I don’t know who the hell Deon Cole is but he can join me in bed later... with or without the plaid.

It’s been another crazy week for me. We found out that our sister program that operates a few counties over is going to be shutting down because of staffing issues (lots of retirees) and we’ll be taking over their clients next month, bringing my caseload from 83 to 107 until my coworker gets back from maternity leave.…

Taupe is not a color the photographs well, they look much better in person.

So, someone had asked me whether the blanket I posted last week was all crochet. All folded up in the picture, the body part is a little difficult to parse. My friend was kind enough to get a pic of it unfurled (censored as per her request) so the details are a little clearer.

I don’t ever, I mean EVER, want to be seen as defending this sack of shit.... but those sort of gloves can be unforgiving in sizing.

So, theres a secret bathroom on my wing at work... it used to serve as a handicap bathroom when the unit was used as a patient area. When they turned it into an office area they never changed the lock BUT the admin and clinical staff were not given the key, were never told about it and just think it’s part of an old…

I voted but my heart wasn’t in it.

The entire blanket is crocheted. The hood and each part of the owl’s face are done in pretty standard single and double crochet done in the round and oval. The beak is a few increases and decreases but super simple.

Lawrence could wear a garbage bag and I’d still be pretty cool with it.

I did... and I’d do it again.

This is grossly specific.

I need more of Daniel next season. Not necessarily with Issa, but yeah... just more. Please. For reasons.

I seriously love that fish so much. Turned out amazing!

I work for the state so bringing in any additional help, even a lateral move for a current employee from a different department is so complicated. Seniority, pay grades, backfilling their position, even something as simple as the shift hours would require a significant change for anyone brought in. I started…

It’s been a week. I’m so overwhelmed at work I just come home at the end of the day, flop on the couch and lay there comatose until about 8:30 when I drag myself to bed and promptly pass out. I’m stressed. The dog is stressed. And I’m stressing out other people.

I love him, but I didn’t appreciate him enough when he was office. Now that things are over, I can see where I went wrong :(

I think we can all agree on two things:

I will be beyond devastated if we don’t see a dinosaur trend.

I have a co-worker who hits me with the “I don’t see color” bit every time anything slightly pertaining to race comes up (he and I are both white). I seem to be the only recipient of this line of conversation from what I can tell and I’m not really sure why. While he says this, and has maybe convinced himself he’s…
