I'm waiting for my boss to get out of a meeting I'm not in so we can have our 1:1. We just had our (over long) Town Hall which are now, I guess, quarterly. It had applause points. When we were told to applaud. I do not like. I guess this is all part of the whole trying to reinvent ourselves as an actual 21st century agile corporation or whatever.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I have an assumption that I would have to work hard to get past that everyone has read HHGttG
I assume people who have read it would be delighted to be randomly handed a copy while on the beach, so it's win-win.

Because books.
Sheryl, I hope you find something that works well, like...yesterday.
Wishing good sleep and energy to smonster!
I'm on my phone, which I hate, but for the book, I would say I The Book Thief. I hope that works(ed).

That is a good point, Jessica

Our wings are not tired.
I had a whole Meara but I lost it in the buffer.
I hate when that happens! Flirty packing does sound like the best kind of packing.
I just want to get around this corner.
It's been a long hard corner. May the days be few until you see things all fall into place.
Still adding to my book list. So many books. Honestly, that is one of the best things about my "retirement". More time for reading and listening to books. I always seem to have 3 going at once now. Alas, the one I am listening to for FL book club is a total snooze.

The worst.
Hi, Amy! Just because. Nice to see you!
I haven't thought of a good book answer yet.
I'm making an instant pot dinner again, which is good, because I wanted to order, but restrained myself. And it's getting me back in the kitchen to make things.
I am so sorry, Sheryl. I wish I had more to offer than that.

Fruity pebbles:
That sucks, ND, and sending "pay up, mf-ers" vibes to your clients
smonster, flirty packing sounds like an excellent plan

I'm making shrimp scampi with pasta. Although, full disclosure: the shrimp scampi is from Trader Joe's, so all I do is bake it from frozen and then put it on spaghetti. Super tasty, though.

Because books.
We had Italian takeout, because it was one of my 8 am to 7 pm days (my brain officially went offline, with audible sizzling and popping). I had pizza and also penne alla vodka. Noms.
Hi, JenP! ::tacklehugs JenP just because::
I forgot to say Fie! on your clients! to ND. Consider it said!
