I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Our wings are not tired.

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.

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.

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.)

Coding and Sleeping

Was informed by my smart home system that the power returned about 15 minutes ago. Will return when the system says the house is reasonably warm again.

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

Good job, smart home system!

I have so much catch up work this morning and people keep scheduling meetings for me! I might need real caffeinated coffee.

Turns out my old boss's firm had most of their projects put on hold by the shutdown, so I probably can't get any part-time work from them.

Off to climb, and then meet an old friend in the city for lunch. The exciting life of a furloughed fed!
