Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

When I worked at a customer service desk in high school, we had the following machines - food stamp machine with phone entry, cash register with 10 key, video dental computer with 10 key, main switchboard with phone entry, lotto machine with phone entry, bottle return with 10 key. It was so irritating.

I adulted and called chase to find out my account # ( after 5 years!) so I could pay off my car loan and cancel the autopay. And hey, the gamble that my car would survive a 5 yr, no interest loan paid off.

Now I should sink that payment into retirement or something. Next adulting.

How about three-quarters to retirement and the other quarter to breathing room in regular expenses?

What the hell is a "video dental computer"?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's a typo for "video rental computer".

It's a typo for "video rental computer".

That's disappointing. "Video dental computer" sounded potentially -- yet entertainingly -- horrifying.

Yeah, I went to a Del Toro place in my mind with that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Uggghhhhh.... Woke up anxious at 5:30, got to work before 8, feel too tired to really do anything. At least I have meetings all morning that I don't have to contribute much to? On the other hand, none of this will help me get through my to-do list.

Phew, at least I finished my upward and sideways feedback.

Someday the idea of dental work being done by a human might be horrifying.
