Every year I say I’m finding a new job before next year’s High Holidays but this might actually be the one. Compensation issues, but also we’ll be implementing a new bldg entry system and already planning to call it a security upgrade when it’s actually just a new way of capturing data. So gross.
This is surprisingly difficult! Does anyone know a specific place where I can find pronoun stickers you can put on nametags?
Was b on the phone with both my parents way way too long tonight. I need a good transitional activity now, like taking a hot shower or cleaning my house.
Got too hot inside so I went out and found the full moon coming in and out from behind some fast moving clouds. Really pretty. Would have stayed out longer but there were a lot of bats flying around unusually close by and I do not want a rabies shot.
Once again wishing for a late night pie place.
I’m sitting at a place where the tables are placed in such a way that you are always in someone else’s line of site. Weirdly uncanny.
He will always be Doctor Anton Sevarius to me. 💙
Nobody: … Me: This entire book on soft pastel artwork is free for download from the Metropolitan Museum of Art www.metmuseum.org/met-publicat...

I did some art, followed by a workable fixative mishap. Apparently one needs to use a fresh can. 😬
Today I went to a cafe with my textbook and tried to get a handle on what I need to learn ahead of next semester. Got a new appreciation for the book, which is starter level but organized and has unbelievable verb charts in the back.
Why can I not read fic anymore? What is my brain waiting for?
I miss when we used to have radio stations that would play the real old time stuff. Big band, Sinatra, Como, Fitzgerald, a little older Broadway. I know it’s on streaming but I miss the signal getting kinda lost with static. Listened to those stations all through my teens.
There is work to do but none of it super urgent, which is putting me back in the mind of going to the park and reading.
What if instead of going to work I went to a park and read a book?
With 100° temps a new norm, Republicans are trying to stop all federal heat safety protection regs, now or in the future. HR 6213 prohibits OSHA from creating or enforcing ANY national heat safety standard. We MUST stop it! act.seiu.org/a/fedheatreg... 2/ #WeFeedYou
The email newsletter problem is still happening. I copied one message over to the legacy email and sent it out looking very rough. Listening to Chappell Roan on repeat on an otherwise quiet day.
There is a woman in this cafe working through a giant package of dried seaweed she didn’t buy here, one big mouth crunch at a time and I moved seats but still can hear her. Misophonia is the worst thing ever, but she is second worst.
I used InDesign to lay out a book way too many years ago. Today I laid out a brochure and it ate my body (and temper) whole. I knew I needed a brushup on Photoshop, but holy moly, I need to take a class on ID.
Trans people are real and beautiful and also really beautiful

Well, my sister came and went in a day and a half. Now off on a road trip with her friends. I worry about her a little. Like she’s focused on travel and social media, no long range planning. We had a good time at least. Now I have to go to work. Here are some toe beans in case you’re low on them.
Why is it so humid? I still have chores to do but moving is not comfortable.
I’ve been listening to Yale courses to go to sleep and then dreaming of arguing with an unseen person who just. won’t. shut. up. Possibly I need to turn on the sleep timer.
I bit the bullet and vacuumed the house right after work! My sister is visiting for a couple of days tomorrow night, which gave me extra motivation.
