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.
Some mornings, I don't know if I could pull off either alone until I'd been up for a while.
In me me me news, I got my oven to light. I checked the Hotpoint site and it looks like all their 20-inch stoves are self-igniting without a pilot light. So last night I gave it a try - turns out that if I wait for a little while, both burners and ovens will light on their own ... I just got nervous about gas pouring out and didn't wait long enough.
Oh that's good news, Toddson.
I'm glad that's working for you now, Toddson.
Say, did anyone else get an Amazon "holiday wishbook" in the mail? I think they're trying for a Sears Christmas catalog feel. And I think they're kinda hitting it, although I like to think Sears had somewhat fewer labor violations. At least, after the '30s.
The kitty's Advent calendar was delivered less than 24 hours after I ordered it. That's service! I didn't pick next-day shipping; just the flat-rate option. So now we need to hide it until December 14.
Calli, I just handed that catalog off to ltc so she can circle things she wants.
My town is currently a maze of different detours of construction projects, and every time I pass a group of construction workers and cops talking to each other without masks on I get angrier and angrier.
Much the same here, sj, minus the cops. And me thinking "hope they have ICU beds left for you, ignorant motherfuckers!"
I have not yet received an Amazon catalog, but since my ballot wasn't mailed until yesterday I sure hope a catalog isn't gumming up the works.
I've seen multiple friends on fb or elsewhere ask for a ride to the airport, in the past few days. Which is frustrating—I know there are some folks that feel they have to travel (for a sick family member, say) or are appropriately quarantining on either end and combining with testing and whatnot, but man it makes me annoyed I'm doing the "right" thing when I really want to be going somewhere and seeing someone (anywhere, anyone!)
There are like 4 cops being paid goodness knows how much to direct traffic at every construction site and you know they are also interacting with the public.
My department is apparently reorganizing. I am tense and anxious about it. I think the changes are probably good, but I don't know yet what it'll mean for me personally, so, anxious.
And a team meeting has been scheduled for 20 minutes from now, presumably to discuss the department meeting, which we sure as hell need but I don't know when I'm going to be able to have lunch...
