My brother's lost power complete with arcing line in the front yard and a neighbor car was tree smashed. He's hopeful about power resolution because several of his neighbors work for Bama Power and were out tamping the lines when it happened.

I've honestly had such a day I'm not tracking. Found something that after swim meditation might spike the project install dates. I'm not sure. But it is troublesome, holy hell. And I want this project to go live successfully so I CAN STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. It transitions our account services to another team, and I'm sure they'll fuck it up, but it will no longer be our responsibility and we're the trailblazers Yahdahyahdah. I'm willing to let them fuck it up to a degree because they need to learn and it is past time. But jesuschrist, clearly they don't understand testing. And they are our IT dept! At this point, I'm willing to make a public example of them. And point out how we do it right. I'm that done. Pouring the fuel and flicking my cig.

I'm sorry about the goats, Juliebird.

Epic:

Manatees saved! [link]

Floridians might be insane, but they're kind of nutty about manatees, the way the British are about hedgehogs.

Yay manatees! (That's the name of my BIL's swim team, too.) It must be kind of scary working with them--they can do a lot of damage just flopping around, they're so big.

Juliebird, I'm so sorry to hear about the goats. I love goats, they're so full of personality and baby goats are among the cutest things in the world.

Much family-health ~ma to everyone who needs it.

And now to bed.

amyth, that's completely random! I honestly don't remember if I clicked your link or was just on a JGL kick (which I've been on since last week) and I'm pretty sure the first I saw that song was at the end of Re: Number 1, hitRECords first episode.

Something's in the air . . .

Anyways, sorry for the repeat. And it really is a great song for exactly the reason you stated last night.

edited, because song, not dong

Oh that's quite all right! I just thought it was an interesting coincidence, especially since you said you found it last night. I support being on a JGL kick, anytime, anywhere.

Woke up in the middle of the night and there are reports of widespread power outages in the area because the snow is so heavy and wet. Power's still on here. Pleeeeease let it stay that way...

My train was delayed 20 minutes due to switch problems. And we only had about four inches of snow. Apparently transit budgets here are too low so maintenance gets skimped on, hence the switches that get wonky with only a little snow.

Meanwhile, our new governor has proposed cutting two hundred million from the transit budget.

Our exact situation here in MA, tommyrot.

I am done with everything today. Leaking toilet in the master bath, which we discovered last night while painting said bath. It has soaked a section of the kitchen ceiling tiles, and I have no idea how long it's been happening. The watermark was there from the time I moved in, but I never checked to see if it was dry or not. Fuckery is happening with my county property taxes, and no one is taking responsibility. I've blistered my real estate agent and my mortgage broker over this. Someone has cost me over $100 in penalties and fees. I still don't have an answer as to whether the deed in lieu application for the Frederick house has been accepted. And I definitely need a new oil tank before the next winter heating season.

Work-wise? I have a bid due tomorrow. Neither Purchasing nor my boss is getting back to me with pricing or approvals. It needs to be FedExed by 5 pm.

In short, fuck the world. I don't want to be an adult anymore.
