For our Buffista teachers, especially those in the LAUSD. I found this article eye-opening, and yet another check on my white privilege.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh good lord. Yesterday, my boss told me I'd be taking over all the Latin AMerica accounts (there have been two of us covering them, but the column hasn't really been enough to justify that) starting 4/1. I went to the other analyst this morning just to ask if there was anything she thought we really needed to go over before that happened and she was kind of taken aback, saying she hadn't heard anything official, which I agreed, this wasn't really official, I just wanted to check in with her. Now the official email has gone out and it says I'll be handling all of LATAM as of 3/14. How did that happen? It'll be fine, it really doesn't matter, but how did the timeline get moved up by over two weeks with no discussion whatsoever?
That reminds me, gotta make pies this weekend.

my tape dispenser is a C15, probably not suitable for bludgeoning.
A Swingline 747 stapler also works well. I have a bright red one on my desk.

My red Swingline is at home, I fear it would walk off if I brought it in to work. I have a small purple one here that probably would not be great for bludgeoning. Pretty light.

So I emailed my "confusion" to the head of the search committee, who replied that she had stepped down as the head of the search committee (since the phone interview a week ago), and the new head of the search committee is the person who evaded my question during the interview. My email has been forwarded to this new search committee head for comment.
Yeah, that makes me feel better about this job.

My new coasters for my oddly nice work desk arrived, so there's that.
WANT.
I referred to myself as an infectious cloud in the email I just sent indicating that I thought it best that I work from home while I'm a coughing, sneezing, and congested hot mess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just checked, and I'm pretty sure my tape dispenser would be the best thing for bludgeoning on my desk.
Update: Maybe it's less my job trying to kill me and more my uterus? Although the fuckery is real.

If memory serves, ostriches are one of very few animals that can outdo human beings at long distance running as well as in sprints.

Oh, Dana, I'm sorry.
Good luck, sara.
Yeah, flea, that's starting to sound like bullet dodged, I'd say.
