Good news: after googling "how to deal with a control-freak boss" last night and forcing myself not to obsess over it, this morning started off on a great note (we got a *huge* grant from the Historic Trust for a Master Plan) and nothing came of anything from yesterday. I'm taking my win and slinking away. The great thing about the grant is that is was one that she wrote, so I got to stroke her ego and call her awesome and a rockstar and she preened happily, and well-deservedly.
Talking with another coworker today, the running theory is that she barely got to see her husband over the weekend, and he lives in another state, so weekends are all they have. I feel bad, I just wish she didn't react this way.
Timelies all!
Woke up this morning and there was ice/snow on my car. :side-eyes March:
My conference call at 3 got a lot better when someone walked up and handed me a beer. March Madness floor-wide happy hour.
Brenda, yes, it's good.
Interview went very well. Downside of job is working in a cubicle instead of an office, have to do payroll. Upside is really nice HR staff as coworkers and more money than I was making.
I also have two interviews with Sony coming up.
and more money
So you can buy tickets to fly up to San Francisco and visit us!
Sounds like it went very well indeed, Scrappy. Not that I'm surprised. Who wouldn't want to hire you?
So speaking of nail polish, I went and got my nails done for the first time in FOREVER. Why don't I do that more often? Now they are all pretty: FTR Zoya Caitlin on my fingers (brought my own) and a pretty OPI teal on my toes. And now justifying the sitter by snagging tea, chocolate, and free wifi at a local bakery. I like spring break.

I am very glad someone on that train had an epipen and there was a doctor in the house.
Whoa, Plei. That's scary.
And bakery has been taken over by high school students, so I'm going to cede the terrain.
I'm not that familiar with Ta Nehisi--why would he have died in other countries? People don't have epipens? Don't help black people? Don't help people?
My anxiety over his safety is clearly mollified by reading an article by him after the fact--so I am left confused by the definite patriotism of his gratitude.
