Heh, we were on a Zoom call and my boss was immediately all "do we need to leave the building?" but no one (most of them were remote) jumped in to support that and we just when on with it. I was checking for confirmation from my tracking apps and not paying attention to the call, of course.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Thrive to spite them
Stay safe !
Happy Birthday Hil!,
I forgot to go check out the lights late enough. With all the trees it can be hard to see anything cool.
Today at work they reminded us to check out schedule for the week of Thanksgiving. I looked and it looked like I expected. But then I looked closer and realized I do not have tomorrow off . Instead I have Tues and Thursday off next week (our weeks run Sat-Sun). So that means I'm working 6 days in a row.
And work friend let me know she has gotten a referral to see a psychiatrist about medication and about seeing a different therapist. It sounds like her boyfriend has been encouraging her. And she hasn't texted you to me about any of the stuff she's been stressing over.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Happy birthday, Hil!
It’s Michigan-typical cold here now. Which is fine. But usually my body sort of adjusts, so I still feel the cold, but I don’t get all shivery. And that hasn’t kicked in yet. Annoying.
The skies cleared around sundown yesterday, so I went out to try and see the aurora. I stopped at a couple of likely places, with no luck, even through the camera. Then I went home, saw a faint glow from the parking lot, and I was able to catch some red and green on my phone’s camera.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Hil!
As it happened, neither school is able to take Mr. S right now. One has a waiting list, the other had one spot and two kids they were looking at-they went with the other kid.
At least I will get my back pay by the end of next week.

I just had my annual review and got a "strong achieves", yay! A big relief considering I flip-flopped every week as to if I was going to get an "achieves" or "development needed".

I woke up at 3am and couldn’t fall back asleep so finally at 430 just got up and started reading the internet, then joined a 6am meeting I wasn’t planning to attend (because I also have a 7am meeting I have to actually participate in) but I may just take a huge nap in the middle of the day.

Punishingly Intricate
I woke up to people on our roof at 7 am. I was hoping to get a shower before they started but oh well. I mean, I could shower but they are replacing the skylight in the bathroom and brrrr

lol—planned people on the roof, I assume—I initially read that as “surprise! Burglars on the roof!” Or something.

Our wings are not tired.
Roofers replacing the bathroom skylight would no doubt applaud you taking a shower.
