Heh. She would like that description. I’ll have to tell her later. She had a much better day at school. Her teacher has handled it.
ION, we need a new oil tank.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Timelies all!
Self-evils are not a thing I've had to deal with, thankfully. Performance reviews are pretty painless. The head of the lab has basically been writing the same thing every year for the past few years. (Since that usually includes a recommendation for an award, I don't mind.)

I love self-evils, Sheryl.
In Covid shitshow news, we had to go to all online orientation MID-DAY today. Like we broke for lunch and sent people home. With all sorts of different messaging. Some from the President and Provost, some from the Dean and others from the Program Directors and everything is contradictory! And it is all being sent to the students too!

[side-eyes 2022] Not a great first week on the job buddy. Room for improvement.
I found out that after the Oxford, MI school shooting there were copycat attempts at the school where my sister teaches. (She lives 20 minutes from Oxford, and it’s still very much a thing on people’s minds up there.) None got past the front door. But one had apparently had my sister’s name on a list. And now she’s back working at that school and having to make learning plans for her would-be murderer in juvie. I’m on the side of “let the vile little bastard wallow in his willful ignorance,” but she’s definitely the superior sister and is doing it.

Oh Calli, way too close to home. Very unnerving,
Friday! Watched a bunch of the 1/6 coverage yesterday. Still in shock that this actually happened. Then I went and read my book because fiction is much better than reality.
Feeling significantly better today. Reminding myself to not try and do all the things since I can do something for a change.

We are on a delayed start today and my division in the department are all working from home and I still do not want to even log on.
I shoveled the sidewalks on my side of the block this morning. Neighbor on the other side already did their side. This was the first shoveling of the year for me as the neighborhood kids had handled the first snow. My block likes carrots y’all.

Today, for the first snowy day in seven years, I have a Super who shovels instead of me.
Its wonderful.

Supers are the BEST.
Ok I need to log on to work and get my personal computer set up so I can watch knitting podcasts all day.

Yay for Supers!
ltc is enjoying her snow day.
Our heat died again last night. So, we had our oil company in our house at 10:30. Luckily they were able to get it going again. New oil tank is being installed next Friday.
