vom dot com: A return. Not a triumphant one. →
I took a month off from working out. It’s the middle of tax season (this is a thing! One that is relevant to me now! What a life.) and I’ve been traveling for work quite a bit, and prior to the work trips, I had a fatgirlfuntimesfest at SXSW. Which I guess was a work trip too. And in between these…
We tend to think of joy as something that ebbs and flows depending on life’s circumstances. But we don’t just lose joy, as though one day we have it and the next it’s gone, oh darn. Joy is something that we have to choose and then work for. Like the ability to run for an hour, it doesn’t come automatically. It needs cultivation.

Grievance Airing Open Thread of the Day: Rock Island’s Downtown Arts & Entertainment District announced this week that in addition to (instead of?) Christmas, it will also formally recognize the holiday of Festivus for the first time.
Tonight, as part of a promotional celebration, The District’s various bars and businesses will host a range of activities commonly associated with the secular Seinfeldian holiday.
An “unadorned aluminum pole,” sponsored by the latex division of Vandelay Industries, will be placed at the corner of 18th Street and 2nd Avenue.
The traditional Festivus Feast of meatloaf will be offered to patrons of the Blue Cat Brew Pub.
And special “Grievance forms” for the customary “Airing of Grievances” will be made available at various locations throughout The District. Completed Grievance forms will be entered in a drawing for special Festivus prizes (hopefully none involving the Human Fund).
No word on where the annual Feats of Strength are set to take place, but I imagine that, after a full night of bar hopping, there will be plenty of people willing to accept your wrestling challenge.

vent session
OK - gonna vent for a second and then it’ll be over.
I am so frustrated by the fact that the old teachers at my school get access to all this amazing technology and the new teachers get NONE. Way to plan ahead, OHS. How is this fair to us or the students who are in our classes?????? It’s not even about the ipad at this point…..
GRR.
OK, I am done.
