Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

If it snows, I can deal with it. What makes it untenable is when K's school is cancelled, and my DH and I still have to work. Since we are in a wee apartment across town while our house is being renovated, she can't just walk over to a friend's house so we generally have to play all the games to keep her occupied.

Also, I would like a decent weather forecast for Saturday, since we will be out at the March for our Lives. We will go even if the weather is not good, but I would prefer it be good.

Amy, I hope S is okay. No one needs that kind of worry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This. We're getting sleet now, but predictions have gone from 3-5", maybe, to 5-10".

Our predictions have gone from 1-3 to 12-16 of "heavy wet snow"

Travel conditions will be "difficult to impossible"

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

Aphasia is one of those things I'm more afraid of than is probably warranted. I hope they get it figured out.

Punishingly Intricate

I have a 3 pm doctor's appointment and they're still trying to figure out if they're closing early or not. It's been sleeting all morning and I'm not thrilled at going outside and diving.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Apparently it's two Nor'easters combined into one superstorm? Whatever it is, I am not pleased.

All Winter in A Storm?

My current competency score is 99.1%

That seems...weirdly precise? I mean, I'm on a "just because we put numbers on it doesn't mean it's objective" kick, but, damn.

I am home for the A/C repair man, a fuse was changed just over a week ago and then it stopped again. I REALLY hope it is nothing big.

I was told they would be here right at 12, but that seems not to be true.

A month's worth of various metrics. I object strenuously to the "Oh, you got an A. Why isn't it an A+?" thinking.

Tell them you have to hold back a little bit so you'll be rested when the crunch comes.

I object strenuously to the "Oh, you got an A. Why isn't it an A+?" thinking.

I feel the "This high score isn't good enough" mentality is harmful. But I would feel that way, considering the work thing I just finished was triggered by two A grades in a row, instead of two A+.
