Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And that we can't be honest about organisational flaws they way they seem to be asking because we have to protect us--because someone has to.

The one exit interview I've ever had was with the CEO -- my boss's boss. That boss was a mess, but the organization couldn't figure out that getting rid of the bad bosses would lower the turnover rate for the positions about them. Anyway, I started saying some things about the boss, but really very delicately, because I definitely didn't want to start burning bridges. The CEO made it very clear (but also delicately) that she totally agreed with me about the crazy boss. That was the first job I had where I really knew that everyone else saw what was going on. I guess my point is, neither of us was lying, but we were both definitely talking in code. And that was plenty.

Also, I plan to be anti-social this weekend and do errands and clean the house and etc. After two weekends of lots of stuff going on and busy weeks in between, I need a break.

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

Is Bur-GUN-dy correct?

This weekend: hiking on Sunday, usual household upkeep type stuff. I may be able to get my china and crystal unpacked.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So, what are people doing this weekend?

Sigh. In my ideal world? Visiting my sister and getting to see you too. In this world? Well Franny's temp was just 102.6, so I'm probably not going anywhere. I guess we'll see what the doctor (AKA my sister) says.

Cool. I've been wondering for years.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Tonight - Hec's reading thingy.

Tomorrow - avoiding St. Patrick's day revellers, guitar lesson with Matt H., and then dinner with YOU (Perkins), megan, and JZ.

Sunday - prob. avoiding revellers again.

Buffistae-tastic weekend, for sure.

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

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

So, what are people doing this weekend?

Taxes.
