Our wings are not tired.

Wait, what? I know the TV show will end after the next season, but I thought the series was still ongoing. (Outlander) Does this mean I should actually force myself to finish book 10, which I got about 10% into and more or less died of boredom?

Ooops, I thought they had ended.

Easy but boring is pretty okay as far as onerous tasks go

OK, this is kind of funny. Remember how my reward for 10 years at my company was 100 points on this proprietary website? I just got 200 pts for winning the Q3 cooking contest (I am pretty sure no one else entered, I made vegan pumpkin pies using a recipe and equipment from one of our brands and wanted to document it is the only reason I submitted anything). I don't know how to turn that into motivation to do my job.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I know people have real problems, but I have to write my self-eval this afternoon. I already tried using AI and that didn't help at all.

You have my thoughts and prayers!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, -t. I would be livid, at least for a second. Try to find amusement in it? Take the money (I mean points) and run?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

ah, I found the link. This is the Outlander fan home decor redo.

I have two or three really good evaluations. Each year I alternate the text with accomplishments or whatever.

Yeah, I'm trying to find something good to spend the points on, at least. I do want to mention how ridiculous it is to someone in leadership because they do talk a lot about employee engagement but I'm not sure who I would feel comfortable approaching

That is so smart, Vortex

Guess who went to urgent care yesterday and got MOAR prednisone with a side of antibiotics? Ugh.
