I feel like I overreacted to the Trump presidency when he was elected, but now I'm starting to get concerned again. Don't get me wrong, he's been as bad as advertised in most ways, (EPA rollbacks and slow-downs, throwing away world leadership by gutting the state department and just generally being a prat, Sessions pushing back on the idea of criminal justice reform, so on and so forth) but the autocratic stuff didn't seem as bad as I thought. Now I'm getting really concerned about a purge at the FBI and Justice department and having them turn into political weapons.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The IC haaates him. They'll do it By The Book, but they're going to get him out.
I just sat on an empty conference line for 3 minutes before I realized I'd got the time wrong.

OTOH, sounds like we're getting a big military parade.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
End, meeting! I want food! Also, if we can just insist on parades now, I totally want one. But a good one, like Mardi Gras, that comes with throws and a party.
...no one show Trump a Mardi Gras parade.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S's school is closed today. Luckily, the daycare part of things opened at 10:30, so I dropped him off there and took the rest of the day off.

For so many reasons.
This month of work is so weird. I go on vacation tomorrow (hooray!), Tuesday I spend the morning working the front desk, next Wednesday I'll be at my old location for the day, next Thursday is my last day as an hourly employee, then two weeks of getting paid for my Customer Support job while doing my Accounts Payable job except for Wednesdays when I have Cust Support meetings, including my supposed last day in Accounting. Bizarre.

Our wings are not tired.
I would love to participate in a full New Orleans type parade celebrating the Trumpian indictments.

Because books.
I've been head down in training for the new job and/or writing a bunch of freelance copy, so I'm not sure what this military parade thing is about.
But I am sure I probably don't want to know.
This month of work is so weird.
That's some schedule, for sure.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I was wondering if VR tech was good enough to fool him with a digital parade, but I like this idea better.

Oh, there's an idea. Or maybe balloons, though VR might be cheaper if you can persuade him to wear the headset.
