I just tried to call and set up an account with PG&E. Then I gave up and set up an account on their website in about a two minutes. Lesson learned.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Oh, that's nothing. The fabric stores have started to make Christmassy noises.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My precious, I wants it.

So being unable to resist, I have tried it and it is yum but it is not the apotheosis of bacon chocolate. Still, works well with afternoon coffee, and way way cheaper than Vosges.

Thanks for taking one for the team, Burrell. Now that I have eaten lunch I am slightly less desperate. Although I would very much like to go home. Run, reports, run!

Well, sure. Some of us need even more time than that for seasonal crafting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say -- if you have to make the stuff, you do need lead time! It's not like just buying decor.

I love us, we use the word "apotheosis" casually and correctly.

I just tried to change my address on my renters insurance and went into a spiral trying to answer all the questions, like what type of roof my new apartment building has, how close it is to a fire station and a fire hydrant, when it was built, and are there fire walls?

And now my brain is crying.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

During the night, there was a flood in the server farm for the office building we work in. It fried our expensive router thingie and killed it dead. We lost all internet--which means we can't get or send any of the actually, deadline-driven work we do. Our IT staff got a hotspot going, so we had enough sloooow connectivity for email, but not much else.

I did a truly heroic thing and came home, where I have internet, dogs and cats and a comfy place to put my feet up while I work. I hope they appreciate my dedication.

Heckuva job, Scrappy.

I made it home, I have tomorrow's lunch simmering and scheduled to keep doing so for another 14ish hours. Fed the birds. I'll check the water level in my fountain and empty and reload the dishwasher and then if I still just want to go to bed maybe I will.

Oh, wait, dinner, I should probably eat some of that. Hm.
