Our national positivity rate is over 40%. Our hospital numbers have doubled in the last week. Cases are rocketing. And less than 1/3 of the eligible population is boosted.
I hate everything I read included the part I didn’t quite 😫
Thank you! This is the room that made me buy the house. When we found out how rotten it was, I wanted to cry. It really hasn’t changed too much, but knowing it’s going to stay together another 50 years is such a relief.

I was reading a letter from Pete Buttigieg to AT&T and Verizon today and I have been chuckling because he signed off with, "Yours, Pete Buttigieg."
Not Yours Respectfully or Yours Sincerely or anything business-y like that, just Yours, Pete Buttigieg. I don't think I've seen that used in official correspondence like that.
I thought about starting a new thread for this. But it's really just my own pointless drivel so I'm sticking it here.
I feel sorry for Melania. Yes, she has said and done horrible, racist, hateful things. But I wonder how much agency she truly had over the direction of her life. She's trending on Twitter today because she posted about selling some accessories. This led someone named Rick Wilson to comment that she's not far from starting an Only Fans account.
It all feels icky and sad.
I'm not having a "leave Brittney alone" moment. Melania deserves everything coming to her.
But I feel like a lot of life would be very different if not for the fucking patriarchy and misogynistic cultural norms.
...I really need to go back to work. I've clearly got way too much time on my hands.

Are there any exceptions due to health?
Nope, not at the moment.
Some agencies are being flexible but not mine. And the really annoying thing is that we met or exceeded all of our targets for last year while working from home 80% of the time!

I realized how much I'm dreading taking down the holiday decor because of how much I like the light with it getting dark so early. I need to setup more ambiance lights in the house, apparently.

Same. I was thinking of getting a small fake tree (like eucalyptus or something) and winding white twinkle lights through it to put the the corner of my living room.
I haven’t gone in there yet. I know I’ll be jealous. We didn’t buy this house with the expectation to ever have 2 adults WFH full time. There is no space for it. Housing here has gone insane (as everywhere I guess) so getting more space isn’t happening. I will be working from a corner of our dining room forever and it sucks.
Yeah, same (re: buying our house and never having the 2 adults WFH expectation).
I’m curious to see how the housing market/housing will change long term with work from home. I know a lot of people have talked about how this may lead to the death of the open floor plan, lol. (I have a partially open floor plan, so I’m allowed to make fun of it 😉).
We ended up knocking out a (internal) wall in our basement and converting some unfinished and finished space into a new room so that we would have two offices. We're in about 2200sf and have 4 bedrooms. DH and I were sharing an office for the first year of the pandemic and finally got to a point where it was just unsustainable. It was an expensive update, but far cheaper than selling and buying something bigger (we also didn't want more space, just another private area).

I have a strand of (I don't remember what they are called in the US) fairy lights around a mirror in my living room that I never remove. When I need that small bit of ambient light, I turn them on. It feels good.
Well, who cares about the rage room team outing, I won't be on that team for long! Just got a verbal offer for the (internal) position I interviewed for earlier this week. Go, Me!
It will be a change of role, as well as an increase in responsibility. And a nice pay bump. Also has better work from home capabilities, which is good and bad... (now I need to carve out a space for a proper home office that wasn't in the plans as of a month ago... it is totally doable, just will take some thinking of how best to do it...)

This is why I put all of my window candles out when we change the clocks in November, and keep them out until we change the clocks again in March. They’re more like winter candles than Christmas candles I guess.
I was sad to take down the tree though for this reason, dried and crunchy as it was. The silver lining is that my living room always feels like it doubled in size after the tree comes down.

Good start to the weekend!
I’m so thrilled to see this news!!!! Congratulations!!!

When I first started at my current job 9 1/2 years ago, it was my first role in this industry. I didn't realize how terrible my boss was until she left and we got an interim person. Now the new full-time person is here and she's great. Anyway, my title has been really stupid. The role is mostly made up and doesn't exist in peer institutions so it was just a brainstorm of my first boss. I hated it and asked for a change a few years ago to a title that made sense, had documentation from other institutions. She even read the job description and said, "Did you write this? This is exactly what you do." But denied the title change in an email that is so condescending I can't bear to reread it. I should have quit then (along with 100 other times), but didn't.
Anyway, long winded story to report that last week, my new boss on her own said she was reading a Harvard Business Review article about roles and figured out what she thought my title should be. And it was the one I asked for years ago.
I thought about starting a new thread for this. But it's really just my own pointless drivel so I'm sticking it here.

Yeah, the Only Fans comment is gross.
But, so is Melania and this auction. She’s not just selling random accessories. It’s a bunch of stuff she wore while meeting with world leaders. She calls it the “Head of State Collection”. It appears that she’s just cleaning her closet for profit - the press release doesn’t mention about the proceeds going to charity or anything.
Trying to profit, yet again, off the presidency. She’s trash just like her loser husband.
