Sad day at work what with the death and all. She really was kind of the office cheerleader. Even working from home, the meetings feel different already. Even the bosses were crying.

That's so tough. Sorry, Burt.

[BurtReynolds]

It's incredible how much work you can get out of if you just schedule enough meetings and don't volunteer to do anything.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

We had our Holiday Work Social tonight. Yes, those three words don’t necessarily go together and it was a bit early but it was actually not that bad at all.

we have our office christmas party first week of december and they always put on a good show for us.

we also have our group dinner the week after. between thanksgiving and christmas i think we have a total of 15 working days. it is a pretty nice gig

[Peeps]

the year has flown by.


now all of a sudden it is crawling at a snails pace until our year end review

[BurtReynolds]

life hack: Don't take off work around the holidays. Most of your co-workers and bosses will take days off around that time, so you can just slack off and not do shit while getting paid for it. Then after the holidays when everyone is back and being annoying and expecting you to work, go on vacation.

[wease]

You’re just now figuring this out? Kinda surprising.

[BurtReynolds]

no I've known this for years. Only now am I willing to share my wisdom with you.

I need a new fucking job, this is terrible

I ran into the woman I dated between ages 18 to 26 a few months ago. She's like the assistant director of whatever the fuck office now and said she wanted to use that power to give people she knows jobs. Instead of the bums they hire now because they happen to know the right people. She apparently wants to hire the bums she knows.

Should I text her and ask her to give me a job? Bear in mind she is married now and I am probably still in love with her
