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

Hopefully things will relax for you a little bit soon. Getting home that late just ain't good for a person.

Also re: the local news stuff. ?! 'Collectively shut down'? Sounds kind of scary. Is everything okay over there...?

Lights in the trees for the win! My neighbourhood also does this along one specific footpath and it's preeeetty.

Work stuff sounds encouraging?

ACK on the wack local news, if it's what I think it is. Um, luck with the story about the nuclear project if you *do* get shutdown at work?

/eta: and it is. Weirdly first I heard of this wack local news was other folks in the same area mentioning on Twitter how they were prepping for blackout conditions. Despite the wildfire that sort-of-prompted it being international news.
