Yeah, I think I'll pass, also, Tep. Also, I'm in a wheelchair. If I really want to feel like that, I'll pretend to use your bathroom. ETA: context and stuff.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

Congrats on the new job, Amy! I hope it is fabulous.
Team meeting over. Regular workday tomorrow, then smaller strategy meeting Thu-Fri. Then delayed Christmas with La Familia, then I head home!
Gabapentin still doing the job. Am positive-thinking my way into this pain being all gone by next week so I can taper off. Let's all just assume that will be the case, shall we?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
My office did an escape room - three teams of staff, each in a different room - and I discovered I'm not good at them. However, I did discover that I was the only person on staff who knew that the safe is always behind the picture on the wall.

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

Yay gabapenton!
Boo head cold, Debet! But yay saying hi!
last time I had it on autopay ConEd stole accidentally charged us $10k
Yikes! That’s basically why I only have a couple bills on autopay, ones that should be the same every month. I worry something like that would happen and also worry they’d charge me double or something and I wouldn’t notice for six months or something! Having to go in and manually pay it is probably more trouble than it’s worth but it’s my monthly “oh wait, how much am I spending?” check on myself.

Because books.

Yay, Todd! Although it is a bit surprising no one else knew that...
I just licked the brownie batter bowl so thoroughly I am clearly destined to die of salmonella, but it was SO worth it.
Thanks for the good wishes on the job!

Because books.
I'm all hopped on brownie batter, I know, but one link: [link]
Cute cottage/house, but ... why are the walls black in every room? (They are relieved by white under the chair rail or whatever, but still.)
Also I have forgotten how to neatly format links. Apologies!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Now if escape rooms had a bar and a live camera feed so you could watch the people in the room, I'd send Mr. Loomy into one and watch the chaos.
This? This I wanna watch. With a cocktail.

I had zero problems going off of gabapentin fwiw.

Cool, thanks for the data point, sj.
