And it is apparently someone's job to keep up morale and foster teamwork
Has anyone whose official job this was ever done anything but the exact opposite in the history of ever?
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
One of the first things you told me when we met face to face was not to call you that name.
In other news, it's frickin' snowing here.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh that sounds fun.
I'm so grumpy already. I don't know how I'm going to last ten more days without chewing off my own leg or my family smothering me in my sleep.

People try to call Jacqueline "Jackie" and that does not go over well.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Anyone trying to call ltc any shortened version of her name will get an earful from her.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yep, Dallas County is now under shelter-in-place. Well, technically, not until midnight tonight. We still need to go to the grocery store today, of course.

The bakery we go to is closing. I was hoping they were still considered essential because we have to interact with less people to get bread there, and it is better bread.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've had people try to call me "Toddy" (shudder).

The consequences of professors ask to open cameras + having cats + recorded live lessons = my cats are now well documented on university's servers.

Ohio's stay-at-home stint starts at midnight tonight, so Tim's at work today, but I can tell you that 2 weeks of having him at home while I still work 40+ hours a week is going to end with me yeeting him into space. But he's also going to lose his goddamn mind being stuck at home, because he is 100% an extrovert, just a very, very chill one, but he needs time with people-not-his-hermit-wife. I do feel bad for all the extroverts stuck at home, and I hope their loved ones don't yeet them into space.
