I get worried about the cat being bored in the winter. There’s just not as much that’s fun for him to do. (Not that he’s running marathons in the summer or anything, but looking out the window is more exciting when there’s a bunch of baby skunks out there than when it’s just a frost-covered […]
Big meeting today! (Big, not necessarily important. Always hard to tell with these things.) Good news: It’s not happening in the middle of a snowstorm! (That was 2015.) Neutral news: We are (probably) not going to get free sweatpants this year! (That was 2016 — they’re actually pretty comfy, but were not a popular giveaway […]

Consistently the day I have nothing good to say, and so my brain blanks on saying anything at all. Luckily it turns out […]
It’s review season! (Again!) Every year, my workplace has us all fill out a self-evaluation, which is the starting point for an extremely opaque and generally frustrating process in which you may or may not get a raise. The kerfluffle so far this year is that the schedule for reviews was sent out with a […]
I have a somewhat unfortunate tendency to take a guess at what internet abbreviations mean and then never follow up to verify. (see: my ftw fail) Which is to say, I thought ‘smh’ stood for ‘so much hate.’ (Note: there *does* seem to be some support for this being the case, or at least having […]
I liked it! It has been a long time since I saw a movie in a theater that wasn’t an action movie. I can’t actually remember how long? LONG. But ‘Hidden Figures’ was awesome! Very engaging, lots of like-able characters, good music, didn’t feel too short or too long. Favorite part: That this was a […]
