oh, -t, I've had times like that ... such as the night I couldn't figure out how to unlock my apartment door to get out
In other news, you were looking for other forms to tell the future - seems there used to be Czech fortune-telling dice

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, I was hoping for something with dice! Thanks, I'll have to look into those

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I got a promotion last week. I'm now allowed to add "Sr" to my job title. So yay.

Broken tea sounds super disappointing.
-t, I have used my key fob (unsuccessfully) to try to open the garage door. I feel you.
My Monday is being pretty chill this week, all in all, so that's good. Tomorrow I have PT, then a doctor's appt. with a team I don't really love, and then meetings out the ass. Not psyched about Tuesday, really.
Speaking of PT -- so, I've been having shoulder and back pain on the right side. I get an xray, and it's "some arthritic decay (or something) and a bone spur," which, fine... but it was almost signed off with an "as one expects in a patient of this age..." air. Like, not, "Oh, no! Pain! Arthritis!" But more like, "Yeah, sure, arthritis, as you do." It was sort of a sad little realization that, yeah, you're 54... that shit is not at all surprising at this point. Ah, well. So it goes.

Thrive to spite them
Well I heard from worker's comp -an email sent at 2:30, with the bare minimum info that I have a eye doctor appointment tomorrow at 8:30. Which technically I could make because my physical therapy appointment isn't until 10:30 but I emailed back and said I couldn't do it , the timing was too close. Also screw that kind of notice and if he can get me an appointment tomorrow. I will also be calling the supervsior I spoke to on Friday and explaining what happened and why I couldn't attend the appointment and ask if it's normal to send an email about an appointment scheduled with less than 24 hours notice

Go senior Jessica!
Also yeah less than 24 hour notice is a bit ridiculous, askye! I guess they figure you shouldn’t be doing anything else if you’re disabled???

Congrats, Jessica Sr!
I wish that was all easier, askye.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yeah, less than 24 hours notice is really really difficult and they can't possibly be surprised that you can't make it.
Congrats on your promotion, Jessica!
I watched every minute of Judge Jackson's Senate Judiciary Committee hearings until today. Today just broke me. I couldn't; I started to choke on my own rage and I couldn't. And now they're deadlocked, 11-11, and will be passing her on for a full floor vote without being either approved or rejected (both Collins and Romney have committed to voting for her, so she should comfortably have enough votes even without VP Harris coming in to break a tie). Holy FUCK.
