Man, if only. I wish I could recommend a big city in Texas, but I can't.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We are finally doing the shuffling around of tasks and responsibilities that our last reorg was supposed to be for! It's an ugly looking plan, we will be done around the middle of August and then we get to actually try to do the new tasks and so forth so I'm sure that will be fun for some time into the future. But at least the way things are scheduled I get to give away some of my current tasks before I get full responsibility for new ones, so that's nice for me.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, prioritizing getting rid of tasks over getting new ones is a good thing.

Well, we have had several months of just getting new responsibilities and being told that our current tasks would shift eventually, so I wouldn't say anyone was prioritizing it...but it's better than it might be for me personally

Today we had a staff cookout at work -- senior management grilled and served the rest of us. Not that it's a large or out of touch mgt . I am once again reminded that there are way worse places to work.

Thanks, y'all!
-t, I hope the reorg works out well for you.
It is an utterly gorgeous day here. I think our debilitating heat went up to the Pacific Northwest instead. Sorry, Seattle and Portlanders.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Happy Teppy birthday week!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Tim is still working second shift (though hopefully not for much longer), but I did go get a drink with friends last night, and the bar's patio allows dogs, so I got to pet a very chonky VERY friendly bulldog many many times. And then I came home and watched Loki. Really, all I could ask for out of a birthday.

Timelies all!
Back to work today for me. (Gary took the whole week off)

Laura, I just saw a story on that building collapse - horrific!
