I didn't know the GGs were happening at all, but I saw Gervais show up in my right-wing Twitter so I was curious. He was doing a roast so I didn't really find it upsetting, but it was that trope of having to be totally pure to have an opinion and it reminded me a lot of The Good Place.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

That makes sense, Gudanov. Most people should probably watch The Good Place. Ricky Gervais, in general, should just shut up. I don't know why anyone hires him for, well, anything. But watching The Good Place might help him be better.
I forgot until just now that my 9 hour days start today. Blergh.

I didn't watch the Golden Globes at all, but figured that I really only wanted to see the dresses anyway, and Kat has me covered on that at FB and I also follow Go Fug Yourself, so...
I can't decide if I just spent too much time falling down a youtube hole on my phone yesterday, or if my eyes don't like the computer/phone much anymore, or what--by the end of the day I felt like my vision was all kinds of off. I think maybe I need to take more "staring at things far away" breaks.

Look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes, meara! Or so I am told.

I accidentally fell asleep while TCG was putting ltc to bed. So, we watched it on delay when I woke up and fast forwarded through any boring bits.

Timelies all!

One of the things that I appreciate about my job is that I get to do a variety of things, from driving to looking for stuff, to toting stuff around, and then I get to do computer-y stuff when I get home.
I finally have an acceptable bid for replacing my hot water tank (it's technically not what they call a hot water heater, since the actual heating is done in the high-efficiency furnace) -- the first guy wanted $6K.. how about $2438? That's still a not-inconsiderable amount of money, but still approaching 1/3 what Shady Plumber wanted.

Glad to hear that, Theo!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I made a dent in the endless laundry pile today by doing several loads. I even folded it. I took a couple things down from the freezer for food for the week. And we made a weeks worth of oatmeal in the instant pot. Adulting is hard.
