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

I did send out an email to my team bemoaning that we couldn't all get together for Happy Hour, which makes me feel slightly better? Very slightly.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Toddson, as some of the cars have been in those spots for days, in the Before Times I would have been "It's only four-hour parking out there, you get what you get". Part of the neighborhood's striving for net-zero carbon includes only one parking spot per household; multicar families regularly scramble to find a secure place to keep their vehicles that's fairly close. And now, of course, a lot of folks have had people move in with them for the duration and parking enforcement is not a priority. But the city should have talked to the HOA, put flyers under the windshield wipers, SOMETHING.

askye, four hours?!? I salute your dedication.

Aw, -t, I'm sorry. Backchannel Hangouts?

Laura, let us hope all employers are awesome and give people time earlier in the day to vote, if not the day off - I don't want you to have to tell anyone "No, I'm sorry, you're too late".

JenP, I was trying to be classy and picked something too delicate for daily wear. *g*

Jesse, I only have scales because of UK cookbooks; I've never managed a successful starter - may your luck be better!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

PA allows campaigning up to 10' of a polling place entrance which is crazy. That's no space at all!

Wow, that is crazy.

I can't believe I had a flour crisis at the supermarket! They didn't have any 5lb bags of King Arthur AP, and only had 5lb bags of whole wheat. I am walking, so am not trying to buy a 10 lb bag, which they did have. Flour trauma!!

Ooh, just saw press. We are moving digs? Do we need money? I...can't send any until they return the $6k that was stolen out of my account but after that's fixed (please let it be fixed) I can

Ooh, that is a dilemma, Jesse!

We are moving. There's no need for money to make the move.

Unrelated to the move, my server rack has arrived. Can't mess with it right now, but looking forward to putting together my home server cluster.

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

Timelies all!

We got notified yesterday that a teacher at Mr. S's school was experiencing COVID-like symptoms. Luckily for us it is not one of the teachers he works with.The classes the teacher does work with are going back to all-virtual until things are resolved. Mr. S's class is still doing the hybrid model of three days in person and two days virtual. All classes were supposed to go to 4 days in person starting next week, but the school is obviously holding off on that.

'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"

Cambridge is doing another round of testing nursing homes and assisted living residences, so I'm signed up for a free work-sponsored test on Nov 9.
