domarzione* This honestly feels like the end of a work week in a way the last several have not. Zoom meetings I had to set an alarm for! Director micromanaging a project my own supervisor can't be arsed to bother with and asked my old supervisor if I wanted to do! (Why is he lurking on the document? Why is he PM-ing me about changes?) Gruntwork project "you are totally the best person for" not because it requires my advanced skills, but because the person who should have done it is an arrogant bint who can't be trusted not to eff it up! Being lied to by upper management about our safety! TGIF.
* I know the miserable NYC spring is undoubtedly helping things, that when it's 49 and drizzling nobody's going out, but can we just have one week of normal temperatures, please? I haven't been out of the apartment since Tuesday apart from a mission to Walgreens and I'm going bananas. The cats want open windows. I want open windows. I want to stop nursemaiding the humidifier filter because the heat is off and I can put it away until the fall.
* I go to graduate school remotely and said school is in Northern California and there is such a disconnect right now between what the school considers important messaging and what my daily life does that it gives me whiplash.
* Positive things: I made a pretty darned good dairy-free lemon tart and a kickass Aviation cocktail with my own luxardo fruit. I am continuing to write Qui Habitat and enjoy myself. Imperfect Foods delivered essentially twice what I ordered and I was able to give my elderly cousin several pounds of produce when all she'd asked me to order was salmon and pears. (Side note: so far I am totally in love with IF, which appeals to both my 'reduce food waste' ethos and 'I want to try all of the foods' magpie tendencies without being either a budget-buster or a ballbuster. Looking at you, Misfits Market.) I donated to a GoFundMe that is set up by Asians in America looking to feed the first responders and staff at besieged local hospitals here in Queens.
