Oh, your poor friend, Epic! I'm so sorry.
And sorry about the house stuff, sj
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I have to say, I haven't been impressed with this week, and I would like things to stop sucking for everyone.

This! More specific post in a bit since I'm teaching now, but I'm thinking of all of you.

I’m just over this week. I had plans to make food but somehow having the energy to grocery shop, make food, and eat food, is not possible. One per day, apparently. It’s been rainy and cold and gross here and I can’t see my friends which would usually make it better because omicron. Haaaaaate. Have done almost no work, would like it to be the weekend already.
I do not have to do my yearly eval, but instead have to fill out a document with “give an example of a time when you showed leadership/company values/will to win/whatever other stupid categories they want” and I’m supposed to remember specific times I did something great and write about it in a bunch of spots for like, the purpose of selling me to new projects? Gross.

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

So it turns out our evals this year are just writing out 3 accomplishments and 3 areas for improvement from 2021. Which is certainly shorter than what we used to do and what I expected but is still nothing I want to do. It will be fine, I'm sure, once I am at a point where I can stop doing my actual job and think about previous times I was doing my job.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
she's the human embodiment of Snow White
But, like, zombie princess Snow White.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have to say, I haven't been impressed with this week, and I would like things to stop sucking for everyone.
That pretty much sums it up! Yikes.
Along with the alcohol, I find self-assessments (and others' assessments, honestly) go better for me when I do it in dribs and drabs, and at least some off the clock. I definitely can't just sit down and do it straight through.
