Buffy: You tossed that vamp like he was a... little teeny vamp. Riley: You wanna go again? C'mon. I bet this place is just teeming with aerodynamic vampires.
'Help'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Poe, Buffy and Dolly Parton all on the same day. That should make for a good party theme.

Yes, my son has always appreciated sharing his day with Poe and Parton. He wasn't big into Buffy, but probably because it was a 'Mom' thing.
How are things with #2 son?
Better. I am still having issues, but keeping it internal as they are trying. Saturday, which was her original due date, they brought him to DH's basketball game as a surprise. There was another super wee one there too! We went out to eat at an outdoor restaurant afterwards as it is still appropriate weather for eating outside here. Their rule was that no one could hold him until his gestational due date because of him being so early, which understandable. So I got to hold him finally all through dinner! My arm was actually sore the next morning. Bobby went back to work yesterday, but still has several weeks paternity leave in reserve to use as needed. She has applied to transfer to one of a couple WFH positions within Tesla after her leave is up. She's been there for over 5 years so that shouldn't be an issue.
The first and only basketball game I went to this year looks like it was the last. All the games have been canceled for the next couple weeks for Covid outbreaks one county over, basically because once you trace it out a bunch of school districts are potentially exposed. DH opted not to coach this year although he attends the games and goes up top to film. No huddles for him. Now it looks like no games for a while, again. I do have to say people were compliant with masks and distancing at the game. Probably because they would have been told to leave otherwise, but still it was appreciated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's something, at least. I'm glad you got to hold the baby!

Oooh! (Although even though I have seen several references to Edgar Allen Poe today, when I read that, my first thought was Poe Dameron.)

#1 Son was always super delighted that he shared the birthday with Janis Joplin too. He loves her and Dolly as he has taste.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Got my first COVID shot today. Arm's a bit sore, but that's to be expected. I hope that's the worst of it, but I do have tomorrow off, so I can take it easy(ish) if need be.

A welcome addition to the party.
I got through my usual Tuesday stuff and all the email received through yesterday so I'm still a day behind, but only a day behind so that's probably ok.
Oh crap, I forgot Amazon. Dammit.

Whew, my coworker who usually handles Amazon had an outage in place for the holiday and they actually abided by it, so that was easy. Only 45 minutes late quitting work...

I just read the transcript of your interview, Noise. It's pretty moving. Reading about how hard you are working to keep your employees with such reduced revenue is making me even madder at my company, who had a 30%+ increase in revenue and still laid a significant percentage of the workforce off
