I can see where cutting back on the time you spend working might be a good idea, Sophia, but OTOH if you can work during your commute it seems silly not to (and clock in for it, of course). Maybe if working only 40 hours a week means you can’t get everything done you used to, higher ups should know that?

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

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

And they should realize you aren't paid enough!

I love Caroline Hax’s writing. It’s great to get acknowledgment from people whose work you respect!

Tree is up, and some ornaments hung. Coffee house jazzy Christmas music playing. Gray wintery day, so that matches.
Never got back to sending the card lists out, so I'll finish that up today.
Now it's lunchtime.
What are you all doing today? It's quiet in here...

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Tim bought a train to go under the Christmas tree, on the theory that it will freak Murderbiscuit out so much that he'll leave the tree alone (he is literally a scaredy-cat who's afraid of seemingly inanimate objects that move independently). It's a win-win for Tim, because he's super excited about having a train to go under the tree, and if it keeps Murderbiscuit away from the tree, so much the better. So this weekend's goal is to get the tree and the train set up.

We're getting our tree and setting it up!

I did some card sending and gift shopping today. It’s also gray and rainy here, so now that my running about is done, I feel good about lounging on the sofa, under the cat, near my Christmas tree. I’m reading A Restless Truth, and enjoying it.

Oh shit, A Marvellous Light is still in my TBR pile. I need to get on that.
