Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The Dean of my school just sent out an email with the subject-Facemasks-their back!

Makes me feel better about my typos in emails sent to the whole school.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Marti the Medical Student had a theory that love could be measured in how much sleep you're willing to sacrifice for somebody.

Airport rides at any time are a big deal!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Sophia - The place I worked years ago (an association) had a woman who had decided, um, IDEAS about how things should be done. She wanted to write a book and have it published, so she set herself up as the arbiter of how things should be written. One year, she got a look at the association's dues invoices and went on a campaign. The original language contained the phrase, "your dues are" ... which she insisted was wrong. She hassled and nagged until the notices went out with the phrase, "your dues is" ... which got immediate responses from members about incorrect language. For at least a year, possibly longer. sigh ....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I work in the same building as the NLRB where this just happened !

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Tom, wow! That was worthy of a "breaking news" email from the Seattle Times as well.

Wow, that's some big exciting news!

So, work did promote one of my teammates to be our supervisor, her first day in that role is today, and the first thing they are having her do is "socializing with us" (I hate this term) the idea that we are going to move to a different part of the office. Which is really just whatever, none of us much care where we sit, but we just changed desks while we are not in the office and now we are moving again after being in the office for two months and it all just seems very stupid and inefficient and I feel more and more like the end goal is to completely dissolve our team and I will end up with only the parts of the job I least enjoy or some completely different job that doesn't use my skills or unemployed.

I've been totally lurky lately and now here I am all mememe again. Sorry. I just had to vent somewhere. This is all very frustrating.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I work in the same building as the NLRB where this just happened !

Bet there's some happy noise in your building. Yay!

I'm sorry ltc is sick, but I'm glad she likes school enough to regret missing it.

We're starting back up at the office on Monday, but just one day per week. Before it was only one day per week working from home, so it's definitely an improvement over what could have been.
