Today I told my boss that if my department was going full time remote I needed to know what teams at (my place of employment) were going back to the office, because I needed to know what opportunities there would be for me before I decided to leave the company. That was in an email. Within an hour she was pinging me telling me the unofficial news of what my department plans to do and assuring me it wouldn't be full time remote. and yadda, yadda I mean, like, I was serious. I don't think she wants to lose me. But what I know for sure is I need to be HEARD AS HELL if management is even considering this decision. It's one thing if management makes a bad decision it's another thing if they make it under advisement from people who think it's a decision that sucks. That stinks for your team. I think it's entirely reasonable for you to feel bad about possibly leaving your job and especially leaving your boss in a hard spot. Sometimes people get handed a shit stick, and it sucks. It sounds like you tried to raise a flag on the play a few times. And it sounds like there were a few other flags that maybe your manager could've twigged to -- the overtime, the time off. We actually have a whole training for managers that they have to take every year about recognizing exhaustion. It's going to be a FUN KIND OF STRESS when you move for sure!! It won't even be stress. It's going to be hella exciting! When I picked up and moved multiple states to somewhere in quarantine where I couldn't even try to get to know anyone, I really thought there was going to be a lot more crying in my apartment alone...at night or in the rain or something....like maybe weekly...about how sad and alone i was....I thought there would be good times but i thought there would be a lot of that first also. Turns out no. There ain't been NONE OF THAT ABOVE BOOOLLL shit. Life is scary. Risk it! It's going to pay out so much for you in the end. The next great adventure -- i'll drink to that.
Tattoo today. Back later with evidence
Keto diet is about extremely limiting carbohydrates so that the body switches to an alternative form of energy, ketones. I would think this would be mean we should practice carb limiting — not necessarily all out fasting — but Mk has previously come out in favor of fasting and would be interested to hear his take.
12 hours in I’m ok. Will report back
Ugh but my street lamps will miss me
I did it hubski, I posted this thread and then the very next day I figured out how to make basic t-shirts finally WERK. I can only do one color basically, but it turns out I have ALL the colors in a secret stash I forgot about. You can check them out at my (shop)[http://www.broganbooks.com] and if I don't have your size/color preference, you can fill out a pre-order form (here)[https://forms.gle/hJz16CTUfEzJmxr4A]. These updates must be good luck. 
I decided I’m gonna do it. I’m almost two full training cycles out from the first half and I figure, I’ll start on novice 2 week 3, run it through and see how it goes. Depending on how it feels I’ll either run nov2 again or I’ll look at the intermediate program. I feel I’m a bit beyond the first weeks of nov2 (current long run 9 miles) but also I just pushed myself a bit too hard on a 13 day run streak so maybe I need to take it easy on myself, not hard, and avoid injury. If I’m hurt I won’t be running any halfs let alone finishing them!
Also my Etsy shop is actually doing phenomenally now that I think about it.
Mark Maron, who is a comedian, is also listed as a main source for some conclusions in this article. It’s worth noting
It was 0% a date
Oh I guess I never posted. I’ve been rereading the Hobbit. Lord what a classic. So completely good end to end. My parents are making me slowly clear the last of my possessions out, and the box of books I took home with me last visit is a bona ride treasure trove - 50% Tolkien, 50% king. I haven’t decided if I will plugs into LOTR immediately after finishing the Hobbit, but it’s a good chance. I’ve also been intending to reread the Kahnemann. “Thinking, Fast and Slow.” I think about some of what I read there a fair bit still, and I probably finished it over a year ago I think.
Happy Thursday!
I’ll be there a bit later in the evening (7/8 pm)!
This is an incredibly well done joke tbqh
I’ll be there around 6!
I think you can do a galette with a hand formed crust. Or you can use most round slim objects as makeshift rolling pins. A pint glass might be the shortest option that would work. (It wouldn't be my first choice if I was kitchen-macguyvering, but I bet it could do.) A mason jar or other, preferably smooth sided glass jar should work just fine I'd think. A full tallboy (or Monster can) might be just the trick. Any tall slim 16oz canned beverage, so long as the beverage is still in it when you try to use it to roll out your dough. Just some punk rock baking thoughts ;) Did you make a pie? How'd you manage? Share pics.
