You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Ah, it looks like it's Charter-Spectrum, not Cox, for the most part.

Edited to add: actually, it appears to be a DDOS attack on one particular DNS system. Not just the NE, but also LA and Chicago affected.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm on Spectrum, and I'm fine. I'm using Google's DNS, though.

As do I.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Spectrum is working fine here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My dinner is just fine, but I overcooked all the parts, which is too bad because I have tons of leftovers....

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

And my old boss keeps trying to help me by asking other people to do parts of the job until we get our support person., but they all agree with her to do it, and then come to me to show them how to do it, and then it takes more time than just doing it!

With any luck, that's only true the first time.

Except they are only doing it the once, to help out!

Is anyone watching the Netflix Locke and Key? I am not sure I like it, but I LOVE the house. I think I am just watching to see more of the house.

Locke and Key is on the list because I love Joe Hill's books, but the list is long right now. So, I'm not sure when we'll get to it.

I am on episode 2 of Locke and Key, and I REALLY want the kitchen!

I think my boss is just used to me, so if she wants pens, she just tells me she wants pens, I pick some out, and order them. The assistant she asked is so afraid of someone getting mad at her, she wants someone to go through the catalog and provide her an order number. It is the same thing- she keeps giving "easy" things to the students, but they require me to say, show them how to address an envelope or what a folder is (they scanned and saved the items in a folder on the computer instead of labeling a Manila ffolder!) I can usually head this off if I am giving direction. The poor assistant- I was just like pick out some pens that write! Any pens! Do they make marks on paper? Then I am happy- I have no pens that write!
