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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, Dana, I'm sorry.
Good luck, sara.
Yeah, flea, that's starting to sound like bullet dodged, I'd say.

Talk to me? I'm having a stupid panic attack -- Dan got me a spring cleaning service for V Day, and I am huddled on the porch chair, shaking, after having a meltdown before they came. Because I didn't have the spoons to do more than get off the floors before they came.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Aww, Strix, it's ok. Breathe. It's totally understandable how you feel, but you didn't need to do anything. They're a cleaning service. Trust me, they've seen worse. That's their job.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Maria, that's an interesting article. I'm sharing it with my other teacher friends.
flea, that sounds like a major red flag to me. I'd bail.
-t, it's heartening to me to know that my company is not the only one pulling shenanigans.
I despair at the thought of dealing with this corporate BS for another 10-12-15 years. This morning's meeting left me exhausted just thinking about what's planned for this year.

What Liese said, Strix! It's okay. I totally feel your meltdown though.