I am thankful for all of you.
Ugh. I wish my mom could see outside of our family situation enough to realize that we should cancel our holidays. My brother has already cancelled his Christmas trip. As of right now I am still traveling to meet them next week. My family situation right now a great case example of a situation where the public guidance directly contradicts the private family’s desires; with a dying grandmother you can understand why everyone feels there are very poignant compelling reasons to gather, however it’s also very clear that this is exactly what they’re saying people shouldn’t do. I will not be surprised if things get worse by next week and travel bans begin to go up. I don’t know. I am retaining my right to reconsider my decision at any point in time up until I leave. I know how much it will mean to my mother if I am there. She needs all the support she can get right now. I have a lot of misgivings.
Mostly leave me alone, I’m terrible.
Happy Hubday!
hey i really like my mazda
To be honest, there was a shooting in my apartment complex this past weekend and so I've been blissfully out of the loop on national news for like half of the time the protests and riots have been happening. No worry: I'm perfectly ok and wasn't involved in the scene (beyond living next door and being a witness). According to the newspapers, it's actually almost a textbook case of effective gun use for self- and others'- defense. It's also a rather horrific story of road rage and white male privilege/violence that, sadly, began w/an aggressive group of 3 dudes (with one, young, female 'accomplice' or hanger-on) targeting a girl who looked like she was vulnerable and alone and had committed that heinous crime of pissing aggressive white men off. I decided NOT to share any articles because, well, they're just gonna make you feel horrific and they identify specifically almost exactly where I currently live. I am training for a half-marathon in Sept. My goal is to run 102.5 miles this month. This path is a great diversion of some of my energy. I breadwatch'd a little more -- some very delicious pizza, some naan. I have begun apartment complex short-listing and will go to VA for "housing scouting mission" late June. It is exciting and nice to have things to look forward to...bonus, we are now in the final 3 months of our lease so we can start to play the game of, "That? Does it really bother you? How much does it bother you -- less than 3 months' worth? OK then, just ignore that then." I like that game, it's a fun one.

OK, if no one else is gonna say it, then I will...sounds like you just named 3 mars rovers. ;)
My account will be 10 years old this august!
My resting heart rate is measurably elevated from mid-Feb and won’t go down to the rates I was hitting back then regardless of the health hacks I try. I’m forced to admit we just might be living in a more stressful world.
I first read about this on r/running, of all places
dude she went to basically a fucking party last night her and her friends are sticking to the line of "as long as you go to gatherings of 10 or fewer people it's completely ok"(disregarding 6" of distance of course because if you're in a car with someone else you're not 6" apart and if you're sitting on a couch at someone else's random house you're not 6" apart and if you're making out with your boyfriend at the house he lives in with his mom YOU'RE NOT SIX FEET APART) and "your social circle can be as large as you want so long as you stick to the 10 or under rule for single gatherings" and she's going to freaking DRUG DEALERS houses of all places (yes i know, very famous for their cleanliness too right?) and "hanging out" and getting drunk and oh OF COURSE leaving the house to stay with her boyfriend every other night is a LIFE ESSENTIAL SERVICE
she look-a betta dis time
I can make stickers. It's not a fluke, I can consistently and efficiently turn out complete, kiss-cut sticker sheets. It took about 18 months. So now I'm realizing this and I'm cleaning up old material and using my new very baby digital art skills and churning out sticker sheets. I love them alllll
My work is just all like OMG how can we connect? and I'm like "I don't understand how the people around me are still using social media" and pretty consistently angry (at least i'm not pretty constantly angry) and uninterested in absolutely anything except COVID 19, oh and myself. And my now-1-income household. it's cool that y'all, my coworkers, want to do virtual yoga together as a class, but I didn't want to even before all this crap struck, I certainly as hell do not want to do it now. I'm like "the world is ending and i'm calling off work to take some psychadelics because the weather is nice, eff it all." i really don't know how to communicate exactly where i'm at. but like, fuck all sorts of social posturing at this point in time. who even can be interested in it
