Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Happy Birthday, Jon B!

I hope the Kia turns out to be your dream car, Laura.

Thanks, all, for the happy birthday wishes. You're the bestest!

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

Oh, and the state senate just passed a bill saying that university faculty aren't allowed to strike.

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

Oh, no, Hil, that is a whole lot of bad!

Good grief, Hil.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ugh. This fucking world.

And I'm sorry to do this to you all, but I saw something yesterday that I can't get out of my skull and now you get to suffer too. Jillifonting for the timorous (though no Jillifonts are involved.)

I was on a Teams call and one person was in our Atlanta office, and the onscreen data showed that he was sitting in a "collabocus" room.

There's no other way to view that than a crime against society and the English language. It may have pushed me fully over to team Giant Asteroid (+ now with bonus newly discovered/desecrated Egyptian tomb!).

Happy belated birthday, Beverly!

I thought I was prepared for the Jillifont as a corporate American, but my face went on a journey of slow dawning horror.

I don’t even understand what that word is supposed to mean?? I am team “maybe it’s a typo”?

Hil that sounds like a shitshow nightmare. Of COURSE just when you need her most they get rid of the lady with institutional knowledge

Like meara, I can't even tell what they're trying to morph there!

Oh, god, no, I just got it. Collaborate and focus? My eyes are @@ down the hall and out the door. Good god.

Only okay if they are using an abacus

Ohhh Jen is more corporate that I am! I was with -t on the abacus.
