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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

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+.

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

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

I was ranting about "stretch goals" earlier this month, probably during goal setting. That whole, "You worked super hard and were able to accomplish X? Then next year you should accomplish X+Y!" Forget acknowledging that hitting X in the first place was pretty dang awesome.
