Yes, prioritizing getting rid of tasks over getting new ones is a good thing.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.

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

Our wings are not tired.
The number of people holding their breath and number of people still unaccounted for is horrific for sure. I don't trust so many of the cheaply built condos. Ugh.

Petting chonky dogs for the win!
I move that shrift and Dana relocate to the same city. Call for seconds.
I think the fact that I'd rather be too cold than too hot is a fundamental stumbling block, but I'm willing to entertain your motion.
