Oh, that all sucks, -t! I hope it is less bad than it sounds like it could be.
Also sucks for Laura+DH and lisah and meara!
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

I have a petty complaint: my title. Not my job or my salary, just my title. I was just in a meeting with two people with equal-ish experience and better titles saying they just do what I tell them!
That is not a good enough argument to get a title bump, but I've got to put a case together this winter.

Thanks for the birthday happies. Had a quiet brunch with a couple friends. We had an awning and it was raining so that was nice and cozy.

That sounds good, Trudy. Glad to hear it.
Title bump seems like it ought to be an easy ask. Good for you for figuring out you want it!
I am home, cat is fed (poor thing had to go over 24 hours with no new food, her complaints were slightly more desperate than when it has been minutes since her dish was empty), and I'm working. Did nothing this morning but talk on the phone, really, but I am exhausted. Also, forgot Dad's car is a stick shift until I got into it to back it out of the garage, but that skill set came back to me pretty fast. I do feel like I should try to drive as little as possible until I can give it back, and try to make that as soon as possible, though.
Ugh, lisah, I hate it when job tools are not accessible! Also that the job search process sucks, it certainly does. Much ugh.
So sorry about the headache, meara.

Our wings are not tired.

In my itty bitty company it used to be a rule that people chose their own title when we ordered business cards. People always gave reasonable appropriate titles so it worked out.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
That's awful -t. Hope that you get the best possible outcome.

That's fun.

Jesse definitely the perception of your title across the organization is a part of it though! So if others have better titles that IS part of it! Good luck.
I really am craving some crunchy salty thing (Fritos? Or some kind of chip) but have none in the house. And going to buy them seems like a bad plan. So instead I sit on my couch. Let’s see if I outwit my cravings through laziness!

Do you have popcorn? Because that'll usually work for salty cravings.

Laziness can do a lot!
