emotional ping-pong

[0dense]

me, having gotten to the point in the year when I commute home in the dark and am very excited if I make it back before 7:30: :|

me on the bus, noticing that the city's put the lights back up in the trees: :D


Also, director and I are planning our door-decorations for the department halloween competition, and also our new hires are finally (finally!) onboarding, so I need to figure out what responsibilities to share with the new folks so that I don't stay as late and can have some time to study too, because I love this job but it is consuming me. Hosted a workshop today though, and got good feedback! so we're doing something right at least. 




..................................literally as I was writing the above I got a ping about a bit of absolutely WACK local news and apparently if we're collectively shut down to the extent that I can't go to work, I'll be spending tomorrow writing a story about a nuclear project under these hills, so uh if we go dark, just find me by my vibes I guess

Good to know about Higginbotham. I started with Serhii Plokhy's "Chernobyl", just because my library happened to have it in, and notwithstanding the unanswered question of whether Fomin was *actually* in a car accident or if he fell from a balcony trying to break back into his apartment, it's a good synthesis of the history to date, as well as a good read.

hey yeah Plokhy! I think that's actually my favorite of the contemporary books I've read on Chernobyl. I have so many sticky notes on the copy I got from the library, I might just get it for myself for Christmas...
