Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

msbelle, I always love a faded oriental rug, and that one comes in so many colorways you could match anything. But sara's seen the space, so I think I'd go with her choice.

So parents letting their children run around airports on scooters is now a thing. I narrowly avoided some older kids at SFO, but got nailed by a very small, unsupervised child at LAX earlier.

Yikes, shrift!

I was on a mountain bike ride this morning, grinding up a steep section of the trail, when a father & son passed us, riding electric scooters down the steel and bumpy trail! It did not look safe!

I was going to try to make kouign amann today, but it takes at least 6 hours, so instead I watched some GABO and ST:DSC. Finally got to the Mirror universe!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Me too. I was in Terminal 3 around 11 am and it was dangerous. I may have told the parents to get off of their phones and pay attention to their crotch goblins. (I said children, but these definitely fit the definition of goblins.)

Flashback to my old life—it's pre 5am and I'm in a lyft on the way to the airport...but this time I have no status, yikes!

Because books.

Quick question: I'm interviewing for a job this morning. If she asks why I want to leave the bakery, what do I say? I want to leave because the new owner is a nightmare but I know that's not the thing to say.

Our wings are not tired.

Change in ownership is a legitimate reason for leaving.

Good to know. Thanks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, I'm assuming the other job is not at a bakery? You can just say that whatever the other job is is more in line with what you want to be doing.

The interview was cancelled. They did some restructuring over the weekend and the position is filled. So much for that.
