It is, somehow, still snowing.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Well, we survived a virtual school day for Mr. S without the nanny.(She apparently went out of town, and wouldn't be back until the time she would pick him up at school) There were a couple of classes where he wasn't paying attention to the screen, but it went well over all.

Is it staffed by three Capital One cards in a trenchcoat?
Hah!
I get emails all the time from corporate headquarters about “important” organizational changes, and I don’t think a single one has ever made a difference in my life or even been noticed.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
The BBC used to do that as an incredibly passive-aggressive way of defending our pitiful salaries. (I mean they probably still do, just not to me anymore since I haven't worked there in 6 years.)
I am pretty sure this is the reason at my workplace as well. However, since there is virtually no other jobs in my area, I am not sure where else we would be working that didn't pay less. Maybe a state university, but it is hard to get a job there.

Our wings are not tired.
That's great, Sheryl. It is hard enough for adults to pay attention to the screen for any length of time.

Also, hopefully people can't track me, but before COVID 19 we had such a challenge filling positions with competent people because they are so low paying (and called Administrative Assistants even though they are running programs). All of the sudden, we have some really competent people.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
But now we have a VP of People, a Director of People, and People programs and it all sounds weird
Oy.
I was on a call the other day and someone started talking about “Becky from HR” and it really took me a bit to process that it wasn’t social commentary, it was an actual person.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

This just got the Up With People song stuck in my head.
ION, I haven't developed superpowers yet. Still hoping for a really cool one. Or flashy but useless.
I have in fact lost my sense of smell, and it is so fucking weird. I have a pumpkin spice Yankee Candle, and I stuck my nose in the jar and took a deep sniff, and...NOTHING. I can still taste stuff, though probably not as strongly as I would if my sniffer were working. But I just ate some mashed taters, and I could taste them, and I could taste the butter on them as its own distinct taste.
