I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

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

And done. Don't have to think about that for another couple of months when we get the official top-down version.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys, I have working lights in every room of my apartment! AND working outlets! It's pretty exciting, I'm not going to lie. (Although the fixture I agonized over picking for my bedroom isn't quite bright enough, but whatever. I will deal with it.)

Also, the switches are all in the wrong places, which is more of a thing. I may actually ask if it's too late to change some of them.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I got a promotional email from Micro Center today, a coupon for a free 32GB memory card or thumb drive. "Thanks for being our customer!" it says. "Please except this great offer!" @@

I don't know what those words in that order might mean, excatly, sarameg, but sympathies.

There was electrical work because a part was fading slowly. Electrician nearly electrocuted himself in the process somehow and the resultant electrical chaos caused every major system to suffer some form of power failure. Lost phones, large parts of network, storage, all the base systems under the archive (mine) and then when it came back, it came back all fucked up because that's what pulling plugs does and why you have uninterruptible power supplies. Which only work when they aren't put in trouble (aka disabled) mode when you gotta swap power cables.

It was a clusterfuck and I'm still working to clean up the mess. Which is at least less bad because we had the systems pretty quiet because we were planning on bouncing the servers for other reasons this morning anyway.

Uhg. I may be able to speak human again before the week ends.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My FIL's siblings are in town to help him clear out/clean up his condo so it can be put on the market.(FIL and SMIL have decided to move to Florida.) We all met up for dinner, which was nice.

Yikes, sara. Yikes.

Isn't as bad as when the UPS caught fire and set off the halon, but close.

And my list of urgent to-dos is a mile long, but I can't deal with those until things settle down. Which, eightball says unlikely.
