I was positive the time on my clock was wrong when I woke up today. (SPOILER: it wasn't.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Well, now I want to watch Boba Fett. Not reading what other people are saying about it is getting to be challenging.
An I can't get to my ERP - this time it seems to be a me-problem not a company-wide-problem but it's making it pretty hard to work.

Ha! Posting about it fixed it! Complaining about it to my coworkers did not. Some kind of lesson there, I'm sure.

Definitely a sign you should only complain to coworkers, so it doesn’t get fixed and you don’t have to work, next time??
I’m having a hard time digging back in to work. Done a thing here or there but….not much.

I'm waiting on a resident pickup. The testing they did on Sunday/Monday was all negative. Got tested again today, results tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Ha, meara, I'll keep that in mind!
I got some stuff done and now I'm...not doing much of that. Oh well.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Got tested again today, results tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
I learned a new word for this, applies to anticipating any upcoming test(s) as well as waiting for the results: scanxiety.

Tim has a cousin whose whole nuclear family (mom, dad [the cousin], and their 9 kids) is super over-the-top Extreme Catholic. We got their Christmas letter yesterday, and, I shit you not, it was dated "December 2021, A.D." Because we were all in serious danger of assuming it was FUCKING 2021 B.C. OH MY GOD. (And obviously that's not the reason for using "A.D."; they used it because every single thing they do or say has to somehow invoke Jesus and Holy Mother Church.)
Like, I obviously knew people who were bonkers over-the-top gung ho for Jesus (I see you, freak-ass church ["That was a cool sunset." "Yeah, but not as cool as Jesus."]). I went to Catholic school for 12 years. I interned for a Catholic magazine in college. But even they didn't date their correspondence with "A.D." Yikes.
I guess it's better than them being a family of axe murderers, but wow.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
You going to write them back and date it January 2022, C.E.? Because you should totally do that.
