Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I am not FB black, and they consider me a political moderate. Whuuu?

They did at least get the frequent traveler and how I connect correct.

I don't know if that means I'm good at not giving them info to work with besides my travel check-ins, or I'm a bad ally.

I probably won't get rid of FB because it is the only way some of the far-flung family members stay in touch. I don't want to lose that.

Amy, so much ~ma for your dad.

Work is eating me from the bottom up, but that's nothing new. Two RFP responses need to go out the door early next week, and I have current client orders to handle as well. At this rate, I'll see everyone after the last final order due date has passed sometime in June.

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

Poking around in my Facebook settings did give me the opportunity to set a Legacy Contact. I made it my niece (I hope that doesn't freak her out) but maybe it should actually be one of you...

ETA They have me as a frequent traveler and I am SO NOT

Oh, hey, there are donuts. Maybe my unconscious somehow knew I'd get lots of food at work and wouldn't need breakfast?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Best thoughts for your dad, Amy.

Yeah, but they called me a frequent traveler, too, and that's not true!

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

The person misusing my email changes their Comcast password a lot & orders weight watchers smoothie flavors that sound vile. (I don't like raspberry 'flavor'. Or French vanilla.)

That's a lot more interesting than the person using mine, who just really REALLY wants to read the Wall Street Journal.

(I am teaching myself Korean, and it is because of K-pop, but also I kept a diary in dwarf-runes when I was 16 so it's not like this is a new personality trait or anything.)

I am not teaching myself Korean, but I did spend all of middle school passing notes to my best friend in dwarfish runes.

FB has me as a very liberal black woman (which, for the purposes of targeted political advertising, ok), as well as Frequent Traveler (probably because my work computer thinks it's in Seattle) and Close Friends of Expats. Which is true but sounds like the kind of thing the NSA would use as an excuse to bug my phone, so I'm not comfortable with it AT ALL.

Our wings are not tired.

And a soccer fan, which isn't wrong, but not really what I would expect in the top handful of things.

Same. Also a frequent traveler. Awesome, hope it is predictive.

I get Far From Family, which I don't understand, my parents are 20 miles away and my siblings are in Oregon, is that far? Also Far From Hometown, which maybe because I think FB thinks my hometown is Baton Rouge.


Amy - Mar 23, 2018 7:03:34 am PDT #23641 of 30002
Because books.

I got both of those, too, -t, and mostly a lot of stuff about how I use FB -- Android, wifi, etc. As far as I can tell there's nothing about my race there, though it does have my political affiliation as :very liberal".

Coding and Sleeping

Yesterday I got some new alligator loppers. It makes me want to break down some branches piled up in the backyard.

Our wings are not tired.

So far a busy weekend. Chiropractor at 5, then theater date tonight for opening night at the local community theater. Tomorrow morning work date with one of my office managers because she can't get shit done during the week. Then the March with the kids at 4. I know I have stuff on my calendar Sunday too, but don't remember now.
