OMG, 10 hours of work just ended.

I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Congratulations, bob bob!
Hivemind that knows chess boards/pieces: My father has a board made by his grandfather for which he'd like to find Staunton pieces. The squares on the board are only 1" - and all of the mini sets I find have 2.5" kings recommended for 1.5" squares because their base is 1".
Do they make Staunton pieces smaller than this?

Well, I didn't say anything at the time, but he got a tenure-track job in SoCal and we're moving there in the fall.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a bag full of fruit and where to start...apples are probably better saved for afternoon snacks, and mango (eep!) is messy to start out with, so maybe the white peach for brekkie.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Why do computers have to crash right at lunchtime? Can't it wait?

Oh wow! Congrats bon bon and bob bob! California here you come!
My tummy is so confused at me. Why did I make it be awake at 4:30AM? And then eat at 5:30AM? And then again at 9:30AM? It does not understand this "eastern time" thing.
My brain is even less happy, even if it understands better.

Yay! We have bagels and muffins in the cafe! I think I'm going to skip actual lunch today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is my question, too. Although I do want to be in charge of things.
