Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

All of a sudden at work a lot of people are in my space about my first non-COVID related project which had a due date of mid-November. That is NOT last Tuesday OR today, it is Monday, so no, the project is not complete. I still hope against hope it will be complete by Monday (it will not). Too many parts of it are out of my control and people are not getting back to me, so....

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Amy-thee and Amy-Chee for me.

Happy Birthday, Jessica!

TCG and I have been married 10 years today!

One of my cousins in TX has tested positive for COVID. He has "moved" into a travel trailer by his house since they have no guest room and his wife and three kids are isolating for 2 weeks.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Happy birthday, Jessica! May you get compensatory dim sum, with interest, the very second it's available, but your family is a pretty good consolation prize.

Happy anniversary, sj! You and TCG and his first-date gift are some of my favorite things in the world.

Team (possibly a team of one) Amy-chuh, A Myth, Ask Ye (in a Faire accent, like "I ask ye good gentles all, doth that sound fair to ye?")

{{{Calli}}} I knew you were friends and neighbors, but I hadn't realized what a loving, supportive community you had built around you.

Like The Good Place said: "It's just having enough time with the people you love.”

This.

It's early morning and I'm getting ready for work and drinking First Coffee at my mom's place in Reno, mask ready for the moment she steps out of her room. Her new cat, a 5 or 6 year old Oakland girl rehomed from a crowded home with too many other cats and toddlers, is somewhere prowling around and just happily owning the place. She's still not used to being in a home where she has all her human's attention, there's always a lap, and every nook and cranny and corner is hers and nobody will ever hiss and snarl her out of it or try to grab her tail.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Happy birthday to Jessica and happy anniversary to TCG and sj!

My boss’ husband has tested positive for COVID (mild case). She’s tested negative as have the kids. There’s supposed to be six of us working around a tomb less than 4’ tall on Saturday. We’re supposed to “let her know if we’re not comfortable.” So once again because one of my coworkers won’t follow CDC guidelines, I get to choose between potentially exposing myself or losing another day of work. UGH. And not just a coworker, the boss. Most of the time she’s amazing but… I really don’t feel she’s taking this seriously enough.

Herding cats for fun

Happy Birthday Jessica! Happy Anniversary sj!

Wow, a Miracleman sighting! It’s been awhile. You have no idea how many times I got in trouble at work for laughing out loud over something you posted.

Those folks were an uptight lot - I also caused controversy and conversation amongst staff when I sent out an email detailing the dates of my vacation and ended with “woot!” No one could understand what that meant or why I said it and I was made to explain myself.
