I'm so sorry, msbelle.
Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

Whenever I become eligible for the vaccine I am definitely taking a sick day or two afterwards.
And I’m going to take a bereavement day for my uncle and go scream into the void somewhere.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, msbelle, they sound wonderful. And you take whatever time you need--your work will just have to understand.
In NC I worked with a woman who called the grocery chain "Food Dog." Something about a younger relative, the logo, and foo dogs. It wore off on me, and then on H and then on the kids, and then on their friends. We all still call it Food Dog. When H was in Charlotte a couple years ago his brother finally asked, "What's with the Food Dog?" H had to call me to get the history beyond, "Carrie always called it that."

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh msbelle, I'm so sorry.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
trying to decide if I'm annoyed by something. No, I'm annoyed, but not sure if I should be.
For the class I'm teaching, all of the sections of students have the same legal problem. Since there are 5 of us, it makes sense to divide up the work and make sure that they all do the same thing. So, I draft one of the pleadings according to the conversation that we had as a group about a month ago, using X, Y, and Z. I post it on the Teams site, and one of colleagues says "this is really great for X, Y, and Z, but I told my class X, Y, and Q, so I changed the document and will be giving it to my class. I've posted the updated document if anyone else wants to do X, Y, and Q".
first, I am annoyed that she just changed the document. Had it been me, I would have emailed the group and said "Hey, I told my class X, Y, and Q, so I want to make sure that we are on the same page. I can update X, Y, and Z if we are all in agreement"
second, I am annoyed that she took it upon herself to change the game with her class, and now we are inconsistent.
I would also add that I sent the document to the program leader, who signed off on me posting it, so I think that if I had been wrong about X,Y, and Z, she would have said.
Grrrr.

I'm so sorry, msbelle. May his memory bring you peace.
Vortex, I hope that instructor has vetted the XYQ problem to make sure it really works. In my experience, probably not. Someone warn the librarians!

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, msbelle. Yes, please take whatever time you need. I'm sure he loved being your fun uncle.

I'm so sorry, msbelle. March is being a really hard month for you this year. Hugs, hugs, hugs.
