Tuesday!

How are y'all doing today? Tell me all the things. 

[gault]

I'm working from home today. So far I have had a number of people ask to reschedule their interviews for today because of the snow dump, so that has been my day.

Tonight I'm supposed to go to Harry Potter trivia. Holding out hope that the roads get better by then!

All hell broke loose at work at 5:30 yesterday, which was lovely. There have been some personnel changes at our client, and they are now holding foreign research to a much higher standard, which is great, except that the new person rejected three posters that the old person had approved at an earlier stage of the game, and it will be a big slap in the face to the scientists to reject it at this stage of the game, which is not exactly what we're aiming for with a program focused on international cooperation. Ugh.

Snowmageddon has been fun. Almost got in a head on collision a block from work yesterday. Today, schools are running 2 hours behind and my kiddo just text that his bus is currently stuck in the snow. This stuff is no joke!

The cop wants to take me to lunch for my birthday. I made a joke about him dating and got a "no dates here!" I don't know why the explanation mark makes me go "ugh" but it does! gault saw that shit in action this weekend lol!

Tonight is taco tuesday with my friends and A thinks he can get out early to join us. Hooray. They recently rescued a puppy who is only 10-12 weeks old and so small. I'm excited to hear all about their puppy adventures without having to live them.

I am relieved that life is finally returning to a normal routine again.

Was up at 5am snowblowing the 14 inches of snow we got last night. That shit was heavy.

Stay warm and safe, everyone who's dealing with snow! (I won't mention the high of 65 here today  )

What's the deal with this cop guy doriswe? Is he someone you are dating? I've seen you mention him before but can't figure it out!

I'm working from home again today. I have a bunch of heads down type work that needs to get done and don't want to be in the office where people will just distract me.

So looking forward to This is Us tonight!

We dated, super casually, last spring but there was never a spark. And he was also scared to come near me. Like seriously looked pained anytime he'd try to kiss me. We talked, it never got better. So I broke things off and we stayed friends. Except he's very much in the "so you're saying there's a chance" mindset.

He's legitimately a great guy but just not for me. From what I heard (and what I vaguely remember) on Saturday he was shooting some dirty looks at my guy friends when I was hugging up on them.

doriswe, it's that guy? I was wondering if that was him. Does he realize there's zero chance?

I am at work, it's in the 40's today and we're getting rain. All of our snow is gone. We got slammed at work, so I'm just trying to stay afloat. But I am feeling better!!

I swear I had that talk but it must have not been clear enough. I had friends just suggest "accidently" sending him snaps while I'm on a date with someone else to help clue him in lol

That seems like a strange thing to do. What's the point of keeping him around at all? Why not just be honest and be done with it? Seems like you're sending mixed messages.

Today already feels like a crazy day. I went to the doctor this morning for my annual, got a pap and a skin check, get referred to opthalmology since it's been a while since my eyes were checked.

Of course I can't in to all kinds of stuff at work already. One of my kiddos is so much work even when I'm not meeting with them. Actually, even more outside of session.

They were joking and I would never actually do something like that. We're friends. He's a great guy. I see nothing wrong with maintaining a friendship with him. He, however, remains interested in me and it the feeling isn't mutual.

ETA: We also work together in a round-about way.

Busy day at work. Dealing with a client issue that I’ve been consulting on for the last 4 weeks. They need to let me talk directly to the client so this is finished.

Going to a legal seminar this afternoon so I’m currently enjoying lunch by myself before heading to the event. Looking forward to talking about handbook design for the rest of the day (seriously).

Weather is cold, windy and drizzly...basically miserable.

Good things going on: lots of praise and thank yous for our kickoff drum circle and getting fire and police departments out to join us and talk about kindness with our students. Client recognizing that they needed more support and asking to meet weekly. Another client having two positive weeks in a row. Yesterday was a really good day!!

Oh man! Everyone stay safe who is dealing with crappy weather!
