Oh boy - what an interesting real life lesson that was . . . Too bad there isn’t some way that it could be replicated on a regular basis where it is most needed.
Random - did you know that there is such a thing as pop-up stickers??!!??
Slap my hand now!

It's funny to me that in Publishing, traditionally it's the men's work that you have to be leery of. (There are happy exceptions and I work for and alongside some of them, but male writers and editors seem to have a much higher WTF?:competence ratio on average.)
Speaking of masculine competence, I'm very stoked that I managed to jury-rig my bedroom closet's sliding door back onto its tracks without having to call in the building super for repairs. He'd probably be horrified that I tightened the bracket it's anchored to with a stack of pennies, but hey, at least I'm not using them in place of fuses!

There was a great article a while back by a guy who had a shared mailbox with his female co-worker.I remember that! I also seem to recall a trans scientist who after he transitioned, he was told he was smarter than "his sister" who was actually HIM.

There was also one from a man who transitioned to woman who said when she went looking for a job, all she was offered was either lower level and/or paid a lot less. Including a position under what he'd been offered some time before the transition.

I did a lot of onerous tasks today. Healthcare related--asking for referrals for O & R, requesting insurance coverage information, getting a blood draw for me and a follow up appointment later--FLU SHOT! Yay!
I will be rewarded with C's homemade chicken dumpling soup.

That's some heavy duty adulting there, Cash! Enjoy the soup!

Cash, you deserve all the soup you desire.
In other news, I came across this YouTube video of a guinea pig trying on costumes. He was NOT a fan.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay for adulting, Cash!

My NP said I can wait until March for my COVID booster since I was infected in September.
But I got my flu shot AND a bonus pneumonia vaccine (high risk—I’ll get a booster when I’m 65).
