I haven't made it into the office yet. My alarm went off at 6am, and my body went NOPE. And then the snooze button came into play.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

The status is NOT quo.
I am at work and not feeling it. We have a guest speaker from 9-3. Seriously. I have so much work to do to get ready for the semester, I can't fathom spending the whole day in workshops no matter how good this guy is. The students are back tomorrow and expect me to teach them, needy creatures.

That's a long day of guest speaker.

A rant I cannot rant elsewhere: I cannot BELIEVE I work for a public library that does not get the Times Literary Supplement on microfilm and throws the print issues away after 6 months. So someone looking for a book reviewed there in 2014 is SOL with us. It's a REALLY FUNDAMENTAL BOOK REVIEW SOURCE and we claim to be a major city with a national-class public library!

I don't know anything about that, but you make a persuasive argument.
I can take every Friday off in February and be back up to having a week of vacation available by April. I think I'm gonna do that.

Got an invite at 7:58 for an 8AM call to find that major changes to our department are being rolled out to my direct reports TODAY without any background or prep (including that they are no longer my DRs as of 1/1 but will not be told who they do now report to). JFC, my boss just has no concept of change management or fucking human nature at all.

WTF? That makes no sense, brenda.
You took that other position?

Yes? I mean, once that other position came up my boss went ahead and restructured the entire department without me so not really any options. And frankly, since it gets me out of her organization I'm glad of it. But I'm sort of in a weird no-man's-land right now. The new role won't ramp up for a month or so.
It's not just me affected, others are in a similar boat. But god damn this is weird and effed up.
