THE MORNING HAS BEEN WEIRD, TECHNICALLY

IPad jammed, KVM issues in the screener's booth, really slow internet, authentication issues. 

Had coffee with the Fulbrighters, went to the UPS and Apple stores, got almost everything done.

SO I HAVE SEVENTEEN DAYS OFF

Eight vacation days this year, soon to be nine, eight from last year and one floating holiday. Soon it will be eighteen. The problem is, I can't get myself together enough to ask my supervisor.

WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE A "JOURNEY" OR AN "ADVENTURE?"

Like losing your job, your home, being diagnosed with a terrible disease?

THE SPOON THEORY


A lot of it is bullshit. First of all, it doesn't just apply to people with chronic illnesses. ALL of us have a limited number of "spoons," be they time, money or physical/emotional energy. 

As someone on the Illness Fakers Reddit said, spoons are not currency or lifeblood. You can get them for free at Taco Bell. And if not there, then at McDonald's or 7-11. Longtime  chronic illness patients are apparently saying "enough already. We don't want to hear about your spoons." 

And there's the Spork Theory.
