'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Strix, I completely understand that feeling, and that's why I've avoided looking into a cleaning service even though we really need one, but I'm sure Liese's right and they've seen worse and regardless they're getting paid.
We put a lot of value judgement on housekeeping and it honestly doesn't belong there. We live in a complex world. We are not 1950's housewives whose role is tied up in our ability to set a neat table. There is a lot of living going on, and if that means our houses get messy, then so be it.
I only know this because I do a lot of beating myself up for the state of my living. In fact, today I'm planning on doing a bunch of catch-up housecleaning. But my value as a human being does not diminish because I've been unable to keep up with it in the recent past. I am valuable *because* I am a human being. And so are you.
