I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
For those of you still playing along at home re: work place drama. It’s been a month since we aired department grievances and 3 weeks since Department was told boss was on Admin leave. No resolution, no meeting called with us.

That seems like a long time. Is there a temporary boss?

Much health and work~ma, all.
I'm tired - I think I managed to work for 6 hours today and that was a lot (sat in front of the screen far longer than 6 hours, of course Difficult to concentrate but some work needed to be done). I'm hanging in there (you know how we say we're OK? We're not. But we're hanging in there).
Heads up: Israel showed today to 200 foreign reporters raw documentation from a body camera of one of the first responders to one of the Kibbutzs, CCTVs, and Hamas' GoPro cameras. Block and mute whatever you need to make sure to not cross path with the visuals. The footage was not to be released out of respect to the dead and their families, but it was showed to a room with 200 reporters, so I suspect some visuals will be out at some point. I'd advise, as usual, not to read about it as well. It really is too much. I try not to think about this taking place 3 hours from where I live.
It'll take some time for us to be OK. We will be. But the war's gotta end and the government's gotta go first. And then we can mourn properly and repair. Maybe even heal some wounds. Until then, hanging on.

Shir and Nilly, I am so grateful that you take the time to check in here and update us. I hope that you can feel all the love headed your way. Adapting to the current situation seems impossible, but also required. Every time I poke my head into the news it seems like there is no resolution on the horizon.
Disappeared for a few days to do a family excursion involving tromping around Saken in the rain and seeing the NE aquarium. The short version is that a good time was had by all and we spent WAY too much money.
Back in Otter Lake dealing with Monday. DH is back in Florida, but is flying back up again for the weekend to finish work more on his list. I hope to drive back the following week after I get my ducks in a row.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Glad to see your pixels, Nilly and Shir.
Gary and Mr. S are out making a Target run, since the boy has no clean pants. (How he goes through clothes so quickly I don’t know)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Until then, hanging on.
It's a lot. And there's so much to do before you can get to the repair.
Sent a picture of my ravaged visage to my doctor's office and they immediately prescribed Prednisone. Unfortunately I can't take it until morning.
Right now I'm in the Madeline Kahn phase of flames on the side of my face. So burning/itchy unpleasant!
Putting an icepack on only relieves it for the exact time the ice pack is on.
Waiting for Matilda to get home so we can have dinner and watch more Over the Garden Wall.

Chesebro and Powell have both pled guilty in exchange for testimony. Heh.
And the best part is that since Chesebro is the attorney, his admitting that he knew that his actions were unlawful prevents the Orange Menace from claiming attorney-client privilege, since the privilege doesn't apply if the communications were in furtherance of a crime.
He's also turning over a lot of evidence, so that she gets to continue to build her case without revealing a damned thing.

Oooh, key detail! However, Trump still is the Republican front runner for President and nothing is stopping him from doing so despite the whole "No treasonous fuckers get to hold office" part of the Constitution.

I'm kind of depending on Georgia to save the entire Democracy now. Can they bar him from the ballot down there if he's convicted?

Yikes David, I hope you were able to get some rest despite the face of fire. May the prednisone do its thing very quickly this morning.
