I'm sorry it's been so shitty lately at work mwhip. Is it something with any end in sight? I hope things turn around soon. It's draining to devote 40+ hours every week to something that's chaotic. There might be an end in sight...its hard to say. Spreadsheets I sent to load information were either disregarded to information was changed to meet what our home office wanted it to be, and I'm now stuck fixing it. No one will say they messed it up, its just up to me to fix it. Its bullshit when I know I sent correct data that wasn't used. Suppliers have us on hold because of the changes. It just doesn't end and no one helps, but we are supposed to be a 'united front (if I hear that again, im going to punch someone) even though we clearly arent.

mwhip, ugh. One of my pet peeves is placating slogans BS. I'm sorry you're stuck fixing someone else's mistake. That's frustrating.

mwhip, ah, our boss likes to refer to us as a "family". I would like to emancipate from said family, thanks.

My dad and I had a yelling match over the phone this morning over Trump. I ended it with "at least for now, hes gone and we can move on to better! You're not ruining this day for me!" I had work and school drop offs this morning but tuned in just in time to see both of them take their oaths.

I have been glued to CNN all day. I got some work done, but not much. I cried when Kamala took her oath. It just is such a new day. I feel hopeful for the first time in 4 + years.

Remember about 2 months into the lockdown last year when they kept talking about how clean the air was because no one was going out? I wonder how dirty it is now that me and all the other parents spend all our free time sitting in our cars, waiting for our kids. First it was 35 minutes at the orthodontist, now hockey, later gymnastics. DD has her first competition Sunday. It’s over an hour away and I can’t go in so 4-5 hours in the car for me. I turn my car off but most people seem to have them running.
I told T Biden was taking over as president today. He asked if it took a lot of paperwork for that to happen. I guess he heard bits and pieces of ballot counts and recounts.

I streamed as much of the coverage as I could on WaPo but it was muted more often than not for meetings. I cried early on and got chills later hearing "Madame Vice President".
We have so much work to do to right this ship but at least it feels like an adult is at the helm for the first time in years.

I am on a high. I watched on the TV in out dept at work mostly, but couldn’t be totally present for it all. The next day when I am off on a weekday, I will watch without interruption so I can see all the moments.

Hi ladies!! Long day here. I walked over 6 miles and did 35 flights of stairs. I also biked over 6 miles. I got to get in shape for the bridesmaid dress. It’s sequins and show every bulge. Work is insane. We launch both systems within 30 days and I have to get a higher clearance background check.

Also Boss B who is furloughed found another job. If she officially turns in her two weeks I’m the heir apparent however the big boss J may give it to someone who is already a manager and furloughed. I’m being told if it happens I will at least get an interview. Boss B won’t have to turn in notice until she’s being recalled.

wineallthetime , that's awesome!! I watched Trump fly away earlier and it felt like I could breathe again! I'm so excited! Same. And why the F did they play YMCA after his speech. Did anyone else think that was weird? A day late but Yes, that was so weird. And when he boarded the helicopter from the White House it was Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. Which I found a particularly odd choice due to the accusations by Trump supporters of Biden being part of a ring of pedophiles.

Why was Lady Gaga wearing a huge bird on her chest? Is she up for a role in a new Hunger Games movie? Lol, her outfit was something. I believe that was a dove with an olive branch which is used to symbolize peace in Christianity (I think).
