Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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

So, today's the day I get to deal with my little HR issue that erupted on Friday. I have a meeting with my employee and our HR rep at 1. She will be offered the choice to continue to work for us on a freelance basis from home, or...there is no or. She can do that, she can resign, or she can force the issue and be let go for performance. Ugh.

On a better note, my primary stakeholder was chosen as MVP for the year for our Americas business at a dinner last night of the top players in the organization - and my boss just called me to let me know that he name checked me in his speech!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

It is probably my prejudice showing, but I would much rather have a secret muslim president than a mormon one. They know how to keep secrets and have a secret agenda.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Today I have the mystery lunch with HR. My current guess is that it's a sharing and bonding thing, but it's the head of HR and three other people. This is not sustainable across the entire company. I don't know how my name got into the hat, if everyone is going to have to do this, what.

I also would really have preferred to work from home today, but I ain't fucking with that shit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, brenda.

I do think that the Mormon thing is still a thing, and am shocked that apparently being Catholic is OK now! For Santorum AND Gingrich! I guess that's something...? (Please note that I mean "OK to conservative Protestants," not to me personally.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It is kind of bizarre to me that the only Protestant in the 2012 race will be the Democratic candidate. But this whole GOP primary season has been bizarre.

and people don't believe he is Protestant!

Heh.

and people don't believe he is Protestant!

Which means that in the mind of many right-wing voters, the choice this year will be between a Mormon and a Muslim. Like I said, bizarre.

Because books.

Yikes, brenda. Good luck.

At least they're feeding you, ita?

Snow predicted today. It seems so outrageous. It's not that kind of winter!

Jessica,

I love that letter. I need to bookmark that and share it with my students on the job market.
