Congrats to Matilda on getting the job, and to the Zmayhem household for surviving the process!
A co-worker shared this article today, and it really resonated with me. Languishing is *exactly* how I feel lately.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, wow, that's a term I need to know

That feels pretty accurate, yeah.

Woo, a good thing for Matilda!
I get my second jab tomorrow, so I'll probably spend the next couple of weeks scheduling all of the in-person appointments for when I'm at full immunity. I'll have to see if my stylist is still working at the salon, because something needs to be done with this mop of hair on my head.
I also finally got notice from the IRS that I do not, in fact, owe them like $50K and the inquiry is closed. Zero regrets about paying an accountant to handle that for me.

I have the worst goddamn FOMO watching everyone get vaccinated. (I can get vaccinated the first week of May, so not much longer. But still, the wait is making me so impatient!)

Money well spent!

Yay Matilda! I'm so glad something came through for her.
Yay Shrift's accountant! I'm glad the IRS stuff is resolved.
I just had my yearly review, and it went well. I keep saying I'm going to get another job in MI, and I just have to keep this one going until then. But another job has yet to materialize, so I'm glad this one is going well. And I have a new title (not really a promotion, more a recognization that my work priorities are different now), and I can make that look good on LinkedIn. Career progress! Sort of. Anyway, I broke out the second half of a pint of Ben and Jerry's to celebrate. (Chocolate fudge brownie.)

Our wings are not tired.
Eeep. Waiting for verdict. Sending peaceful and justice thoughts.

This was so helpful. Of course, I am stuck just being addicted to Best Fiends. Damn you Kevin Flynn for Crime Writers on! They have been advertising for it this whole time, and I wasn't feeling up to it. Now I am and I can't stop playing. I am acheiving flow, I guess.... Also, a Buffista is one of their favorite listeners and appears on the Patreon Book Club. Anyway, a great podcast if you like people who think critically about documentary podcasts, movies and TV series. Although the theme is true crime, it is really four smart people analyzing things, kind of like we used to do with Buffy.
I am so glad Matilda got the job!
