March on Washington. also: life

Here is a link to some colorized photos of the March on Washington, 50 years after the fact. It's a pretty great (if light) article and set of photos on the difficulties and strengths of colorization; especially worth it for the one image that was done by two different people.

Life has been busy, like it is. The kid is seven and a half, full of ideas and comic books and energy. I just celebrated my one-year anniversary at this job, and I still love it. We are just now winding down the now-annual pilgrimage up to Maine for the summer, and it was pretty excellent aside from that one time with the wasp nest.

What's up with you?

Technology is way cool, and that article is a nice antidote to some other happenings of yesterday, like the President's speech and subsequent TNC article.

Life's crazy. This week has been paralyzing with exhaustion on one hand, and extreme reluctance to work on the other. The latter is a direct result of last Friday's weekly meeting, in which we finally charted out how many people should be doing the work I'm doing. The number is three. When things will get better staffing-wise is anyone's guess.

House is chaos, work is chaos, my head is... getting less chaotic, because I'm working on it super hard! So that's good.

Super hard work is super hard! But also awesome, especially when it's working.

You're three people? My goodness. I knew you were amazing.

Well, I'm doing three people's job rather badly. We're all doing multiple people's jobs badly, which makes it both super difficult and UTTERLY NECESSARY to finish this staffing-and-strategy project.
