My boss had her baby! So we sent her some flowers. The kid emerged a giant: Nine pounds, fifteen ounces. THAT’S LIKE THIS BIG. Can’t wait to meet him. In the meantime, I am tasked with keeping my department running. Until October! Last week was a clusterfuck because of scheduling mistakes (mine, naturally) and vacationing co-workers and the feeling that I had tossed myself into some kind of boiling vat of stresswater. But that was…

We’re all assholes.…
“I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do.” — Willa Cather My existential fever broke today, I think, in no small part thanks to a couple of really decent pep talks from my oldest friend and a case of the giggles that spread through the design/art desk like the herp during Spring Break. My theory is that we were so overworked and understaffed tonight…
I don’t even know how to keep up anymore. And they say the ride just keeps spinning faster and faster the longer it goes. I had one of those moments tonight where I let some bit of the news get to me, stop me with a screech, hold my jaw tight in its hands until I paid attention and processed it and it made me feel sick. I read the pilots’ transcript from the Continental…
Donna at work grew these and then started bringing them in by the truckload. They are gorgeous. [Project 365]
