One of the main reasons I was hired in this job was because of a program I ran at my previous institution that included intensive faculty training sessions. I'm running my first one at my new job tomorrow and I'm petrified.
These are my favorite part of my job but I'm concerned about the political and cultural differences at this new institution. My boss, my subordinates and some other stakeholders are attending (my invitation) which is racking up my nerves. Also one of the faculty that is attending is the only faculty member who has ever made me cry at work (not in front of her).
I will get an early night, but in the mean time, I'm getting a tequila!
“With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent,”
Don't we sort of work for the same people? It's not the best possible trip, but it's one nonetheless and I've been wanting to forever! You probably could come, lol.
My DH sort of works for your people. I am just in a moving mood lately!
I was joking earlier that we should probably stop buying houses and start just renting wherever we move. I'm making a habit of getting the itch to go somewhere else every few years.
I don't know why I do stuff like this, but sometimes, I put leftovers in the refrigerator even when I know we're not going to eat them. Like, I don't want to be wasteful and just throw the food away, but it's really stupid since I just put the food in containers, wait a couple days, then throw it up. So I end up not just trashing the food but also wasting water to wash things that never had to be used in the first place.

Today was so long.
I do this too. Chances are slim that I'll actually eat the leftovers, but it feels wasteful to just trash it.
H had his first "official meeting" for his new job tonight. Two of the elected officials were wearing T-shirts and one was wearing a sweatshirt for the local university. And here I was teasing H about not ironing his button up shirts...
I'm doing some reading for how to lead the organization that hired me last week. I'm so excited! Hopefully I can rein it in a bit though and not come on too strong/ bossy. I will also need to fight my tendency to take on all of the tasks rather then letting volunteers handle things.
I just got my second pair of Kut from the Kloth jeans. I love them!! They're so comfortable and flattering. They're not from the Kardashians are they? Because, if loving them is wrong, I don't want to be right.

I love the pants, too, but I've never even thought about them being associated with the Kardashians. I don't want to know, because if they are, I might have to stop buying them.
