I bet an airfryer would make those zeppole delicious again.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

quick meara:

There was an issue with one of the main things I was gonna work on, so I took lots of breaks and cleaned a lot in my house. Exactly what employers fear about people working from home.

Mwahahah. That's right, Employers, we're running amok without your constant supervision! Just as you feared! We're cleaning our bathrooms in our underwear! Woo-hoo!

Yay on not getting stuck doing that guy's expense reports!

Oh, double yay for that, Toddson. That was just ridiculous.

Oh man, I just read someone's account of how her husband was grading college senior math exams and got a note from one student asking him to meet for drinks "and other things" at a bar so she could explain why he should review his grading and see if he might have made mistakes. He obliviously reviewed the test, found a couple of additional mistakes he'd overlooked the first time, lowered the grade, and thanked the student for asking him to double check his work.

Man, I love stories like that. Are you sure he was really oblivious?

I seriously pay for a Wordpress account that allows me to back it up and store the images there just in case Tumblr goes BOOM.

I didn't even know one could do that, Plei. I should do that.

Aims, that video was a joy to watch.

Tr*mp apparently ordered the bombing without going through Congress, which may be illegal. Not that anyone in power seems to really care when Tr*mp does something illegal. I'm too tired for outrage and horror anymore, now I'm just disgusted with pretty much everyone in power in the whole fucking world. Except Angela Merkel.

Yeah. Maybe we could trade Trump for Angela Merkel. We'd probably have to throw in a sh*tload of military equipment too. Then we'd have Merkel for a leader and Germany would have Trump and a bunch of... maybe not the greatest idea come to think of it.

Y'all, I just... Went to tell our IT guy that I ordered an ext hard drive (what I wanted to add...because you never set up a back up for my local drive as we discussed and if I lose these files I'm screwed). Him, "Well we have a script that's easy to set up and we'll have to do it even if you get the hard drive." I'm like, "Okay." Ordered the drive and will let you know when he "remembers" to set up the back up (will never happen). People, man.

Caaaaaaaake.

That's all I have to say on this Friday that is not yet over.

I had cake last night and now I want more cake.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I do not have cake. Oh, but I have biscotti.

Oh, this is classic. Editor-in-chief asks me a question, I ask EditSupport, they ask the software liaison, liaison asks the admin, admin asks the Editor-in-Chief. *facepalm*

So nobody knows the answer to the question, and the process can't move forward until the question's answered.

Beautiful Zenkitty. And all too familiar. Sometimes made worse, ime, when I know the answer but no one believes me.

Y'all. I am supposed to be off Monday and Tuesday for Passover but just thinking about trying to explain to my backups what needs to be done while I am out is making me want to cry.

His wife seemed to think so, but I don't know. Oblivious or deliberate are both awesome in their own ways for this.
