I have no guilt about that.
No guilt required!

Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.
First post today was msbelle talking about Disney! My SILs, other friend, and their kids went there Monday. They said it was incredible. With the low occupancy rate there was zero waiting in lines for anything. They were delighted and didn't feel unsafe at all.
That's a good side to the pandemic that I hadn't considered!
ION, my left ankle is stupid and I hate it forever. If I didn't need it to keep myself ambulatory, I would launch it into space.

msbelle, please tell the Haunted Mansion that I miss it and want to come home.
Since last Thursday I have: stared unbelievingly at Slack, created a documentation planning process, had it reviewed by my boss, my feature release manager, and their boss, ran a meeting presenting and explaining it to my feature project managers, created a documentation request tracking spreadsheet for the same PMs, had a 1:1 with the junior writer I’m mentoring, and did not kill a project manager with my brain when they said “No, we don’t have any design docs about these workflows, they just evolved organically during the UX design meetings.”
I would like a large drink, a slice of cake the size of my head, and no meetings for the rest of the week.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Has any buffista or buffista-adjacent heard of Averna?
My kid is in love with it so I’m doing a deep dive. Seems like a super talented and creative media savvy group of young things.

I'm feeling very upbeat tonight. Possibly because I spent the last half hour listening to songs from Galavant.

Stay safe everyone.

Congrats on the grandchild, Laura!
Averna looks like something I would have been all over as a teenager. I haven't heard of it before, so I don't know if it's a front for something untoward, though.

Because books.
::waves at Laura::
flea, happy to be soldiering along with you. This is my last one, and she will, by god, graduate, or I will die trying.

Hi Laura!
Yesterday I somehow wrangled an appointment for my annual physical in barely a month, which is about five to six weeks earlier than I expected. Downside, I really need to hit the treadmill hard between now and mid February to see if I can get my weight down.

Hi, Laura!
Um... I don't think I have anything else. Yup. Nope. That's it.
