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.

That sounds like a cozy way to spend a snow day.

This week has really seemed at least one day too long.

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

Our wings are not tired.
On the good side, DH's high school is offering free covid testing up to twice a week for the students and staff. This is a big help for his team issues. Of course parental permission, which is easy enough for the players. On the bad side, seriously Florida, 1 million tests left to expired. Heaven forbid DeSantis lets people get tested then his numbers would go even higher,

Timelies all!
We got snow last night. Mr. S's school went virtual. I went to work as usual. No rest for the weary...

Today was our self eval deadline too. Ugh. But next week I have to do like seven actual reviews, which I’m looking forward to even less.
I did hear from my boss today (who also hadn’t finished doing his review) that he expects our bonus pool to be healthy this really. So that’s nice. It’ll be three months and a lot of arcane mathiness before any of that is real anyway.

We always get the email about how great the company is doing in the Q4 earning call, and then they turn around and talk about how the bonuses might not be funded at target. @@

Yeah, i think my company is spending all its mad money on hiring bonuses rather than retention….but fingers crossed. They usually tell us in March.
