No word from my parents today. I'm assuming that's a good thing and the drugs are working. I should probably call to check.

I spent the morning fighting with my old printer/scanner so I could print out the forms for the new job, fill them out in pen, and scan them to send them back. Have these people never heard of PDFs with entry fields? Also, they want witnesses on really basic forms, like "I have read and acknowledge the Worker's Comp policy". WTF. Screw that.

Now on to taxes, woot.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I was also unmoved by the picture, so don't care that it turned out to be a manip. My initial reaction:

Oooh! RDJ shirtless and eyes blazing! This would be a splendid picture were it not for the unfortunate quantity of rope obstructing my view of his shirtless torso, that other piece of rope utterly spoiling the line of his mouth, and the presence in the photo of another person who is (a) fully clothed and (b) not RDJ.

For cheeseheads and us FIBs: Mars Cheese Castle moves into an actual castle (well, castle-shaped building). I should head up to Kenosha just to make that turnoff for Mars Cheese Castle. And maybe do some shopping at the Nike outlet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Just got out of a very interesting meeting with my boss. The department chair wants us to start making alternate plans for how to move classes to off-campus locations, get brochures printed by non-campus services, food service, etc. In case of a work stoppage. Now, the chair is not a union member and I was up at the capitol with my union rep yesterday and nothing was said of a work stoppage then. So...interesting times.

The last time the state workers went on strike was 1976. Makes me wish my mother was still alive so I could pick her brains.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Are you sure? She could be sneaking out of her grave at night for BRAINS... or to go to work.
