- Today was Marshall’s last day of the 2023-2024 school year! So of course he missed the bus this morning….
- Monday is an optional school day for Livia, but I think she’s going to go for the Flag Day activities. I don’t remember having Flag Day when I was a kid. Was that a thing?
- Yesterday was my annual Boob Squishing. The Boob Squishers left me sitting in the changing room for a very long time, long enough for two of the voices in my head to start squabbling. Voice 1 was like, “It’s been too long. Clearly something is wrong. We must have misunderstood what we were supposed to do after getting changed. They’re waiting for us. We must go find them!” Voice 2 was like, “Relax. They know where we are. When they want us, they’ll come get us.” Voice 2 won, but narrowly. And she was right, of course.
- At work, management is obsessing over things like “time” and “money.” And I get where they’re coming from. I’m a big fan of conserving both of those things. That’s why I’ve been telling them for years some of the ways in which they might go about that. Yet they decided to do nothing until things got bad. Now they’re finally instituting some of the changes for which I and certain coworkers have been begging for years. And they’re also adding some new and totally unsatisfactory changes of their own! I don’t know why I didn’t see that coming. It was the only possible outcome, right? That’s how businesses function.
Editor’s note: previously this post contained the phrase “Book Squishing,” which made no sense. All I can say is that I’m really looking forward to catching up on my sleep this summer.
