#ooc

The nightmare was a classic heavy-horror-film, with mom as the victim and me aware of the tropes and set up but couldn't stop it.

a week, yes

The WORST part overall was that as I was screaming "MOMMY!!!" both in the dream and IRL, I was in my bed in both realities; I was in MY BED here in the dream AND as I was waking up and I couldn't figure out what was real for a while.

DH is a TROOPER.

Ugh. 😞

Oh, geez, that's crazy. I'm fairly certain you're awake now, though.

Just if you were wondering.

OH THAT'S WHAT YOU'D LIKE ME TO THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I shit you not, guys, it was all I could do not to call her facility and ask them to check on her and I drifted the next three hours expecting a phone call from my brother, who is on my exception-to-DND list.

Then I went and moved office supplies.

I mean, I guess that's a good re-grounding in reality?

A little banality therapy.

That's how I embraced it.

Certain better than the nightmare nod

And TBH .... oh. I might not have mentioned?

My SuperBossLady got a mild promotion and a move... so she's not MY SuperBossLady anymore. I have a SuperBossGuy (PhD). He's scary smart but cool.

So now I fall under HR, specifically Talent Strategies. I'm still learning what that is.

How to use Talent to take Normandy?

Longbows!

So you're dealing with a job transition. Big stress.

MMm.... as near as I can tell, it's how to use talent strategically. "How to develop and grow the people you have" part of HR vs. Hiring and other stuff.

Hmm...thunderstorm starting, and the lights just flickered. Fair warning that I might vanish.

Believe me, the one does not have (much) to do with the other, BrekkeP. This transition is a good one, and they've made it super easy.

Fair warning!

That's good, then.

Yeah, NewBoss... put it this way; his PhD dissertation was on how remote work is the best solution wherever possible saving money and time and enhancing employee engagement.

Guess who's WFH tomorrow?

Rahne! She's bringing all the kids into her house and freestyling this

Oh that would be AWESOME!!

That would be a hard NO, thanks.

I'm delighted you get to WFH, though, Shady!

In fact he said he doesn't care WHERE I am as long as he can reach me and I get the job done. Period. "I'm going to Dubai for two weeks and I'll still be working." he said.

You've never been afraid of hard work

So I'm ok taking care of the pet's vet visits and getting Thing 2 early from school a few nights a week, you know?

Damn, yeah!

Get ready for Pennsic next summer!!! 😄

pennsic!

You KNOW I want to take the Things. DH might be happy for a week to himself....

Oh! I don't know if you know...kids of ANY age can camp at Tir Thalor now. Clianna is Camp Steward now, so there are a lot more sensible policies.

((chuckle)) I will bear that in mind.

Rinka had to do some hours of office work during Pennsic. It worked out pretty well for her. 🙂

the things are of a reaosnable age, too

They're of hole-diggin' age!!!

So much so!

if they have hustle, they can make bank hauling ice

So true.

My Things have no hustle. They might have negative hustle; they might have hustle-suck.

ahahah

Fair. They can hang out with Aranek. 😉
