Back to the office after a week and a half of WFH. I kinda miss my coworkers so I'm not mad about it.

Feeling better. Oddly excited for work. Happy I have meals planned for the week and have to do minimal shopping, plus tomorrow is pay day and Thursday we’re getting the site inspection done for our solar panels.

I had to eat emotional support nachos for dinner last night. the lady who starved the horses hired the same attorney as Rand Hooper, George Huguley, and the DC sniper. Hope Goochland animal control is doing a great job and their stuff holds up in court but…

I woke up at 3 am remembering I had a BIG paper worth 10% of my final grade due for one of my classes at 8:30. I managed to power through it and get the whole thing done, but now none of the campus printers are working. FML.

Didn't sleep at all. Taking doggy to her cancer screening today. 😭 Then I have to pretend to work. I've been working on my deep breathing techniques but mostly I just want to kick things and flip around my hair yelling "PONYTAIL!" in an aggressive manner.

I am so ready for spring. I really want to get busy gardening. Have noticed the smallest signs of a few re-emerging perennials in the flower garden and I’m excited. Plus! My hellebores FINALLY bloomed.

I have a day full of meetings and all the paperwork, but at least we're interviewing more folks today. I love that the Great Resignation is finally causing wages to rise and allowing my former coworkers to make more money no matter where, but the hiring process sucks balls.

No, malvo is who he represented, who is in the process of resentencing. I read up on him and he seems well respected in the field but I already have serious concerns about Goochland animal control’s ability to get it together, so I sure hope they aren’t bringing a knife to a gun fight https://richmond.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/horse-owners-say-they-raised-red-flags-with-goochland-animal-control-years-ago/article_73a4bd44-b22b-11ed-b8a0-cfd1140f96db.html

Treated myself to a coffee this morning since I’ll likely be focused on the same task all day, like yesterday. I’m just over a month into the new job and despite the workload, I’m still happy about it!

I’m having major body dysmorphia this week and it’s giving me a huge spike of anxiety every morning when figuring out what to wear. I just want to curl up on the couch and not have to think about my appearance.

When I decided to take the Maymont job over the job I held at VMFA, VMFA's offer to get me to stay, since they couldn't match the salary at Maymont, was to grant me a 4-day work week. Had I known then what I know now about Maymont's lack of ethics, I'd have stayed at VMFA.

Oh... Well, if it'll make you feel any better I had a classmate who interned for that guy during the Malvo trial. She told me some things about that case that the judge didn't allow for public consumption that changed my mind about him.

Fingers crossed that Goochland will get their act together under public scrutiny.

Impostor Syndrome had me strangled this morning. I was asked to find a judicial Order from 1954, and working from home, I couldn't find it in any of the legal databases. I went on a hunt when I got to the office this morning and was successful!

Now to settle in and wait for the next thing that will make me immediately think (baselessly) "well thats it, they're going to fire me for sure."

Feeling down. Slept poorly. Relationship issues with the oldest kid (who is an adult) and the youngest (elementary). Belly hurts. Whine, whine, and then hopefully a beer. I may need a nice walk with good music later today per the advice from u/stickynohte.

My senior cat sneezed in my face this morning so that was a lovely wake up call. But she’s going to be 15 this year so as long as she’s still here, I will deal with it.

What is Get Tight Lounge like? Would it be amenable on a Saturday night to a mid-30s couple who just want to drink a few cocktails and listen to music? There’s a show there Mar. 4 that looks good but I don’t want to burn our one babysitting night of the month if it’s gonna be packed to the brim with college kids partying.

The massive pile of wood chips from ChipDrop is mocking me this morning so that’s what I’m tackling today.

I’ve also been working on befriending a family of crows that live on my property. Today is the first day they came down to feed with me standing nearby. 🖤

It's been twenty years so I honestly don't remember any details. It was something to the effect of they wanted to present evidence showing how deeply Malvo had been manipulated, but they couldn't. I remember doing a 180 once she explained a few things because I really respected her and her opinion. She wasn't a random bleeding heart.

I used to be an extension agent in goochland and our office got calls about starving horses all the time bc animal control wouldn't do anything. We didn't have regulatory power and even reaching out to VDACS & our land grant universities for guidance was unhelpful. Too many people in power are afraid of the folks with $$ in Goochland. So glad to be done with that job

Some people at my org are pushing for a 4 day work week. People keep coming back with the offer of 4 10s. That is NOT a 4 day work week, that's just a compressed 5 day work week.

This country is so resistant to improving our own lives, it's ridiculous.

It used to drive me crazy as well. I understand completely.

Extension admin always instructed us to not talk to media but you might be able to get some info off the record from an ag agent. The only one who's been there for years and still there (with access to records and emails and such) would be the current Powhatan ag agent. She used to be split between Goochland and Powhatan so I'm sure she's fielded some of those calls. She's a horse person too so she'd probably remember receiving those calls/doing the farm visits if she did one. She can be hard to get ahold of but just leave messages wherever you can if you have trouble catching her. I was not ag so I was just hearing peripheral info as our agents tried to navigate those reports. But I do remember the frustration and venting as we tried to figure out how to get around animal control's lack of response

YES. this is so true! I have zero interest in working 4 long ass days, especially when my day never ends at 5 regardless of my "schedule" and night/weekend participation in events, etc is always required.

There was never good consensus from veterinarians and various extension offices around the country about whether to take feeders or baths down or not. You’ll find many sources promoting both views. I don’t have feeders on site because I’m actively planting natives instead but I do have a bath and plan to add more this year. They get fresh water daily and a good bleach scrub weekly.

So my daughter’s birthday is Saturday and mine’s on Sunday. We’re no-contact with my parents because they’ve leaned hard into the religious MAGA boomer role over the last few years. They think the best way to earn their way back into our lives is with money. Usually I just shred the checks, but decided to do this with it this year instead.

Am thirtysomething with child, can agree with others here, good vibes. Met up with other parent friends on a babysitter night, had some beers, thought their sandwich was very tasty, enjoyed the vibes. Not at all a VCU bar.

That show definitely raised the bar. Got me to revist my long-dormant Star Wars nerdiness. The episode escaping from the raid on the dam was spectacular, especially the visuals.

I had to watch rogue 1 again after sn1 and realized they all die trying to get those plans. I’m not for all the spin-off series, but I think one of Donnie Yen and his partner could work. Even if it’s something short like 4-6 episodes only.

Yeah, I didn't want to yuck OPs yum if it's something that they have been wanting, but man am I in for rewriting some of the norms that we have put in place and not bothered to changed for forever.
