Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

They're generally not required in San Diego - signage usually says if you're vaxxed you don't have to mask, but no one is verifying. But at my fan convention 2 weeks ago (SD WhoCon represent!), we required vax card or negative test. One of our committee members refuses to get vaxxed and therefore couldn't (wouldn't) come. Tried to be all passive-aggressive at our (Zoom) committee meetings, "Well, if that's the rule, guess I won't be able to come...", apparently not realizing that this is leading to secret thoughts of, "Oh, thank goodness, you wingnut moron!"

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Happy Birthday Fiona!

Was it really that long ago the NYistas got up their courage and met f2f in your corporate apartment?

Time does fly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That was forever ago! Wild.

Happy birthday, Fiona!

I'm so grateful Matilda is back in school. She's whipped together an entirely new cohort in a couple of months. Tomorrow I have to take her into school early so she and her friend, Carlin, can do the makeup on Zane for Upset Gender Norms Day (it's Spirit Week).

I should probably pick her up a moustache while I'm out.

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Fiona!

Mr. S’s COVID test was negative, so he goes back to school tomorrow. I survived today.

Thrive to spite them

Apparently I wasn't taken off the schedule for Sunday and my manager accommodated my request to start later since I was driving back. But she did it on Sunday. Our schedule was down in the system so I couldn't see it and I just checked and I'm scheduled for Sunday but off Mon and Tues. Which may have been the original schedule.

Fingers crossed they just offer to give me Sunday off and leave rest of the schedule alone. Then I could drive back Monday. My brother is flying back on Monday so that would give us family time.

Y'all. My coworker is watching Buffy for the first time. I can't bring myself to say anything.

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

Oh, wow. I would not know how to handle that.
