And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I saw the trending topic but I didn't want to click and find out why.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ugh.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

yeah, i saw that headline go by. Argh.

I'm so grateful Ricky Manning (XP/writer for Farscape) is a stand-up dude.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm WfH at least until the end of the year. And there's speculation that most of our department may never be regularly in the office again. The university is probably going to take a massive financial hit and office space in our city is expensive. I think we're being pretty effective in a WfH context and why pay for space you don't need?

I wouldn't miss my 45 minutes, each way, commute.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My school sounds like we are WFH until the end of the year, unless needed for student labs, Now that I have my work computer home, I am fine with that and will not miss my 2 hour commute on the bus!!!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I miss Nutty; I went from talking to her a couple times a week to nothing, and she pretty much withdrew from most social media that I hung out in as well (it wasn't just =me=). We're all the poorer for it, alas.

Work has picked up the pace, since more things are open, though mostly what I drive residents to are medical appointments, since doctors are now seeing patients for non-essentials, and we've started up program social events (6 people apiece, widely spaced -- but reason to socialize and interact! This is huge for some of them!)... but I'm still doing the mail delivery to each room which takes hours. At least I'm busy, and useful.

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

Todd, it would probably be least hassle to contact Replacements, Ltd. directly and see what they'll offer for multiple place settings, plus serving pieces in your pattern. You could be rid of it in one fell swoop, in the comforting knowledge that someone will be looking for pieces in that pattern and know to go to Replacements.

Just posting that while I was thinking of it--now back to read the rest of the thread.

I didn't know Replacements did that, although it makes sense. Neat!

We are having another credit approval issue while our one and only credit approval worker is supposed to be having a day off. Every time she calls or texts about what we have to do to fix it and inevitably complains about how everyone is aggravating her (with cause!) she always says "Not you, I'm not mad at you" and it's just so sweet, really makes me feel like I'm doing SOMETHING right.

RE: Joss

oy - alan tudyk retweeted the Variety article and posted on the retweet "Wasn't there, but I have known Joss for 17 years, I honestly can't even imagine it and I have a pretty good imagination."

Like didn't post that someone was asking him about it, but had to come in with a dismissing of the accusation on a project he wasn't a part of.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Beverly, thanks for the recommendation. I do have something that might well be something they'd want. But most of what I have - that I'd like to get rid of - is 19th Century, a specific pattern of white ironstone, plus one complete tea set in soft-paste porcelain. sigh ... I buy and I buy, but never got rid of anything.
