I took a sick day yesterday, and today I dragged myself to work even though I'm so tired it hurts. I need to work on strategic career stuff, come up with a plan of action that will take me out of the 'meets expectations' doghouse. But right now I have no spoons and I just want to accept defeat.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Do not accept defeat! I say that mostly because I am in a similar position wrt sick day yesterday and needing to be super strategic today. It hasn't happened YET, but any minute now, I'm sure....

And the shuttle from my house to the airport and back is booked for next month. Operation Solo Vacation to Vegas is a go! Just me and many things to read as I lounge in a hot tub or pool. And then the serious work of finding a new place to live when I get back. I hope to be in at least an apartment by the end of the year.

I missed an informal deadline before Xmas because I was out sick, then on vacation, and someone escalated it to my Executive Director, I found out yesterday. Grrr.

Ugh, Sue.
I don't need to be super strategic today, more like over the course of the next year. I have to sit down and think about it, and break it into component parts. I need to network and stuff. I have to think about what I want to be when I grow up, and I DOAN WANNA.

Woo, Connie!
Bummer, Sue. Escalating while you were out is silly and poor form.
I told myself on Sunday that if I came home from work on Monday and Tuesday and moved forward on Operation Kitchen (last week I couldn't face doing anything after work) I'd treat myself to a movie today. And I did! But now I'm second-guessing myself because there's a storm today and there probably won't be tomorrow and maybe I'd rather just drive home through the wind and rain instead of driving to the theater and then later driving home?
Either way, I am not too interested in doing my actual work. I mean, I am doing my actual work, but I'm letting my attention wander quite a bit whenever I can. Just a lot of not caring very much.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
amyth, which 5K is that? I would totally be up for something to support their memorial.

Tornadoes and earthquakes and NC are unmixy things. Maybe the planet is trying to shake teh stoopit out of NC politicians?
I think it's gonna take something a lot higher on the Richter scale to manage that. Possibly a hell mouth opening in Raleigh would do it.

Once nice thing. I have a Macy's card, and they changed their credit card processing service last year. The site was broken and I got charged a late fee for not paying my bill on time even though I'd set up an automatic payment before the transition. I complained to Macy's and they sent me a check! You done fucked up, but you fixed it, Macy's. Four for you.
