I took the Metro into work today to renew my ID card that I use to log into my computer. I didn’t want to waste the entire day, so I took the 8 am time slot which meant that I was on the metro at about 6:30 am which is early for me to be out of the house.
There are many changes at work, most of which make me melancholy, but I’m overall still very grateful that I have it and can work from home. It’s…fine. Nothing like anything happening at NIH, CDC or various other scientific government agencies. I don’t know what we’d do – as Edda is still at home with her suspension from adult services and so we keep each other company during the work day. Edda is super vocal these days – I made the mistake of calling an attny while she was in my office and mid-call she started “yelling” and what to do? It’s even weird to explain that it’s my daughter because it’s not a regular little kid or big kid sound. It’s an Edda sound.


I’m listening to this..which is not my usual jam, I half-joined a book club and this is what was suggested.

Clara Barton was a patent clerk! I did not realize that.
