"A Wizard delivers food precisely when he means to."
Apparently so. I hope it was good. I thought I was hallucinating.
That's why God invented scratch biscuits.

Yeah, i was trying to avoid the extra work
Frozen pie crust is a house staple. I replace it the same way I replace milk and tortillas.
TMW you're woken up at some ungodly hour because the cat is sitting on your chest and staring at you from about an inch away, because it's feeding time, dammit!

TMW when you realise your supervisors should have worked in espionage.
Meeting: there is no x protocol currently, as it is being revised, so no one can do x.
Other site: "Please do y instead of x." x would require our site to have an x protocol, so that's consistent.
Me to supervisor, since I'm scheduled to do x, not y: "Do we, or do we not have an x protocol?" No answer.
Leader, five minutes before I'm about to do x with the old protocol (I'm literally retrieving the key from her office): "Oh, we completed the new x protocol last week and didn't tell anyone. Here it is."
Me to leader: "That's wonderful. I suppose the other site can stop asking us to do y instead of x."
Leader: "What do you mean?."
"They've been requesting we do y for the past month."
"But, that doesn't make any sense. Why would they request that? You could always just do x."
"Well I figured they were asking us for y since we didn't have an active x protocol."
"But we do have an x protocol."
I forward her one email, which was sent to all staff from the other site multiple times, as an example of a y request. The y request requires additional staff, and is subject to the other site's approval, so it's a pretty big deal. Her reply? "Well, as you know, you can just do x."
Maybe tell the other site that, instead of me? I could have went full receipt mode, sending her meeting minutes and all that etc... but there's just no point. They are all trying their best, of course. No hate.

When management's best is unbelievably bad, people affected by the fallout grow jaded and supervisors wonder why.That moment when you realize you have to put down a good book to dress and go out into the world to interact with people you don't particularly want to deal with...

That's the nice thing about the Forum. You don't have to dress up.

Not dressing up is one of the things I appreciate about doing Zoom programs. As long as my hair is combed and I'm wearing a respectable top, who's gonna know if I'm wearing jammie pants and have bare feet?
That moment when you realize the long scheduled Zoom presentation is ten days away, and you still need to finish the script.
Or even dress.

Or have skin. (It's out drying today).

Yeah, but you don't have to dress at all at the Forum. Look! I'm not wearing pants!
