Just got hit in the face with my iPad because a passing truck startled a kneading Loki.
You need to get hold of their new version, the iPadded.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ha, got the tomorrow morning thing done today. I think.
Do not feel like going to the gym now...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay, I used the treadmill today. Let's see if I can use it another time this week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Gold stars all around!

I think the last straw fell; elimination of separate sick leave without an increase in PTO.
Just sent an intemperate one liner to my retiring boss.

I am feeling really glum about my career, a direct result of someone I knew when she was a 23 year old intern just getting a department-head level job at Emory. I feel like every job I get is a step down - I started at a top academic research library, then went to a big state school, and now I'm at a (good) public library. Every single one of those moves was due to moving for mr. flea's work, and then having to find a new job in whatever city we ended up. But I feel like I'll never have a good job again, and I'm getting past my prime.

As in you had 10 sick days and 10 vacation days and now have 20 PTO? Or like you had 10/10 and now have 10? Because the latter is totally a quittable offense. (Something way less egregious, for which they after protest gave us a 1% raise for, is what caused the mass exodus at my last job)

The latter. And the sick leave was still accruable( I had a ridic amount), whereas PTO is not.
And this in an environment where the majority of the staff have 5 weeks leave+ 5 weeks sick, no cap on the latter and something like 6 months on the former.
If I am expected to work with that differential, they can expect to work with a raging, seething ball of resentment. Which will end well for no one.

That sucks, sarameg. Bah.
And flea. I understand why it's happened, but it's a drag.

I'm not going to hide any of it. And I really hope division boss is in tomorrow. And my boss is on site. Because we need to start talking options. And I need to talk to one of the lead jwst testers and see what he has open so I can leverage, if it comes to that.
