Jesus, ND, that sounds beyond stressful.
That would be an accurate assessment. So of course on top of this my mental health drug cocktail has dropped quite a bit in its efficacy, which means I'm working to get that adjusted on top of all of this.
I just...
I'm sorry that so much stress is piling on top of the stress, ND. May things turn around soon.
Mom’s thumb is not fractured, hooray!
Woot! That is good news.
Timelies all!
Congrats Hec and Emmet!
I had a bit of congestion over the weekend, which moved into my ears Sunday and hasn't gone away yet. Mostly it is in the left ear, which feels clogged. Bleah.
Has anyone heard from EpicTangent? I sent her an email two weeks ago, and a text a couple days ago, but haven't heard back at all.
I just checked her Facebook and I don't see any new since then end of July.
Today we celebrate the birth of Trudy Booth! I hope your day is full of shenanigans and joy, and that this year brings you all you hope for and more.
I sent Epic an email too.
Came here to wish Trudy a Super Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Trudy!
Hello Buffistas! I've been away from this space but y'all are generally in my thoughts (esp the ones I see on Bluesky, which is easier to keep up with on my phone).
I never go through 9/11 without thinking about how much I appreciate this community and how y'all helped get through that day together.
In other news, work is a lot. I'm hiring and it's difficult because (surprise!) the DogeBoys didn't make it better. It's a lot more work for the candidates without making it easier for the hiring officials. HR keeps cutting qualified candidates for nonsense reasons or no reason at all. The shocking thing is that people DO still want to work for the fed, despite everything.
Today's my day off and I'm spending 3 hours in interviews anyway.
And now I must away because the dog is DESPERATE to go for a walk. Congratulations to Hec and Emmett, and I'm sorry to hear about Bridget.

Skipped messsges.
Echoing Consuela.
Thinking of you all and those no longer here.
