Thank you. I really appreciate it!

Way more yays for your PhD! And also a mutual yay for naps :)

I finished grad school. I officially have a Master of Arts in Psychology.

 I got assigned another account, which considering it technically should be assigned to someone higher up in management than me, I am choosing to interpret as one step closer to a promotion that I thiiiink I might get after my next round of reviews. I also had some really successful client meetings this week!

I’m a teacher and I went on strike this week. I feel powerful. I feel right. My kids deserve better and it feels good to be holding  shitty people accountable for their shitty behavior. I’m marching. I’m canvassing. I took on a leadership position in my school to rally all of us. I scored a meeting with the…

I helped move 50 cubic ft of terrible soil out of the dead patch in my backyard so that we can plant a ton of new flowers tomorrow. Fingers crossed that the squirrels don’t dig all of them up!

This week is the biggest tradeshow of the year for us, and I was anxious for weeks about the set-up but it went so smoothly and we fucking killed it. Makes me feel like, after three years, I’m actually worth my salary.

I received a check that will take me to a Big Union Thing that I was elected to. I’m going to another state and I’M GOING TO PAISLEY PARK YOU GUYS.

She is gone!!!

Good evening Jezzies - Craft Thread!

Has anyone seen Ghost Stories? It’s playing at the theater down the street from me, but not sure if it’s worth spending a couple hours watching on my Sunday off.

I have decided after much debate that I am going to a) get a tattoo and b) get my ears pierced. I’ve been wanting to do the later for years and years and just never figured a good time to do it, since I’m 30+ and whatever. But if I’m going to get a tattoo (something to remind me of my late husband, but also to bring…

Happy saturday everyone! What are some things that you are excited about doing (big or small) this summer? I’m moving from Vancouver, BC to Edinburgh for grad school in august. Simultaneously thrilled about the prospect of discovering a new city/country and pursuing my new degree and terrified/overwhelmed about all of…

I’ll let everyone start up my favorite threads to follow but I just want to wish everyone a wonderful Saturday and I hope y’all find a way to finish the weekend in style! I’m just sitting here sweating bullets hoping my San Jose Sharks can pull off a win, I hope everyone’s favorite sports team wins tonight!

I’m actually around for SNS!

I’m going to be in Locus Magazine, repping my museum at a local convention. One of the curators told me earlier this week. And, today, the Education Director asked me to stage a bunch of “tour guide” photos in our newest exhibit so I’m basically the volunteer face of the museum this month.

I made the Japanese stewed beef recipe from the Takeout site and it came out great!

This is great news, and a great idea! Well done!

Oh Purple Prince was tough! I watched him fade away, with his momma’s paws on him :(. So glad all the other kittens are doing so well now! I’ll probably be up watching Chloe as long as it takes...

It is such a long journey. Around once per year, I will have a friend or acquaintance from the private-side call me, “Soooooo, I’ve been thinking that I might like to go into teaching.” It always comes with the insinuation that it is an easy thing to do. My typical response, “Okay. So you will take approximately a 50%…
