Hall & Oates 4ever
I saw Brokeback Mountain with my gbf at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre last night and it was wonderful. It was also Pride night so we got free rainbow desserts and a drink ticket.
The acting, set design, music, all perfectly intimate and true. I loved the short story even before the movie, so much so that when I was in college I wanted to be Annie Proulx. Nothing was more important than a western woman writer, maybe I can still be that some day.
My special project came through this afternoon 😭 It’s a temporary work assignment to help out another team veiled a trial period for both of us to see if it can be a permanent move.
I met with the team manager this morning. It was a great convo and an immediate yes from her, all because the new VP is looking out for me.
I went from being bullied by my manager and feeling totally insecure/checked out to… hope! The first time in three years hope!
Of course I was most worried about my manager’s reaction and the second he found out he asked me to set up a meeting. I’m taking a beat to give him a professional response and meeting invite BUT two middle fingers in your face, dude.
Hahhaaaaagagaga
Manager is such a liar it’s glorious. I read his message and he said that I was being sent to a work assignment that was his idea. He had been talking to leadership and told me how this happened because of another PM leaving, and and I would be on a very specific project that he used to in charge of and is now passing to me. He also said he had been working with the team manager and he would introduce me.
I’m sorry what??? WHAT??? WHAT.
I will pretend like I didn’t orchestrate this myself play nice and do whatever I have to get away from him.

Oops I bought a barely used sewing machine and I haven’t sewed in 20 years but it’s like riding a bike, right?
I haven’t talked about work in a while because it’s been objectively bad all around. But! My new VP is coming in on a white horse and there are better days in sight.
She and I have been friends my entire time here (12 yrs lol) and she actually hired me and was my first manager. She’s also looked out for me along the way, she even reached out when she was interviewing for the job to get my insider perspective.
Yesterday was her first official day and she scheduled a check-in, and I was honest about my experience and our group as a whole, specifically pointing out there are zero women in leadership roles and there’s no trajectory for me to move up.
Then today she reached out and asked if I would be interested in a special project, which is code for getting me out and elevated from my current situation. I told her emphatically “Yes! Take me, I’ll do whatever you need!”
If this works I’m going to be in an entirely different situation, and soon.
Went to dinner last night with Matt’s aunt and uncle who are in town from Detroit.
I was blown away when deeply conservative uncle made a few remarks about our country moving to fascism and a dictatorship, and saying “we all need to vote.”
This is the man who told me Hamilton was blasphemous for having POC actors play our founding fathers.
A 19yr old girl told me my style reminds them of Florence and Machine and that is the highest compliment I’ve ever received.
The way my husband houses medjool dates? I can’t keep them in the pantry long enough for the recipe I actually use them in.
This is a description.
I really, really need the universe or whatever to send me a win.
A work-win would be especially nice but I’ll take anything at this point.
Being a childless 40+ year old woman is such a mindfuck.
Does anyone here understand?
