Laila is out at the grandparents for an entire week--first at ![[instagram.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/profile_icons/instagram.png)
sashagee's parents, then at my parents. This will be the longest she's been away from us and the house already is so quiet. It doesn't help that sashagee isn't feeling super well so she's back in the room taking a nap. That means dinner is up to me. I'm not sure what she was planning, but there's thawed chicken in the fridge and I know how to make stir-fry so that's probably what I'm going to do. We've had pasta a few times this week and I need to clear it out with some rice.
Work is instituting a DEI curriculum for this year. While they've encouraged an equity element in continuing education for years, this is the first year it's been an explicit part of our evaluation and...well, you can tell it's the first year. They've already changed the requirements half a dozen times, we had a division meeting last week and over half of it was taken up by people asking questions about what the exact requirements were, how many items from list B are needed, if you can combine this item with that item into the requirement or does only one count for it...the list goes on and on and on. And then the other list of requirements is just "hours of content consumed" and you can just say "Trust me bro, I did it" as surety. Onm the other hand, this is probably pretty average in terms of new program rollout at a large organization, because at least they have a stated goal that has remained consistent the entire time. Anyone complaining about government dysfunction specifically has never worked for a large organization.
I have a lot of plans this weekend, what with the baby gone. Tomorrow I'm going to a learning in the park with Mishkan in the morning and then![[facebook.com profile]](https://www.facebook.com/favicon.ico)
tom.hen.12 invited me to a board game meetup in the afternoon. Sunday the anime kids are having an art/crafting meeting and I'm planning to go to either work on my review of Dawntrail (this month's game) or work on some CDDA modding stuff. It'll be a nice weekend, slightly active, before going back to work.
And speaking of work, dinner won't make itself.
