My boss, whom I sort of hate, kind of hugged me today. She also suggested we dance. I declined.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oops, we horrified msbelle.
Burrell, can you do me a favour and ask them how they define a sugar soda? You wouldn't have to engage, per se. Just inquire. No way that could go wrong.
Sorry, but no. Not engaging, remember? Also sorry to not respond earlier, I was teaching.

My boss did not hug me, my boss is out until Friday. I was in meetings from 8am to 4:30pm. lunch was with 2 Directors in my department I will be supporting in some aspects, so it was lots of business talk.
I got a Blackberry which is super exciting for me since I have been smartphone free for a year.
But mostly I AM TIRED. I have not worked a full 8-5 day in an office in well over 18 month. good gravy on a stick.

Yay!
Want to know something spooky? Starting this weekend, Pumpkin started doing her version of echolocation when she is upstairs alone going to nap on the spare bed. Mister Kitty's spot. And I just got his ashes home. Pure coincidence, but ooooOOOOOoooo.
She's also taught Devi to cry at the door when I'm out on the deck. She's teaching these guys all sorts of new habits.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
helicopter parents in the office. WTF.
Note: I had a graduate student's parent call me about her internship and I refused to speak to the woman. I said that the issue is something her daughter had to handle. I was not going to speak to her mother about it.
If more employers set appropriate boundaries, this shit would stop.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yay for new job, msbelle!
But mostly I AM TIRED.
I highly recommend lowering your expectations of what you can accomplish outside work during weeknights for at least the next few weeks. Any new job, new skill, new language, taxes the brain and you may find yourself sleeping more and just... kind of braindead. Give yourself time to adjust. /unasked for advice based on extensive personal experience
