Welp, my employee who has decided, in a move that has confused and baffled several of us, that I am their enemy has officially requested a transfer. I hope they find what they need. They’re creating a pretty toxic work environment on their way out and I’d like to stop the bleeding.

I woke up feeling so incredibly burnt out today. I’m not exactly sure what to do about it. If I took the day off I’d probably just mope and make things worse. It’s weird. I’m usually very upbeat, but this endless dark and fog is getting to me.

I love Reddit food posts about people mysteriously getting too much of some ingredient or other and needing recipes to use it up. I just saw one where someone “recently came into five lbs of peeled garlic” as though it were bequeathed to them. I like to think it was. It makes me want to rewrite my will to leave people large amounts of perishable goods.

It’s pretty funny to me now how much I made my life difficult by procrastinating so much as an undergrad.

Waiting til the last minute is not a good practice if you want your work to be well received.

So I finally watched The Substance. It wasn’t bad, but I really expected a deeper plot after all of the rave reviews. I’m a little confused as to what the fuss was about. The acting was great, but the storyline was thin. There was so much to play with philosophically. So much that could have been done, even without getting too moralizing. Maybe I just don’t have a thing for body horror?
Visually stunning, but all in all it was fine. #TheSubstance
