Jesus, I emailed the guy and told him he had the wrong person, and he doubled down on me. I had to pull out the phrase "personally identifiable information".

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I 1000% do not understand Discord at all. Multiple people have explained to me multiple times how it works and how to find the discussions I want, but I am still an idiot.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I will admit I also don’t really get Zoom Chat or Teams. I sort of get one or the other, but I somehow have to be on both at work. Can’t you just email me? In theory, if I only had one, I think I would learn it- but IT uses teams and the rest of the school is mandated to be on Zoom chat! At least Teams eventually emails me so I notice it!

I think I tried Discord at the beginning of the pandemic and couldn’t figure it out.

I have confidence I could figure any of these things out if I really wanted to, but it is like, too much work for something I want to be fun!

Thank you JZ for inviting me to a Facebook group! That I can handle

I've been postponing the "understanding how this thing works" for lack of spoons, but it looks like the saner alternative to Twitter. Maybe I'll give it a try in the holidays, a few months from now.

Our wings are not tired.

Got my daily “how’s it going? Need anything?” Text from the resort office this morning. Told them how much we like the cabins and that we would be back next tournament and asked for trash bags and coffee. The response was very nice.

That is awesome. I have to tell you, we get groups of teams here in the past that have kept us on our toes. You have a great group of young men, whose parents should all be proud, and we don't get to always say that. Great job with these boys. I will have housekeeping bring over some more decaf coffee. Is there anything else you need besides trash bags and coffee?

Thrive to spite them

I am really terrible with Discord. I've joined several servers but it can be really confusing because there are so many channels and my brain just gets overwhelmed. I mainly just pay attention to the minecraft server discord.

I read the worst take on why the Uvalde police acted the way they did - because they were afraid of "monday morning quarterbacking".

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

Timelies all!

Gary took Mr. S to the aquarium this morning, where he acquired a stuffed octopus. Mr. S has also made slime and hula-hooped, and is now making a castle out of egg cartons.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I accidentally took myself out for brunch. I meant to get pho and lemonade for lunch, but that places was closed, and the second place had a long line so I ended up at a place with mimosas included but I did not expect them to bring me FIVE. So that was followed by a nap.
