That feels pretty accurate, yeah.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Woo, a good thing for Matilda!
I get my second jab tomorrow, so I'll probably spend the next couple of weeks scheduling all of the in-person appointments for when I'm at full immunity. I'll have to see if my stylist is still working at the salon, because something needs to be done with this mop of hair on my head.
I also finally got notice from the IRS that I do not, in fact, owe them like $50K and the inquiry is closed. Zero regrets about paying an accountant to handle that for me.

I have the worst goddamn FOMO watching everyone get vaccinated. (I can get vaccinated the first week of May, so not much longer. But still, the wait is making me so impatient!)

Money well spent!

Yay Matilda! I'm so glad something came through for her.
Yay Shrift's accountant! I'm glad the IRS stuff is resolved.
I just had my yearly review, and it went well. I keep saying I'm going to get another job in MI, and I just have to keep this one going until then. But another job has yet to materialize, so I'm glad this one is going well. And I have a new title (not really a promotion, more a recognization that my work priorities are different now), and I can make that look good on LinkedIn. Career progress! Sort of. Anyway, I broke out the second half of a pint of Ben and Jerry's to celebrate. (Chocolate fudge brownie.)

Eeep. Waiting for verdict. Sending peaceful and justice thoughts.

This was so helpful. Of course, I am stuck just being addicted to Best Fiends. Damn you Kevin Flynn for Crime Writers on! They have been advertising for it this whole time, and I wasn't feeling up to it. Now I am and I can't stop playing. I am acheiving flow, I guess.... Also, a Buffista is one of their favorite listeners and appears on the Patreon Book Club. Anyway, a great podcast if you like people who think critically about documentary podcasts, movies and TV series. Although the theme is true crime, it is really four smart people analyzing things, kind of like we used to do with Buffy.
I am so glad Matilda got the job!

Thank god. And the jury.
