Thanks for birthday wishes! It's the big 5-0. Which, for me, is both thought provoking and minute on the scale of things.
When my memories brought up pictures from the 4-0 I was all OMG that was 10 years ago. I hope you are doing something very special for the milestone.
You were there for my 40th and 45th!
Happy birthday, Nora! 50 is pretty exciting!
One side-effect I've noticed of Return To Office is that I'm finding it almost impossible to motivate myself to do any work on days when I'm home, other than attending meetings. I'm sure there are work things I could be doing right now in fact! But I'm not!
Same! It really only hit when we went from 2 days in the office to 3, but whereas I used to be pretty gung ho to demonstrate that I was if anything more productive when WFH these days I am much more apt to think that even the things that I kinda might want to work on can wait until I'm back at my desk. Procrastinating starting on updating a spreadsheet right now!
Happy milestone, Nora! 50 is certainly a very round number and feels significant. It's a single roman numeral, that's a big deal! I V X L C all big deals!
Happy birthday, Nora!!!
Happy birthday, Nora!!
I tell you what, the aftermath of a death is a whopping long list of Onerous Tasks.
Oh yeah. So many Onerous Tasks. So, so many.
In bittersweet (mostly bitter) "I told you so" news, my old job at Comixology (which was permanently eliminated back in January) is now a new open role because apparently TPTB have realized that their original plan of "lay everyone off and then we'll get everything done in less time" was, in fact, incredibly stupid. I'm only sorry nobody reached out internally to offer it to me, because I would have LOVED the opportunity to respond with "are you fucking high."
Seriously, wtf.
PS: I still have not had proper nachos but I did have chips with queso and guac for lunch.
I was about to ask if Matilda wanted her scary goth auntie to do some (mild) hexing. Because I will do that for her.
Excuse me while I cackle with glee and anticipation, quietly.
Nora! I can’t count so I didn’t realize it was 50. Wild. And I’m glad you enjoyed that call. Buffistas tend to be high on the call list.
Ass ‘em in the ear, Jess.
No nachos here but I’m getting a blood draw done for work and there is an excellent cheesesteak place next to where I parked my car. But I think I’m going to go eat a sandwich at home, instead. The funds have run out for my Emotional Disaster Area and I have to make more responsible choices now.
Happy 50th, Nora!
I just got back from buying a shit ton of the new fall stuff at Trader Joe's. From time to time, I think that we really need a chest freezer. This is one of those times.
Tim had his last home PT appointment on Wednesday, and his last home OT appointment is today. His 6-week follow-up appointment is next week, and then he can start outpatient PT at the PT facility. Look at him, just making progress all over the place!
I still have not had nachos.
Oh! I’m halfway through A Hat Full of Sky, and I’m very pleased that the Terry Pratchett definition of a witch is something I can definitely relate and aspire to. Amazing the life lessons he’s built into these books. Wish I’d read them earlier, but maybe now is just the moment to uncork that particular literary vintage.
