Happy Birthday Sophia!

Happy Birthday smonster! Hopefully the day will improve considerably as it progresses.

Thank you!

Bacterial conjunctivitis, off to get eye drops. Party is a go; I am going to give people a heads up.

Happy Birthday smonster!!!

Happy birthday, smonster! And quick healing.

Happy birthday, Sophia!

Somebody please talk me into going to work? I’m taking tomorrow off and we are behind and it will be fine once I get there, I’m just feeling tired and my body feels heavy. If I stay here I will probably alternate napping and feeling sorry for myself and beating myself up.

Ye gods, task initiation and transitions are so stupid hard for me, even though I’ve restarted Adderall.

ETA I am going to eat lunch and then go. Putting on bouncy music… now.

Birthday happies smonster and Sophia!

As you might remember (I really want to use the phrase "as all the world knows" but this is not quite right for that), my department at work has been more or less continuously re-organizing for years now. Well, I got an official "offer letter" to sign yesterday for the job I have been doing since February and the title we agreed I should have in, I think, July and that I report to the boss I've had since May, so maybe we have some stability in the offing? All the other shuffling around did not have actual paperwork, just movement on the electronic org chart (and physical desk changes). I'm still halfway expecting that in a couple of months the whole company will decide to do some kind of strategy swerve and we will be tossed once more into flux, but it seems like there's a good chance that won't happen.

Incidentally, I'm told I am the only person in the department who went from being a Senior Something to being just plain Something Else with no modifier so now I am second guessing that decision a little bit, but my salary isn't changing so on the whole I don't think it matters and I can push for a promotion faster as I settle into the new role, so I do think it probably was the right move.

Bouncy Music Go wishes for you, smonster

Another important work update: I need to get more candy to put out. If I remember right I've only had to reup maybe 4 times in the last year (buying an large assorted bag at Costco, usually, or similar amounts from a drugstore or whatever) - I know the last time was what I think of as Ordinary Time when there weren't any themed assortments going, before that was Easter, before that was Valentine's Day and I think before that was only Halloween. And now there's Halloween candy available again, so that's not bad.

Work drama, higher ups want to meet with some of us regarding issue with boss.

- t , I was looking at Halloween candy yesterday’s, but decided it was too early to buy.

It is pretty early, but I never have actual trick or treaters, this would just be for desk at work and it doesn't seem to be a problem that it ages a while in a drawer. And I prefer having bats or pumpkins or whatever if I can
