That ice was neat. I say, as someone without property at risk.
Sarameg, it's great that they're looking ahead and seeing you as a good fit for an advancement.
I would be there right now.

My corporate overlords are reorganizing bigtime. There's major bucking from our local boss to keep our existing reporting structure. I have a not-so-secret hope that the main contract will buy us out. TIAACREF! 5 weeks! But highly unlikely, so far corporate is bending to our local whims.

It's encouraging. And flips off my imposter complex. (Due to all my life drama these past few months- dying cat, dental stuff, being generally overwhelmed with the business of being a grownup- I feel like I'm not always giving a full effort at work. And I'm not, but they still think it is good enough.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm having a major anxiety...clench about going to work tomorrow. I don't know what's going on.
I did just learn that Australia has big things. That seems...unsurprising.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Mine too. I like your cap off/cap on code, Cass, but I suspect I would lose the caps if they weren't on the bottles. Hm.
Mine go immediately into the drawer next to the fridge where random kitchen utensils live. They are never in any other place. On a bottle or in the drawer. Or I'd lose them all too.
I don't know exactly why I am supposed to have a unicorn corkscrew but I am absolutely sure what I will name it. And it will make me smile every time.
So? Insent my address to your profile addy.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Fascinating.
I did pretty well on 1, not bad on 3 others, but was off by half the globe on the last one. Total points 9811.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My first guess--I said South America, but the answer was Australia. Second game, I said near Fort Stockton, and it was nearer Fort Smith. Only 800km the second time. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO PLAY. Or to navigate street view.
I got 9231 points. My first three guesses were all in the right country at least. Entirely the wrong continent on one guess.

Yeah, I think the only ones where I was anywhere close, it was because there were signs.

I hate elementary school functions. They just prove I'm socially awkward and don't like large groups. Sigh.
