I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Our wings are not tired.

Well done, Dana!

Cool beans, Drew! My son is a League of Legends addict, which is the extent of my knowledge of that world.

Nice to hear what you are doing, ND! That sounds interesting. Sort of interactive theater + gaming?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Work was fairly quiet today for which I was very relieved. We still do not have a clean list of unregistered employees, but from what I can see I think about 1/3 of the employees are not registered and will need to get weekly testing starting end of the month.

Today was the last day for one of our division chiefs, so we are now down two chiefs across 5 division. Well actually 3, but in the third division, they have hired 2 new employees to cover the role of the chief, but without chief title, and those people are new to the County, so need time to get to know things.

Are you less itchy, msbelle? I hope so

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

I hope you’re feeling better, Matt.

I’m also looking forward to an extra hour of sleep Sunday.

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

Timelies all!

No special plans for the weekend. The usual grocery run tomorrow and I agreed to go into work on Sunday to process a sample.

I have been working on accepting that the fuzzy definition of “decimated” is an organic evolution of living language and therefore ok, but I just saw it used in a historical fiction summary and I still want to call that wrong.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

After the time switch, it's going to be very dark still in the morning for Matilda to take the bus to school, and the stop is several blocks away. Not loving sending her out into city streets in the dark.

I know there are way more important things going on, but it's opposite, right? It will now be light in the morning and dark in the afternoon??

Tom, I just want to re-emphasize that it doesn't have to be abusive to end a relationship with someone you're paying for a service, no matter how long you've been working with them. You just have to not want to do it anymore. That's enough of a reason.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I know there are way more important things going on, but it's opposite, right? It will now be light in the morning and dark in the afternoon??

Hmmm, that sounds correct. That poses its own problems since she's hanging out after school but that's more of a known quantity.

For Tom, I have also had the experience of having a therapist fall asleep. It is demoralizing and just terrible. I was 22 so I fired the therapist by not showing up and am still resistant to prolonged therapy. So I think you are handling it well, and also you are not the only person this has happened to! (Although it might be weirder in person when you are in the same room!)
