You can't erase, you can't replace it
Good morning! It's going to be a lovely, disgustingly hot Wednesday! Which means our AC will be working overtime, and I'll be wearing a sweater, because the only place for my desk was right in front of the vent. But since I can deal with cold better than heat, I'm okay with it.
Yesterday was interesting. Within the first hour of being at work, my manager announced to us that she's giving her 2 week notice, effective today. I'm not really shocked-she'd been taking all of her PTO over the last week and a half, and we all kind of assumed that she was job hunting. I'm also not at all upset about it-she wasn't a good manager, at least not for me, and I'm kind of grateful I only have to deal with her for another 2 weeks. Maybe less, since according to my coworkers, IKEA frequently releases people from having to stay the whole two weeks. I'm wondering what they'll do with us when she's gone. The other manager of our department already has 13 coworkers on her team, and I don't think she wants another 15. They could possibly split us between her and my former manager? But all in all, I think they will be needing to find someone quickly.
All of my reports came in relatively early, so I had things to do here and there. Which is a good thing because I was super restless yesterday. Everything was pissing me off and I didn't want to stay in my chair at all. I kept getting up and walking around hoping it would help. I think part of it was that I was trying not to take my nightly muscle relaxant, because I don't know if my PCP will refill it. She did not seem thrilled that I was on them when I went for my physical. Apparently, after you've been on them for as long as I have, there can be some withdrawal symptoms, including anxiety. I took half a pill last night, so we'll see if that improves. And I'll send a portal message begging for more. She had wanted me to see an ortho, but maybe the neuro's word will be good for it. God, I miss my old doctor.
2 days to Curse of Strahd! I'm almost ready for the game. I've reread everything, and now I just need to rework my session 0 form. It's the same form, but the answers change, depending on the game. Strahd is a lot darker in tone, so I want to make sure to check in with my players regularly about it. Some answers do not change, of course. Certain things are a no at my table. It's a fantasy game, and in my fantasy, there's no sexual assault. In Strahd, there may be innuendo and flirting and temptation and there may be non-sexual biting, but nothing more. I will not be using Charm Person like that against my players.
Okay, time to get myself together, and then work on the aforementioned session 0 document some. Have a good Wednesday everyone!
