Because books.

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Happy Birthday Zenkitty!

Our wings are not tired.

Appreciation is indeed the best present.

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

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.

Thrive to spite them

Happy Birthday!

So I've run into another snag. I can't remember my PIN or my AGI so I can't file, I guess I can try to get my printer working and print everything.

My google drive kept getting full and I couldn't get email so I deleted almost all my email and it turns out I deleted my stuff related to my taxes. I can't remember what service I used last year since I did that in a panic and I can't find my copies of my tax return.

However I made back ups of everythig nad put it on an external drive and then apparently downloaded that to my computer or something becuase I can find 8 copies of my 2008 returns

Happy birthday, Zenkitty!

I finally got all the pieces of my new sit-stand desk on Friday evening. I started assembling it yesterday afternoon and it took me about three hours, although things were easier after I ransacked my junk drawer and found the one hex wrench I own. I had to search product manual archives for PDFs to understand how the desk actually went together since it didn't come with instructions beyond a vague diagram. The instructions I did find were not in logical order, so I had to disassemble multiple times. After a lot of sweat, aggravation, and a lurid bruise on my arm, I finally have an office chair and a sit-stand desk. My kitchen table now can be used for its intended purpose! I'm standing at my desk right now AIFG!
