That's lovely, Brenda.

Librarian Warlord

I didn't have to go into the office today, fortunately. I am so angry at the universe right now, and would also like to skritch Mr. Peabody.

We also got a number of phone calls last night between 1-3 a.m. because the campus where I work had a report of a possible armed gunman and a shelter in place order was issued. It's final exams right now, so the library was supposed to be open until 2 a.m., but when they issue the order the doors are locked, and no one is supposed to go in or out. The school's warning system called to let me know of the shelter in place order, and then my desk attendants needed me to reassure them of what they were supposed to do.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Super glad I work from home today. I am so fucking tired. I got a normal amount of sleep last night, but then I slept for another 2 hours. And I would like to just go back to bed.

I don't actually have much work to do today, but I have Christmas stuff to do that has a deadline (making photo calendars for Tim's family), so I'm pulling up my socks.

By the way, the Buffistas are now rock stars in my mom's eyes because of our concern that Mr. Peabody finds a good home.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm at work, but I'm a seething ball of anger, and I hope no one comes to talk to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

On the upside, I am wearing awesome new boots that I got on sale over the weekend.

I am doing nothing at work and doing it quite well. I would that I weren't, there's lots to get done, but my brain and body are moving through molasses, processing. I'm tempted to close my cube door, but the damn cube has windows in it. Yeah, right, my view of more cubes with more windows. All I see are heads.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Thanks to a bunch of people sending me things in emails, I have already accomplished a lot today, which makes me wonder if I can go home at lunch. I bet if my boss sees me cry she might even suggest it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I knew it was coming, and it still hit me like a fist to the gut.

There was a mention in one of the threads that Mr. Peabody might need a behaviorist, correct? UGA also has a behaviorist section. We found them helpful when Joey was having trouble adjusting to life outside a cage.

So sad. It's hard to believe.
