Thanks, everyone! I backed out of group beers tonight (that I organized) because I don't feel safe driving to Durham on just a couple of hours' sleep (the pain has been keeping me up) with the epilepsy and all, which is probably overly cautious, but I'm also tired. One of the guys I have beers with offered to help with anything post-surgery, and another wrote a poem lamenting my absence. A third just wrote that they will pour one out in my memory, which I don't think is exaaactly what he meant.
Workplace ~ma all around. brenda, glad you have a way out. sara, hope you find one, too. Burrell, I hope your co-worker is OK.
Having had a dog who blended into the dark, I'm glad that Jetta came back.
These are the bomb for dark as night dogs: [link] Not for this circumstance but generally.
One think is certain, nothing will happen until after Jan 1 so I can get my 401k match and owed PTO.
And also have a lot of sudden illnesses, right?
Thanks amyth, I won't know more until later, tomorrow or even after that probably.
OMG I am done with grading for now! I am so frigging tired, I'm going to celebrate by taking a nap before I head out to take my daughter to the doctor's this afternoon.
boo workplace shenanigans and yay brenda for finding a good way out of them
Indeed
Oh, my god, I hate everyone. Except you guys. But Jesus Christ, I cannot take the news any more. I can't cope.
Y'all are just speaking for me today!
Better plan, amyth. May rest be renewing.
Went to the dentist today, and overwhelmed with work as usual. At least it keeps me away from the news and FB. The absolute last straw was yesterday. A 'friend' posted her dream ideal world, which involved a Rubio/Fiorina vicotry, Trump as head of Homeland Security, and Obama and Clinton in jail. Along with another dozen ridiculous items that I glazed over. That's it. DH says I should just block people, but I really think cold turkey is better. Staying in the safe zones for my sanity.
Last night, the topic of politics came up, and my friend's husband said something about how he's not posting political stuff on FB anymore, and I could not stop myself before I said, "Oh, I can re-follow you now?" Hee. It really is just better that way.
Yeah, I don't post political stuff on FB, even though the gun violence issue is sorely testing that resolve.
I can totally understand that. I feel like I have to say something or just explode, even though I know I'm preaching to the choir and a few disagreeing family members.
Timelies all!
Medical~ma to you, amyth.
Work~ma to all who need it.
