Man, the internet is magic. I can track Tim's cousin in the Boston Marathon. Right now, he's run 30K in 1:59. Because he is the goddamn FLASH.
Last year he ran the marathon in 2:31 and finished 225th. Overall, not in his age bracket or whatever. I like to think that all you could see when he ran was comic-book "speed" lines, followed by the word WHOOSH!!!
The page I'm tracking him on shows his miles/hour at each split, and he's just getting faster as he goes. At 5K he was running 10.5 miles/hour, and at 30K he was running 8.3 miles/hour.
t edit
Wait. I did that math totally backwards. Durrr. Still, 8.3 miles/hours ain't too shabby.
SUPERHERO.
My feelings are the same as ita's w/r/t driving stick. Why make things unnecessarily harder? I'd only learn at this point if we were going someplace and renting a car and the only option was to get a stick shift.
Or if you were going on TAR.
I think I was supposed to see it coming that my unemployment just ran out, but I didn't. So ... that happened.
Ack. I think I'm afraid of that and I'm not on unemployment (although I am a pessimist and assume I will be soon--we have a re-org coming up--who knows?). It's not even like you can just work harder and replace the money from somewhere else just like that.
Are you taking some time just to roll around in your feels on that, or are you just marching on (or solutioning, as they say here)?
Comcast is shocked and sorry that I don't have internet or phone, so how about a service appointment on Friday?
I hate them so much.
Sheesh.
What state are you in, Amy? (I should know, but there's a bunch of A(i)m(ee)(y)s on the board. MA is nice in that they don't automatically assume you're trying to rip off the state, and they also send you notices about when you have to re-up (or in the case of no unemployment extension, just get thrown into financial freefall.
The Comcast office is playing Frozen. Maybe I'll just stay here all day and watch it.
Exile report: The library has way better wifi than Panera. Hooray for my tax dollars.
I went to visit my family this weekend. I had a pedicure with my sister on Saturday, and now my toenails are green (green on purpose) and I just had to IMDb a thing because the nail salon was playing something that had Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth in it and Nick Searcy was Liam's dad, and I had to make sure that it wasn't Hannah Montana because Oh Nick Searcy No.
Spoiler: it wasn't Hannah Montana.
I also had to watch part of Hop, which is 25% at Rotten Tomatoes for a reason. On the other hand, I got gravy and also blueberry pie. If my train hadn't been so delayed that I got home around 2am, I wouldn't have many complaints.
