Timelies all!
Everything was open, so I went to work. Once I got out of my parking space at home, the commute was fine. Still, it is cold and windy.
A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

And he didn't use the word "genetics", but said that some people just seemed to handle excess weight better. So hopefully the medical profession will stay on this route, instead of the "all of your problems are because you're fat" route.
I hope the medical profession goes this way, as carrying excess weight is pretty much a family tradition for my (genetic) people.

That was a big upside to my very boring job at the Sewerage & Water Board, plenty of time to read and post here (and keep up with an astonishing (in hindsight) number of webcomics and blogs). Oh what I might have become with access to tumblr in those days!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
During the WX era, I had the world's most boring and easy job sitting at a desk.
Yeah, I like my current responsibilities and paycheck, but I miss having A) downtime and B) a private office with a door that closes because OMG everything must be open plan nowadays and never mind if that means you catch EVERY cold in the building, your coworkers know way too much about your medical situation (not that I couldn't leave the desk to call the doctor, but cell phone reception in the building sucks and you usually have to await the doctor's convenience for a return call)...and it cuts severely into your hanging out with wonderful invisible people time.

It's either time for the biennial sewage line cleanout, or the main line got a little icy OR the snow and ice that blew up against the basement door melted inwards. Sigh. Tomorrow's shower will tell whether I need to make a home warrantee call...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Right? I did not say that I came from a long line of sturdy people, but seriously. We're Cajuns. We cook very good food.

I admit, I had to read that run of posts a few times to be sure which way the medical profession might be going.
