow. (5th grade is in person as of now but I'm fully expecting another email in a few hours saying jk/lol we have no staff here either.)

Tomorrow is Aeryn's 11th birthday so maybe I'll just give her permission to play hooky. Omicron would be a really shitty birthday present.

Skipping school is a way better birthday present than omicron.
