I am distracting myself by looking at books that I probably shouldn’t buy for ltc.
Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don't care where you're going? Book: 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.

That squash-spinach-pasta bake looks delicious! I have left-over pasta from making lasagna last night, so I should try it.
Also, I managed to insert FOUR USB cables correctly on the the first try yesterday,
Ooooooooooooooh!
A good work thing might be happening for me. Any career-enhancement~ma that people have handy would be appreciated, please.

Calli, tons of ~ma for you.
I’m home now. TCG just took ltc to karate and I’m going to take a nap.

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

My HR apparently for no reason made the last day for FSA reimbursement purposes 30dec instead of 31dec. Meanwhile I spent the $700 left in my FSA account on random crap on 31dec to not lose that money. Wtf. All the communications from the FSA people said 31dec. Who stops at 30dec?!? I had to open an HR case thing to see if they can change that and really am hoping that they can and that if not I can return the stuff (but then I’ll still be pissed because the FSA vendor will keep my $700!)
Because I was pissed, I also opened up an HR inquiry in the system asking when they intend to comply with the California and Washington laws regarding salary transparency (they have not been putting salary ranges in job postings yet). I’m sure they’ll say they’re looking into it or some shit, but I felt petty.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Thank you, Grandma Lois, for watching over your weird grandson. Power was restored here at 4:57, just under 24 hours after it went out.
I am safe and sound, and I thank you all for your good wishes and thoughts.
Now let's see if it holds up through the next wave.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I feel like I should tell Sophia that, for dinner tonight, I made an attempt at cabbage stuffed with filling that I'd layer in a lasagna. It was delicious.
I am glad you liked it!
I am glad your power is restored Karl.
Much ~ma to all who need it.
