It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Coding and Sleeping

Pretty much everything that is important on my computer is kept synced with my private cloud. The rest gets backed up to my NAS which has redundancy but, you know, doesn't do much good if the house burns down or something. What I would like to do is have a NAS at my parent's house and the two could back each other up, but haven't taken that step yet.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Gud, how are you doing?

Our wings are not tired.

Sorry Mac is being such a forking jerk, msbelle.

I'm guessing my filter changed this, but still a valid sentiment.

Gud, how are you doing?

Yes, you have been on my mind a lot, particularly with my Zoe issues.

'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"

Here's hoping that mac comes down off his high horse. Alas, some mistakes you have to make for yourself before the lessons stick.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Work is insane today, largely because of people. I hate them. People.

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

People are the worst.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

However, capybaras are the best: [link]

Grr. Had annual review with my boss this morning which was basically like "you're awesome and you're doing awesome and moving on to the "opportunities" section, if you want a promotion at some point, you'd need to take ownership of (tasks that are not my job and I've been told not to do and I wouldn't have time for)". And I was like "so, there's no chance I'm being promoted this year? And you can't be clear about what it is you think I'd need to do to be promoted?" (It's a title change, not an actual job description change). And I know folks who've been promoted after two years, and I'm about to hit three and she's saying well maybe next year at 4 years in. And I'm pissed.

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

Timelies all!

Sigh...just found out the kids activities for ages 3-5 on the cruise ship require full potty training. Mr. S isn't quite there yet. Now we have to figure out what to do with him on the days we're at sea.
