Ugh. Having a v hard time concentrating at work, but there’s several urgent things that need lots of focus and that nobody else is around to help with (unfortunately most of my same-level coworkers are on vacation this week and I was the backup!!). I know people will be annoyed down the road if delays of a few days mean we miss a deadline and are a month or more delayed for other things….and I don’t want to deal with that annoyance later (or the $$$ it will involve) but I also really can’t do a deep dive review of specific track changes back and forth comments on intricate stuff right now. Ugh.

Fuck Pat Robertson. I’ll drink to his death tonight. One name off my Arya list.

Air is still gross here.

My friend is back in the hospital.

Sorry about your friend, msbelle. I hope the hospital is helpful.

I'm sorry about the work crap on top of family concerns, meara.

I love the thought of Pat Robertson joining Ronald Regan in hell. I'm sure Dante wrote something appropriate.

meara, I'm so sorry about your mom. Damn. It's all happening so quickly. You're flying out there tomorrow, right?

I couldn't concentrate on a damn thing at work while my mom was dying, or even for a while afterwards. I could usually manage a few specific concrete tasks, but any higher-level thinking was totally beyond me.

Pat Robertson is dead

To quote my brother "I would like to thank Pat Robertson for finally doing something to celebrate Pride Month this year."

For folks who aren't on FB, I am apparently celebrating the one year anniversary of having Covid by...having Covid again. Maybe next year I'll just go to the beach or something because this FUCKING SUCKS.

I love the thought of Pat Robertson joining Ronald Regan in hell. I'm sure Dante wrote something appropriate.

If I recall my Inferno correctly, corrupt churchmen are supposed to end up in the Eighth Circle, Third Bolgia, writhing upside down in pits with flames licking their feet.

Hope they find some Nomex socks to bury you in, Pat!

Yeah im flying out first thing tomorrow, and have the work excuse of being on a plane all day so can’t possibly. But while everyone has been very nice oh family is most important focus on that don’t worry next week” I know that a month from now it’ll be “well we expected that to be submitted in June but your company missed the deadline….” And it’ll be a huge pain. Ugh.

Meeting went well, if maybe not how I imagined.(Hard not to build stuff up after planning for weeks, but I'm pleased, overall.) Probably wrong to feel lighter in a Robertson-less world, but I still do. Meara, sucks that you have so much on your plate on top of bad news about your mom. I'm sorry,

My parents came to visit and brought me fucking COVID. I have managed to make it through the entire goddamn pandemic, and now, entering third trimester, I get an aggressively positive rapid because they didn't fucking test before they got on a plane.

I'm...a little mad. And more than a little scared.

Oh no, Debet! I hope you can weather it okay
