That was a lot of subtitles! I just could not stop watching.

Yeah. Subtitles are normally out for bingeable shows, and I had to rewatch the first half of the first episode because I was only sort of paying attention. I'm tempted to try the books they're based upon, but I think only the first two are translated into English yet, and the whole series isn't done.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Laura, I'm up despite my own protests.

Too much going on today.

So far so good, Laura. Have done my 30 minutes of Happy Light and getting out of bed now.

Best Buy sees a lot of weird and old stuff come through recycing. When I worked there it was kinda fun to see what was brought in. One time everyone was talking about the Nintendo Cube and games that were brought in. A few people were wishing they could take it home.

I would double check the policy on CRT monitors before taking it in. I think there are restrictions and maybe a fee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I woke up at the normal time-ish, which is good, because I guess my body was trying to wake up an hour early?

Had a good chat with my boss this morning, where she suggested I talk to HR before following up with the staff. And confirmed that it basically was the one bad apple, which I am now going to banish from my thoughts so I can keep working with her.

So I have do a basic background check to get a government badge for a thing and ....they misspelled my name on the background check/ ID verification submission.

Why do I think this might turn into a mess?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I had training in what to do if I mispelled someone's name when running a background check for caregiver employment. Darned if I remember how to do it, though. There SHOULD be a way for them to fix it, but every system is different so I do not know how big a PITA it will be, sarameg.

Our wings are not tired.

Mine should be interesting since I have had 5 last names. I see reference to it sometimes on credit reports under the AKA section.

That sounds like fun, sarameg.

Grr, I got to work 20 minutes early and found when I got to the door that I didn't have my badge. Went back to my car and thoroughly searched my purse, not there. Checked the car floorboards because it not infrequently ends up there, but not this time. Figured since I was early I should go home and see if it was in the spot by the door where I try to leave it. Did that, not there. Nor in my gym bag nor coat pockets nor nightstand. My best guess is it's in teh laundry somewhere but finding it is going to be a major undertaking that I have no desire to predawn and precoffee. So, came back to work and knocked on the door at the next department where they can actually hear someone knocking and someone did kindly let me in. so I ended up ten minutes late. Sigh.

But I like my outfit.
