Can’t say why exactly, but the phrase “once again refused a pierogi” made me laugh out loud.

Someone knocked on my office door and I forgot to switch to Work Me mode, so Regular Me answered, “Come INNNNN” in a deep, vampire-y voice. (Pardon me while I walk out into the sunlight to incinerate myself.) Teams status: Appear Away. Duration: Eternity

The dry down of the perfume (some Gucci sample) I’m wearing smells like baby lotion. I mean, a very luxurious baby lotion, but still.

Am muting a conversation and not replying how I would like to reply ONLY because a friend suggested “deep breaths and relax. It’s all good. It’s Ramadan!” I’m not an observer, but I can observe goals of increased kindness and charity and not blowing up a volunteer organization with justified ire.

The bathroom cleaning schedule in my office building (one restroom for the entire first floor, no other public bathrooms in the building) is precisely timed to coincide with my digestive system. I did not anticipate that this much of my adult working life would be spent trying not to wet my pants.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

GUEST ESSAY

I'm 16. On Nov. 5 the Girls Cried, and the Boys
Played Minecraft.

Nov. 16, 2024, 7:00 a.m. ET

By Naomi Beinart
Ms. Beinart is a 16-year-old high school junior.

On the morning after the election, I walked up the staircase of my school. A preteen
was crying into the shoulders of her braces-clad peer. Her friend was rubbing
circles on her back.

I continued up the stairs to the lounge, where upperclassmen linger before classes.
There I saw two tables: One was filled with my girlfriends, many of them with
hollows under their eyes. There was a blanket of despair over the young women in
the room. I looked over to the other table of teenage boys and saw Minecraft on
their computers. While we were gasping for a breath, it seemed they were
breathing freely.
We girls woke up to a country that would rather elect a man found liable for sexual
abuse than a woman. Where the kind of man my mother instructs me to cross the
street to avoid will be addressed as Mr. President. Where the body I haven't fully
grown into may no longer be under my control. The boys, it seemed to me, just
woke up on a Wednesday.

Why did it seem these boys were so unperturbed? I worried that my guy friends
might only care about women until it conflicts with other, more pressing, priorities.

That morning, I spoke with a male classmate. He asked if I was OK. I nearly
melted with relief. See, I knew not all guys were ignorant! Then, before I
responded, he continued. Why, he wondered, are so many girls crying? I stared. I
swallowed that familiar lump. And I had one thought: I pray that my older brother
never asks that question. How could my classmate not know why girls in his grade
were biting their nails and doing breathing exercises in the bathroom? It seemed
like our future was sliding down the sides of our faces, and he asked me why we
were crying? I have never felt that disconnected from men. I have never felt more
like a girl.

Eight years ago, I was too young to feel the full force of Hillary Clinton's loss. Now
at 16, I've had the wind knocked out of me. On Wednesday, I was flush with anger
- but it was diluted by an even stronger feeling: defeat. I saw it in the eyes of
women in my subway car that morning. I saw it in the barista at the coffee shop on
the corner, the female security guard at my school and in the face of my history
teacher.

In a terrible way, I've never felt more part of a sisterhood or more certain that pain
is shared within that family. I wish the consequences of this moment for young
women punctured the apparent indifference of so many men and boys I saw that
day. I wish they could breathe in what the women and girls I know have been
inhaling since Nov. 5.

I can't predict how well I'm going to do on an English test tomorrow and I
definitely can't predict the future for me and my fellow young women. For now, all I
can do is tell you how I feel.
Naomi Beinart is a 16-year-old girl and a junior in high school.

It’s been years, but I still think about the complaint I drafted on behalf of a kid who facing expulsion from uni after police violated his civil rights and charged him with b.s. offenses. Wherein I referred to a drug dog as “the canine officer” throughout the pleading.

Quick question: if you wrote a letter but didn’t mail it because you put the fun in executive dysfunction, should you A) mail it weeks later when you get your act together and find/buy stamps? B) rip it up and write a new letter? C) mail the old one, and write and mail a new one?

Interrupting me to make a point that I was in the process of making is only slightly less rage-inducing than interrupting me to make a point I already made. Ah, conference calls. At least it wasn’t a video call. My poker face skillz are way rusty from COVID (and not great to begin with).

Is it worth even getting tested for RSV? I feel like treating symptoms at home, working remotely & not sneezing it up (in a mask, which is like an extra 1/2 level of Hell) in a waiting room full of people seems like the best course of action. Is there any value to anyone (me, public health) to know?

Served on the arbitration panel today. As I was not Chairman, I followed procedure and addressed my preliminary question to him rather than directly to plaintiff’s counsel. (Barn door wasn’t just ajar. WIDE open, with shirt…I think…poking out.)
