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

Thank you, Nilly. I wish I could wash her dishes or something.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And I very much appreciate that doing so puts a message telling you how to unlock it again on screen!

Very important. There should be a toggle on computers if you have or don't have a cat. Barkley has adjusted my browser display.

Thank you, Nilly. Shir is in my heart and thoughts. May her father's memory be a blessing.

Had a two hour chat with my coworker whose last day will be next Friday. I should really update my resume. So much to do, so little executive function

Also, in my determination to remember to bring my breakfast to eat in during my commute this morning, I forgot to bring my lunch, so I had to go pick something up. On my way out I noticed 4 Teslas, all grey and very anonymous looking, no cybertrucks. They only caught my eye because one was parked in the reserved spot next to the owner's spot and I'm always curious about those cars, and then the rest of them looked so much like that one it snagged my attention

Huh. The consultant who has been handling our budgeting & planning module of the new ERP is not with the consulting group any more. So that's exciting. Very curious what the story is behind that, I doubt I will ever find out

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

I keep checking the website for Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. They're known for their DEI programs (they've got a lot of really interesting stuff going on), and they also get NEA funding. So far, nothing on the website has changed at all, as far as I can see.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry for your loss, Shir.

On the upside, we have been told we are not required to answer the stupid email, and will not get fired for not replying. On the downside, one of my co-workers took early retirement and her last day is Friday. Sigh...

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

i How long ago did you sign the contract, quester? Each stat has some period of time where you can back out. I just bought my car and here it was 5 days but other states are longer. Was the salesperson nice? They may be able to help.

It was the 1st of February. I don't think the salesman can help me. It was the Finance guy who told me when I called later that I was bound by the contract i'd signed.

I'm going to check with the State Driver's rules.

I’m at this program at the Chicago Symphony right now [link] (and it is actually fucking great).
