But hey, look like might be able to cancel Loki's vet appt Friday. His lip is unswelling.
Gods, I have so much cleanup and documentation to do tomorrow.

Possibly punchy or the cocktail, but it just struck me as tear bringing hilarious while reading my twitter, which is largely local & black twitter, that my problem today was WHITE SPACES. Goddamned white spaces everywhere.

That's great, Dana!
Not so great, long hours workers. Not due to y'all, obviously, but that sounds like no fun at all.
First day at surprise new job went fine. A few computer accesses I need to, like, do work are not set up yet so I spent the whole day with boss #1 (I have 2, no one knows how that will work, we will all find out together) taking notes on what she was doing so when I do have access maybe I will have some idea what to do. Took a half hour so in the morning to find me a chair. Everyone is at sixes and sevens in the whole company, I think.
Will have to get used to the department vibe, it is both quieter and chattier than I am used to. Drive in was OK, drive home was more traffic, which is irritating but par for the course, I guess. Am rewarding myself with a Hatch burger from Habit and Horizon.
Doing it again tomorrow feels challenging but I'm sure I'll manage.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
That was fun, meara.

Because books.
Settling-in~ma, -t! It sounds not too bad so far.
Those are some long-ass days, sara.
In TV theme song news, I had to drive my Sara to school this morning, and on the way home, the DJ on one station was playing not only '70s theme songs, but also "Sunshine Day" from the Brady Bunch. That was an earworm that was slow to die, let me tell you.

The status is NOT quo.
The inverse square law is what's coming into play here. Every time you double the distance between a sound source and a microphone you lose 6dB, so when you are dealing with the very short distances involved between a mic element and an actor's mouth when mounting a microphone on the head, a difference as small as one inch can have a very large impact regarding gain before feedback.

Did y'all see this "honest trailer" for STTNG? It's freaking hilarious. Oh man.
Palm punches! So many concerts! Worf getting his ass kicked! Acting!
