Our wings are not tired.

Yikes, on both the poor doggos and the lack of power and abundance of snow.

Do you have a generator for the essential stuff?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yikes, on both the poor doggos and the lack of power and abundance of snow.

All of this.

Coding and Sleeping

Nope no generator. Staying with the in-laws tonight unless the power comes back on this evening still. House is still 53 degrees, which doesn't seem bad after 30 hours without heat.

Yeah, 53 is fine for sleeping, but not so much for showering and getting off to school/work. It's good that you have an option for staying elsewhere. I hope it becomes unnecessary.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yikes, on both the poor doggos and the lack of power and abundance of snow.

Yeah, this.

There was a chance of an ice storm here, but it looks like we've dodged that. I've spent most of today cooking, cleaning, and reading fic. Which is not a bad way to spend a Sunday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That one! Yikes.

msbelle, thank you on behalf of the doggos.

I have a question. Do we know the evil genius who designed training videos to be so soul sucking that documentation now seems to be the fun part of the work day? Asking for a friend.

I've been particularly annoyed by the robot voice that I hear way too often in videos recently. There are plenty of people with really wonderful voice over talent. At least make the sound pleasant even if the content is crap.

I hate when my bad work is shared with the world. I mean, it wasn't awful, but I threw something together in a half-hour because someone needed it. The person who needed it thought it was fine. The Dean? Not so much. She has feedback! I know it's not my best work! Ugh. (I don't think she knows it was my work specifically, so I don't have to be embarrassed about that. But still.)
