'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
There may be a small, greatly disappointed group of students at your school, Sophia.
Connie, your purchase is adorable!
I don't have any milkcrate shelves at the moment. But I do have a few bookcases that date back to my high school years in the mid-80s. (Plus several acquired in years since.) The '80s bookcases are cheap particle board, so I'm kind of surprised they've survived decades of heavy use and several moves. If I ever own a place, I'd love to swap them out for built-ins.
The kidlit world has been talking about sexual harassment in the last few weeks, and apparently Jay Asher is one of the harassers: [link]
I'm sort of crushed at the same time as horrified. He's a great, sensitive writer. How on earth does he not know sexual harassment is wrong?
How horrible Amy.
Hivemind - CJ needs your wisdom/creativity. He is trying to get Chik-fil-a delivered to his sweetheart in Rockford, IL. He has tried Grubhub and UberEats with no luck. Of course he leaves this to the last minute - any ideas?
Taskrabbit? Is that still a thing? I have no idea.
I'm glad I reached out to my old job about not having received a W2 -- they don't mail them at all anymore! Theoretically, I can log in and download it, but of course the site isn't loading, because that place is garbage.
What about DoorDash? That's the other food delivery one around here.
There was an unfortunate headline in my work e newsletter today.
I can't decide if I want that to be deliberate phrasing or if I want that to be the work of someone sweetly oblivious.
Both are good.
So, I'm at my new/old job today for the department meeting, which was fine, and they have nothing else for me to do. Which is nice, because I can actually work on one of my current tasks that is always getting interrupted by more urgent things. General weirdness of not having everything ergonomically fitting or just, you know, my stuff, but my friend that retired left me a coffee cup, hooray!
Oh man, another school shooting spree.
I find it frustrating that after the Las Vegas incident that Congress couldn't even do anything about bump stocks.
