Blood pressure is fine.

Still, I learned that getting my buttons pushed makes me feel kind of like I feel after performing at a music recital: shaky, light-headed, and blood churning. (Not hot, though--still freezing cold in the overly enthusiastic air conditioning.)
Today's 4:00 meeting had the surprising effect of making me feel better than usual at the end of the day. When a meeting is the best part of your day, that's ... sad. We do have good meetings at my workplace, though. Things get done.
Quote of the day - "In an educational institution, I don't know who would say 'I don't want to learn a new thing.'"
When that new thing is how to do a boatload of extremely boring and annoying additional job duties for a person who doesn't have time to do the job duties she already has (and which no one else knows how to do or has time to learn), I actually do know someone who might say that. If she were feeling polite at the moment.
Other quote of the day - "Persons who first become members or return to membership on or after September 1, 2007 are subject to a 5% annuity reduction for each year under age 60 if they retire before age 60 and meet the Rule of 80." - TRS (emphasis added)
Translation: Retiring at 52 as planned would mean a 40% reduction in pay forever if I took a little break. Rats. And double rats.
