Timelies all!
Quiet on the board today...
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I'm waiting for someone to pick up Jim's old desk. Wound up cleaning and reorganizing a file box trying to find the assembly instructions - didn't find them, but there's a big stack of old paper waiting to be shredded.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hugs to everyone who needs them.
I got called for jury duty 6 times when I was pregnant with or breastfeeding Alexandra, so I got excused every time (once was for the week she was due, and I was tempted to send a picture of my gigantic belly). Naturally, I haven't been called since.

Also, last week was Peanut's first week back of in-person schooling, so she naturally came down with a head cold. Sigh. I had really enjoyed the Year of No Colds. So it was a weekend of mainlining The Muppet Show and PBS Kids programming, and she's home with me today. I'll see if I can get any work done.

Ugh, I have to start working in the office 3 days a week next week. I was hired in August, so I've never had to commute.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sorry, Dana. Hope it's not too much hassle.

I hope your commute isn't too onerous, Dana.
We're looking at going nearly fully face to face in fall semester. We have a number of non-US students who might run into difficulties getting back here, so we're keeping plans for hybrid and whatnot available. And apparently a handful of instructors had a good experience and are like, "But what if . . . we didn't?" That was kind of unexpected. Still no word on when my team's expected back or how often. I'm hoping we'll move from a 4-days in the office, 1-day work from home week to more of a 2/3 split. It would help me keep my workout routine going, as well as saving on gas.

Our wings are not tired
I moved my company out of our building in Pasadena and now we are all 90% remote and staying that way. We have a warehouse space in Valencia with a small office now. Each of my full timers helps cover that office, which for most of them works out to one 10 AM to 4 PM shift in the warehouse office every other week.
