Ugh. waiting for a call back. I reached out to senior leadership this morning about some serious concerns I have about the direction of our department and risk to talent. Would appreciate any stay focused ~ma so I can get everything across without sounding like it's a bunch of complaining.

Don't you belong to a gym? Shower there!

The showers are sketchy as hell. I'm just going to gird my loins and take the fastest shower ever. There may be screaming.

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

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Wow. You have ovaries of steel. I'd wear flip-flops and use a sketchy shower over an ice cold one anyday. I'll JUMP into cold water and get out immediately, but an ice-cold shower fills me with fear and loathing.

They always test my glucose, too, and that's always fine. So I've got that going for me.

Mine has been fine 99% of the time, but they also check my glucose because of my family history.

Anyhoodle, I'm just mentally preparing for all the fist-shaking I'll be doing at the universe when I go in for a physical and my numbers still aren't great despite massive lifestyle changes because genetics.

but an ice-cold shower fills me with fear and loathing.

When I ran the hot water tap in the bathroom sink, it went from ice cold to...room temperature, if the room hasn't had the furnace turned on yet. So, basically, a touch "warmer" than cold.

I am kind of pissed that all the oatmeal, fruit/veg, coconut oil, and exercise had very little effect. I mean, I could have been eating Frankenberry for breakfast and loafing around instead of going to the gym like a chump.

But if you'd been doing that, your cholesterol could have gone super high!

Oooh, fair point. (Besides, the Frankenberry doesn't taste as good as I remember it tasting when I was a kid.)

Okay, I'm about to brave the shower. Maybe I'll pretend it's summer camp (which never, EVER had hot water for the showers).
