I have to head over to campus in about an hour. It's been a couple of years since I spent any time on the campus of the university where I allegedly work, and I'm kind of looking forward to seeing it. And they are taking vaccination and masks seriously there. Still, lots of humans, breathing in my general vicinity. Suboptimal.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh thank you so for the quick working ~ma. She is to be moved to Rehab in about 1-1/2 hours. I'll go home tonight! My brother has to take over now.
eta: I love my sister, but I am worn out.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I, in fact, ordered that skirt!
Yes!
Glad to hear that, Laura.

Yay glad to hear that Laura! I’ve heard it’s been hard to find nursing home and rehab beds so fingers crossed it works out as planned! And that you get some restful comfortable sleep.
TGIF y’all.
Also, dancing is back tonight!!! So of course I gave myself a blister walking the dog in the wrong shoes yesterday, oops. But I think it’ll be fine. Now to spruce up my hair, too….

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Just did my first rapid test since Monday night when I found I was positive.
Still, unambiguously positive.
Come on, already!
Symptoms very mild at this point.

Well, glad the symptoms are mild. Hope the virus leaves you soon!

I keep forgetting Monday is a holiday. I'm looking forward to having the day off but I am going to have so much to do on Tuesday!

This is an extremely specific to me gripe, but we apparently are sending samples of new cookware out to "influencers" in advance of shipping them to stores, and to make this happened have air shipped a small quantity of a few items over from China or Thailand (I forget which is the COO of these products but I'm pretty sure it's one of those) at pretty great expense but have NO PROCESS IN PLACE to get that inventory into the system so that the orders can be processed and we can actually ship these out to the influencers. I have been poking various departments to get things done so we can ship these stupid things all week and we still can't do it! Argh!

And posting about it made it happen. At least, the inventory is showing as available, someone else will have to confirm the orders are processed.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Yay, Matilda!
She's a progressive Democrat who's been on the School Board for several years in a deeply conservative district near San Diego.
My first thought was North County.
She's been stalked and harassed this year by right wing nutbags
Then I thought East County.
When weirdos are coming up to your door dressed like FedEx delivery only to start screaming in your face when you open the door, then it's not worth it.
Geez, poor thing. Tell her that I (childless, from pretty much the middle of the county), said thanks.
Raspberry + chocolate is one of my favorite flavor combos.
There's an ice cream kiosk in one of the local malls that always has a few vegan (therefore lactose-free) flavors. Their dark chocolate is just a smidge too bitter, and their raspberry is just a smidge too tart. Both together? *Chef's kiss*
LOVE the skirt, Tep!
Glad your sister is progressing (and you get to go back off duty for a while), Laura!
Fingers crossed for negativity soon, David!
