run-up to the first long weekend of the year

I’d planned to go in to the office this afternoon because it’s the last day we can get into our funky, historic little office building; we’re moving to a new corporate-chic building the week after next, so today was gonna be my day to say goodbye while I picked up my new parking pass. I even did my hair and make-up and found a cute outfit and I was just about to step out the door when the slack messages started about schools going into early dismissal because of severe weather, and yeah, no. Not driving in tornado weather.

So. Bye, office. I’ve heard they’re moving a lot of the art and the tiki room, but I’m guessing the yarn-bombed pillars and a lot of the murals aren’t portable. We’ll see. The project manager overseeing the buildout was publicly bemused that after 20 years in the business he was working with an art coordinator so maybe more than I expect will make the transfer.

As part of my wrap-up for 2023, I sat and thought about what did and didn’t work for me over the year, which I will put behind a cut so you can fly right by if you’re not interested (it’s really not terribly exciting but if I post them here, my brain will hopefully take it as a 'we’re done now' signal & move on …)
