and at my own desk?

a colleague in another office with whom I'm trying to coordinate a difficult thing is kind and funny and gracious.

for that I am very very grateful

from one friend's workplace

Making ‘drinking at your desk’ less pathetic since right fucking now.

someone on facebook posted: BEACH

I refrain from posting : WORK

going to an event that brings together young people, their parents and caregivers and tuition generators with departments, representatives, pens, pencils, flyers, information, stress balls and hard candy.

trying to see this as through the eyes of someone for whom this moment is the culmination of many hopes and much hard work.

beginning again

young people are starting to do the work that they do with us.

rain

good

trying to go all zen on my own ass

trying, really to find balance. maintain balance.

wash the balance, dry the balance, turn the balance over.

letting go

also

please don't hand me my ass

week
after
week

what if

someone simply said thank you

and meant it.

really

gets real

a lot to do
a lot

finite number of hands
finite number of minutes in the day

finite number of resources

day by

small steps. triggered. two (or more) choices. fight, flight.
or deeply breathing.

resistance is futile; joining the collective is also difficult in ways I could never have foreseen four months ago (already).

opportunities

challenges

hmm

I was asked.

and I did.

I just did the thing.

how it goes down

one woman's workplace

doing

working with students. going to meetings. starting to do the things we actually do here.
a start.
some/thing [s] positive

hard for the money

a friday: pay day; but not for everyone

the following thursday: we have your check.

the next morning: "it's your lucky day!" (presents envelope)

[note: new salary year; 3% merit increase granted, effective this pay period]

the lucky-day, week-late check? $220 short of pre-increase net.

# wtf

I wonder.
