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.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

I was offered and accepted a job today! It is part time and entry level (not as a librarian) but for a small specialized library (Teppy, The Merc) with only six people and there’s potential. Or it could be something I do for a year while I figure out what’s next. Watch Facebook because it’s a completely fabulous space that I will show off once I start.
Feels weird but mostly good? Forgot what good feels like.
