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

Yeah.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yay, Daniel!

Yay, -t on not being laid off.

I did mean to say, so glad to hear DCJ gets to come home, Andi!

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

I'm glad Daniel will be home soon. And that -t didn't get laid off.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

A storm is looming outside, and it's hard to do anything except curl up with a blanket and listen to it rain.

That seems like it would have to be the best possible course of action.

Sorry to hear about the lay-offs, -t, and very glad you're not one of them.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Those Warnock emails. It’s like sharknado in my inbox, flying in from every direction.

I finally got approval to hire two new roles today. Six weeks after our final interviews. It’s a weird time out there for sure.

I have gotten good at not even really seeing all the political emails unless I make an effort. So many!

That's interesting, brenda. My boss said we "had no choice" but to lay people off because revenue is way down from expectation, and that part is true but we are already so lean from attrition and previous layoffs that claiming we are trimming the fat seems ridiculous. We are losing muscle mass and have been for a while, to strain the metaphor. If he tells us that this layoff supports our 3 Year Vision I may scream.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Very glad to hear that Daniel is coming home!

I am also getting the Warnock emails. For a while there I thought Val Demings was trying to be my BFF with all the text messages.
