Tiny Victories

I told a coworker my salary to combat the capitalist asymmetry (we were discussing how difficult it is to know what is fair when dealing with the company)

Tc - they have not replied

Eta - mutual sharing of information means I can ask for something specific to be done as part of the comp review process that is happening shortly

Virtual Tech Camp with ~100 middle school girls is officially complete (in non-plague years this is an in-person thing)…off to become unconscious for a few hours.

You have earned much unconsciousness if this is what you want. Or whiskey if you prefer. Or both.

I’m having a vodka sofa - because I need to relax. Win!

Someone was incredibly rude in an email to me because they were not getting their way, which made me rage, and then she was forced to apologize to me. I don’t buy that it is sincere and think her senior team made her choke it out (“I’m sorry the tone of my note offended you. After reviewing I see how some cultural differences may have hit differently”). Interesting how when she wasn’t getting her way she had 5 people on the note but the apology had only me and her MOR.

I will continue to sip my drink with no response back.

We call them ginger snaps in my family even though they’re actually a wonderfully soft and chewy cookie.

New Kitten is now getting along with 6 month old kitten! They are playing together!

But the old cat who we thought would have no issues hates the kitten and keeps hissing at her. I hope he chills out soon.

I have had a nap and cider and fancy food that others made (delivery is a wonderful thing) and have now caught up on most of the forum stuff I missed last week. (Mostly…catching up on journals might have looked to an outsider like me scrolling through looking at the occasional pet, meme, and/or garden picture :smiley_cat: )
