Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

AQI in Ossining has officially hit the Hazardous range. The last time I remember feeling this smoke-sick and woozy was when I was in Delhi in 1999.

Our wings are not tired

My anxiety is through the roof. The clients that owe be big payments still haven't paid. Both of them are school districts. Just pay the bills.

Always Anti-fascist!

Do you know somebody who could write you a lawyer letter or something, ND? Good for you, askye! Thanks for the good thoughts, everyone.

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

Ugh, ND. That is really an unfair burden on you.

OK, I realize this is the pettiest of things to complain about, but it's bugging me so much. This new application/tool/whatever we are using to manage demand forecasting alphabetizes capitalized letters before lowercase. So customer AZURE would be listed before Aaron. It's so confusing!

I do, but I've dealt with districts before and it won't help. This is literally just red tape and internal BS that is holding it up. They will eventually pay, schools are just the worst for acting like they can do it on whatever timeline works for them.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yeah, schools are the worst for that shit. I had my transfer paperwork sit on a desk for a month (quoth them "oops!") which led to me having to take unpaid time off when I had a ton of leave banked. The wheels of educational bureaucracy move slow as molasses.

Ugh ND that is frustrating as hell. (And Debet I would’ve been pulling my hair out)

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

You got this erika.

I’m sorry they’re making this so much harder than it needs to be askye.

Air quality here is worse than normal but nothing like NY. Stay as insulated as you can NY-and adjacent-ers.
