Oh boo on lack of World Cup! Not that I’ve watched any of it because…MEN’S soccer? Nah. But apparently it’s been exciting!
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My Thanksgiving outfit features a Thankful t-shirt, which I will wear with a skort. If I get too warm then I'll switch to a tank top. [link]
I’m at work today trying to get as much done as possible and not just stew in resentment for not taking today off.
One task I will be taking care of is looking up how many use it or lose it days I have this year and getting the request in for those days.
I came in to the office knowing I would never do any work at home, but I am not doing much here, either! Oops.
Wishing you an epically shrunk tumor, Epic!!!
I had a 2-day trip to northern Ohio for a consulting gig and today I’m lurking on my computer all day waiting for copyedit tasks from another gig to come in. Freelance life!
I'm WFH today but I don't really have any work to do. I mean, I sent the one email I needed to, and possibly something else will come up so I'll stay online checking email. Which is basically what I did yesterday in the office.
Tumor miniaturization-ma!
I have successfully rendezvoused with DH and kiddo, and am on flight 2/3.
They were boarding two flights at adjacent gates at exactly the same time. The one going to MSP boarded much more quickly than ours, I think due* to wc transfer issues.
* this was originally "thonk die". There are too many vowels right there together on the keyboard.
Safe travels, Debet
My calendar tells me today is Wolfenoot - I forget exactly how you are supposed to celebrate but ISTR recall something about eating meat and maybe having cake? Regardless, happy Wolfenoot!
Epic, I wish you epic shrinkage of that tumor.
Happy Wolfenoot! I need to figure out what that means for me today, too.
I'm handling a bunch of tasks to set me up for better budgeting in 2023. Like, "What am I subscribed to exactly, and why?" I've unsubscribed to two things already.
I am proud of myself that I negotiated with NYT again... I pay for All Access, which includes digital news (which, I don't actually like their reporting, but...), access to Wirecutter, Games, and Cooking, but I pay a super cheap $4 per month rate... until they charge me the "full" rate every year, which is $25 a month. Um. NO!
So, I said why I was downgrading to just Games, and they reinstated me at $5 per month for All Access + credited me the $25 they just billed me. Third year in a row. Why don't they just adjust the damn price already? Probably because not everyone balks at $25 per month. BUT I DO!
So, yeah, not work-working today... much.
