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.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
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.

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

I find it frustrating that after the Las Vegas incident that Congress couldn't even do anything about bump stocks.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
We were watching that on the news, Gud. Horrific.
As for bump stocks, unfortunately there really isn't much Congress can do to stop bump firing...you can bump fire with any kind of stock.
-t - yay for new/old job! Gud's comment about Las Vegas reminds me of our last Lyft ride with the Vegas shooting conspiracy theorist driver.

Our wings are not tired.
This one in my backyard. I turned off the news when they remarked that is was surprising somehow because it was in a rich school. Really? Why?

But a purpose-built bump stock allows maintaining a higher rate of fire with more accuracy, up to 800 rounds per minute.

Oh man, now there are reports of numerous fatalities starting to trickle out. It's so awful. Those young lives being snuffed out. I know there are even more horrific things happening elsewhere in the world, but being a parent of teenagers here in the U.S. this is hitting hard.
