'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Self-eval~ma to all who need it. Lung~ma likewise.
My manager and I have set up notes pages in Monday dot com for our one-on-ones (it’s really useful—we get into entire conversations there throughout the week, and sometimes we end up not even needing to meet), and I can just skim them and nab the highlights for my self-eval. “Oh, yeah, I did resolve that gnarly issue with our ticketing system—guess I repressed that for a reason. But I totally want props for that in my PEP.”
We don't really do year-end self-evaluations anymore, just individual project postmortems to figure out what went well and what we could do better next time. I'm a lot more comfortable with the subject of the eval being the project rather than me personally, even if I'm talking about things I did on it.
this reminds me why trying to do a bio may be some of what I hate about trying to get published.
Dammit. Hinton Battle has left us; Wikipedia says he died at Cedars Sinai in L.A., but gives no cause of death.
He was probably my favourite part of the musical episode.
He was so talented. A very memorable performance for sure.
Which reminds me that the Grammys are on tonight! One of my favorties. I have to say I am really looking forward to the Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs duet.
Damn. He was only 67.
Timelies all!
So yesterday Mr. S insisted on going to the supermarket with me. Which meant all three of us went, and we ended up with a few more things than were on the list.(including Axe deodorant. He is 8.) I hope this doesn’t become a pattern.
Is it wrong that I wondered if Battle caught fire? Probably a little, and yet?
Hope it was good trip, behaviorally, Sheryl.
Wow, 8? I still picture him as about 5. Time flies. I can’t believe some of my high school and college friends have grown children now—I don’t feel old enough for that, yet somehow this year is my 25th college reunion?!?
I accomplished zero yesterday. I had a migraine in the morning, but even though the drugs made it go away by noonish, I still just sat on the couch and watched TikTok’s all day. Planning to get more done today (and already have, since there’s laundry in the wash and I went out to buy breakfast at a place I’ve been meaning to try!). Have plans for a stretch class (yay, though I dread the warmups which are awkward bear crawls and shit) and afternoon meetup with a friend and her toddler. Maybe dancing too, if I can push myself to do it.
