When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

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

Panel interview with a prospective new hire who would be, I think, a manager in my department but not one I would report to (which is a pretty weird structure for a 3 person department, but has been working pretty well). I looked at his Linked In beforehand and "Tim Tebow" shows up under "Interests/Top Voices", whatever that means. I'm trying not to hold that against him

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Holy fucking shit my team has been reorged and it's the one I prayed for; we are in SUCH a better org chart. I'm no longer a manager! Instead I get to focus on systemic things like our tools stack, solving our lack of publishing processes, the actual behind-the-scenes site management, and so on. I'm actually relieved by this, because trying to do those things AND manage nine people was leading me to a nervous breakdown.

I've never wanted a reorg before, but MY GOD I'm grateful for this one.

The last several times I left the office there was a gorgeous sunset. I do always appreciate a good sunset, but the reminder that I am leaving work just in time for it to be dark is not great. Today I am working from home and I never turned on any artificial light because I guess it was a bright enough day I didn't need it (hooray for stalling until beyond the last minute to stagger from bed to the living room to work and probably less fog this morning)and now I'm all tilting my keyboard at an angle to catch the light from my monitor rather than getting up an turning on a light because dammit the day is almost over
