I am going to work- I thought about staying home because I slept fitfully and my eyes are swollen, but I have an important meeting and I was basically out for the last 2weeks.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I have an article that has to be turned in tomorrow morning, and it'll take about 7 hours. I want to just stay in bed, but I have to get this done. At least I don't work in an office with other people who I have to explain my red, puffy eyes to.

I have a meeting with the Dean this morning, so he can tell me that the Provost is threatening not to sign any contracts (putting me and 7 others here out of a job) but that I shouldn't worry because the ABA says there has to be someone with my job title here. If the provost signs mine, but refuses to sign the others, I can't quite imagine walking into the faculty meeting that follows.
Tomorrow, however, is a holiday, and I am inside-pantsing.

Thank you, Zen, for being our conduit for information. I know that's not so easy. I've been worrying about Mr. Peabody, too, and I'm glad he's got a place to go. I hope Ginger knows that she's got a lot of people who will do what we can to make sure he's cared for.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I desperately want to be here with you all, but today I'm giving the biggest pitch of my career. This is literally a huge deal, and I need to have my shit together. Ginger would not want any of us to fall apart because of her, so I am going to pull up my socks and take care of business. I love you all, and I'm here in spirit until I can be back in pixels.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Kick its ass, Maria.

Our wings are not tired.
Hit it out of the ballpark, Maria.
I am working at home today.
