Ok, so this week's Hotel Hell is in the town my grand parents retired to near the farm and where my cousin and cousin-in-law live and these owners are out of towners and it is SMALL TOWN MN and I can't see this ending well after tonight.

It's more painful than the one in my hometown. At least that owner was semi local...

I'm eating blueberries with lemon curd. A++ would recommend.

Mmm I love lemon curd.

David, once you fall down the rabbit hole of the PBS Idea Channel, it's hard to come back out.

My upstairs neighbor's new live-in bf is into loud, thumpy, late-night video gaming. So now I'm into sleeping with earplugs. And also sleeping through my alarm, if this morning was any indication.

Amyth, if you've asked the neighbor without a result, let the landlords know. I don't think they're inclined to put up with that if they know about it.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

So I was away all weekend and I came home and the neighborhood had some fireworks going, and TNG was nervous.

... but I was foolish and didn't remember the Fourth of July, so when I woke up this morning there was a mess of "presents" for me in the kitchen. So I gave her some meds and locked the poor thing in the garage for the day. I just don't have the energy to scrub the carpets again (and I'm out of Nature's Miracle).

Calli, I haven't talked with the neighbors, but I probably will. A, above you, heard his video games through the firewall between our units and y'alls and thought it was coming from a car at first, but then it went on so long she realized it was coming from the other half of the building. If she can hear it to the point that it disturbs her, it must be bad.

Punishingly Intricate

ita ! My husband's company is opening an LA office and hiring a bunch of people. I'm not sure if there's anything suitable but they are hiring several BA-type roles (Functional Analyst is one, although I think it might be a more junior-type job than you're qualified for). Anyway, this is the link to the listings:

If anything sounds good, tell them Robert Atkinson sent you. If you want to know more about the company let me know and I can pass on questions.

Either I'm running a low grade fever or my shower was too hot this morning. Uhg. Coupled with the sneeze fits in the morning the past couple days, feels ominous.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh no! I was feeling vaguely feverish yesterday afternoon and hoping I don't get sick. I guess it's irrational to suppose that if someone I spend time with online every day gets sick I'm more likely to, but that is where my mind goes...

I am back at work after 6 days off. I have NO IDEA what I was doing when I left.
