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.
Ugh, that sucks Laura.
I come to the board with news that has boosted my spirits considerably today: my Mom's 3-month cancer screening this morning passed as clear with no detectable cancer! While I don't hold out much hope that it's a permanent remission given her past history, treatment has at least erased any foothold the cancer had gained in recent months and put it back on a must-regrow-from-individual-cells status.
That is indeed good news, Matt!
Yay, Matt!
Boo, nephew of Laura. Unhelpful.
Today's NYT crossword is pretty clever, in case anyone occasionally partakes (especially Dana, but I think there are others who would appreciate it)
It's the second day of our county workers strike - I happened to see some people getting ready to picket when I stopped for coffee near the courthouse in Vallejo yesterday, otherwise I don't know that I'd have known. I think there might be a fairly large presence over here in Fairfield today, but I have no reason to be in that neighborhood (or leave the house and my reluctance to get dressed today is HIGH). I'm curious how it's going, though. All the news I can find is from yesterday and is mostly about what offices will be closed or have limited services available
That’s great Matt!!
I am really not wanting to do work today. I have done a little. But not much.
Well, fuck. Another major re-org! One loss to my department and it's not me. We'll find out the impact to the rest of the company maybe next week. Sigh.
Department is 13 people now (including the two people who just started this month), five of those are managers, four of the managers are men and three of them are white men. This is a big shift from 2020 when the department was twice as big and the number of white men was about the same but none of them were managers
Desire to actually do work today has plummeted. I was going to save my Thanksgiving pie for tomorrow, but it's in the oven now. I don't think that one will go all souffle on me, but who knows?

Re-re-re-re-org is not happy making, -t.
Today is the heavy muscles, just want to sleep or be horizontal, tiny little dog walk was exhausting portion of this ick. Maybe flu. I will test for Covid tomorrow, but mainly just out of curiosity. I am currently hoping that the sore throat and congestion don't really develop any more than they have. That would be awesome.
Where does one get a souffle like bacon and egg pie? That sounds amazing even with no appetite.
I hear there's a strain of flu that wasn't in the vax going around. Hope whatever it is stays minor, Jen!
The pie is from a Vallejo pie shop, Bula Pies Fiji, which I have fallen in love with. This is my first time trying the bacon and egg pie, hence my surprise, but everything I've had from them has been good: sausage rolls, beef stew pie, lamb pie, pot roast pie, pineapple pie, choconana pie and the free coffee while you wait is excellent. I guess if you have Fijian pie makers around check them out?
If they are bringing ingredients or anyone back to life in their process that is none of my business
Hm, apparently they will ship frozen pies nationwide. That's what I'm having today, frozen pies thawed and baked, so that part definitely works: [link]
