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.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

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

I suspected that might be an issue, but have you considered shrift and Dana move to Hawaii?

Nice, flea! Very exciting.

I would rather live somewhere that's not going to be miserable in the next twenty years due to climate change. Not feeling super-optimistic about that.

In less dramatic but still good work-related news, between Tuesday morning and late this afternoon I've gone from being in an anxiety tailspin about not knowing... well, much of anything about an imminent project to feeling I have a pretty good grasp of the overall setup, and getting the okay to bring in my preferred vendor for subcontracting the nuts-and-bolts work. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Imposter Syndrome!

Nice, Matt!
I just a delicious rice and beef bowl and really good crispy tofu bites from a local place. And I went to the gym. Unrelated except that if I hadn't been at the gym, I might not have picked up takeout on the way home.
My root canal is Monday. I'm pre-indulging myself?
