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 caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

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

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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

In convoluted WTF-ery, the cousin of Kelly's ex - the guy she lived with that was emotionally abusive - died yesterday. Of a gunshot wound. To her chest. Her husband was "very agitated" and had to be tased for the police to be able to arrest him. I never met the cousin, but Kelly knew her and is in shock but only kinda. Where they all lived and how that whole family lived - let's just say that they are the reason for some stereotypes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If I bought a Fiat I'd get a license plate that said LUX. Some people would get it.
I don't know if it was a migraine. This afternoon I almost fainted. I was shaky and dizzy and weak. I ate some crackers and drank a big glass of water and took a 3-hour nap. Now I feel fine. A little fragile, but fine. IDK. If that fainting feeling had lasted longer I'd have been scared.

I'm glad you feel better now, Zenkitty.
