Oct. 6th, 2023 10:39 pm* I decided the last few days, that everyone else's journals were more interesting than mine - or whatever I had to jot down - so I responded to theirs instead. It's also less time-consuming.
* My poor little novel (actually not so little) has been put on hold again due to work stress. Work has taken on a life of it's own. It is the fourth quarter, and the project team procrastinated per usual, and didn't get anything to us to procure until well the least few months.
Add to all this? Technology has decided to go wonky.
( fun with technology )
* I've added people who ban books to my extremely long list of folks that I truly wish would win Darwin Awards before the end of the year. Doesn't have to be complicated. I'm so tired of the whiny people, who are upset that they lost the culture wars. Yes, you lost, deal with it, move on. Stop being a hateful idiot. Or the Universe will eventually smite you. (Read somewhere recently that the Universe didn't like being named constantly as at fault, or causing vengeance. Felt humanity should shoulder most of the blame on this one.)
* Have a 3 day weekend - union dictated. Not everyone has one, but most of my floor does. While renamed Indigenous Peoples Day - it's still considered Columbus Day by my Italian-Irish Union. They'd have tried to get St. Patrick's Day off if they could get away with it - but clearly the Ialians had more sway in that department. Part of me is happy, part of me - is thinking about all of the work I need to do. In the past, I took Friday off as a Personal Day - giving myself a four day weekend. But this Friday had two meetings I had to host on MS Teams, and a Training Session on Zoom.
[This is one of the many reasons I don't do that in my personal life.]
I need a breather, before a difficult work week - they are beginning to feel like running marathons, and visiting mother (which is next weekend).
