Everyone here is masked for the most part. The internet service guy came to the house today to give me a new modem. The 3 of us here and service dude chatted about 45 minutes while he did his thing. All of us were masked, and no surprise, we all could breathe just fine.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm intrigued by the idea of a Japanese mosquito pig!
Based on what Shir said about Israel, and the NYT story today, I am less convinced that schools can be reopened safely. The Times story said middle-schoolers were the worst carriers/spreaders.
The map for Covid cases trending upward is also awful. We suck as a species, man.
After 7 months my brother and I have finally gotten it worked out to where I can access the money in the 529 College Savings Account he set up, in his name, for Mac.
So tonight I call to get the first withdrawal. I get through all the questions and am about to give the guy on the phone the $ amount and he says "so this can only go to a school, your brother's bank account, or in a check to your brother."
HEAD DESK. The whole point of me being given access was so I could get the money to myself, the person paying the bills.
Happy Bastille Day, everyone! Thanks for the birthday wishes. I'm having an ordinary day, with cake. A cake that looks like a sheet cake, you'd never believe it, I'm a genius.
My co-workers all sang Happy Birthday to me over Zoom. It was so nice. My boss signed off with "Keep being awesome!" I like working there. I feel appreciated.
Happy Birthday Zenkitty!
Aw, yay Zen. Glad work is not horrible like your last job.
Appreciation is indeed the best present.
A cake that looks like a sheet cake! Bold choice. I'm so glad your work appreciates you
Also yay for getting the forms, askye!
My son & DIL are too cute. Their formal FB announcement of the pregnancy features a Tesla onesie.
