Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I finished and submitted all my paperwork. It's not great, but it's done. And I'm halfway convinced that it'll get some automatic rejection because a lot of the classes I took for professional development have words like "equity" and "inclusion" in their names.

I’m off work today and listening to mr fleas morning meeting. These poor managers. Everybody has questions and they have no answers. They found out what probationary employees were fired after the employees did. Like they came in to work this morning and were told who was gone.

Addressing telework: They can telework through next week. “What then?” “We’ll know next week.” “If you don’t have a desk in the building, please let me know and we’ll figure something out.”

Theo that’s terrible as a price point! Did the surgeon have any non-platinum options?

Theo, please tell us that you'll at least be able to bite through thick steel cables like Jaws from the Bond movies afterwards!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Theo, did you laugh in his face or wait until you were in your car?

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

Dang, Theo! Um is right.

Ugh, flea. The more I hear about this whole thing the worse it seems. So so bad. Does mr. flea know how his personal path is going to go? Continuing good wishes for the water position
